Cosmic Romance proudly presents Amour Propre, the new album by Berlin-based multinational band Stella and The Longos and 5 release on the label.

Following the acclaimed 2022 release Détends-Toi, the first electrifying collaboration between lead singer Stella Zekri and producer Ed Longo, Amour Propre crowns two years of relentless touring, growth, and evolution. On the road, the duo forged a powerful live ensemble of Berlin’s finest musicians. That synergy now explodes onto record, expanding Stella and The Longos’ sound into something more organic, daring, and deeply alive.

On Amour Propre, Stella’s sultry, magnetic voice weaves through lush layers of live drums and percussion, funky guitar riffs, shimmering keyboards, intricate brass lines, and the unmistakable hi-fi production flair of Ed Longo. The rhythms oscillate in a melting pot of musical styles, where Afro-Caribbean influences overlap with vintage boogie beats and quelching synths flirt with smoky Parisian midnight moods. Stella’s voice remains the heart of it all, sensual, husky, and brimming with raw emotion. Her lyrics explore love, longing, and reflection, while also capturing moments of dancefloor euphoria and universal connection.

With The Longos as her powerhouse backing band, every track radiates the energy of a live performance: intimate, enchanting, and unforgettable.
