More than twenty years after reinventing post-punk with their now cult debut, Nouvelle Vague opens a bold new chapter with 'A Date with Depeche Mode', a full-length reimagining of one of the most influential and beloved catalogues in modern music.
Few bands have shaped pop culture like Depeche Mode. Few artists have mastered the art of musical reinterpretation like Nouvelle Vague. Bringing these two worlds together feels both completely unexpected and utterly inevitable.
Recorded between Rio de Janeiro and Paris, the album transforms thirteen Depeche Mode classics into intimate, cinematic and deeply emotional songs. What were once driven by machines become warm, organic and timeless, revealing the songwriting at the heart of these iconic compositions.
Performed by an exceptional international cast of guest vocalists - including Skye Edwards (Morcheeba), Beth Hirsch, Flavia Coelho, Mélanie Pain, Phoebe Killdeer, Fredrika Stahl and more - each track offers a unique encounter between a voice and a song, staying true to the signature Nouvelle Vague approach.
From 'Enjoy the Silence' and 'Personal Jesus' to 'Stripped', 'Just Can't Get Enough' and the fan-favourite 'Ice Machine', these timeless songs are reborn through bossa nova, jazz, French pop and Latin influences without ever losing their emotional power.
