Flore Benguigui & The Sensible Notes - i-330 (LP)
Flore Benguigui & The Sensible Notes’ debut album i-330 is a jazz-pop record from 2026, released via Decca Records France. The former singer of L’Impératrice returns to the jazz that shaped her, with a gentle yet disarming voice that blends acoustic instruments with sparkling synthesizers. The album explores major eras of jazz and French pop, from Nat King Cole to Barbara, mixing timeless standards with forgotten gems. Named after the rebellious woman I-330 from Yevgeny Zamyatin’s dystopian novel We, it functions as a retrofuturistic machine that scrambles time, with influences from jazz and soul divas such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Dionne Warwick, along with echoes of Chet Baker and Benny Goodman.
Recorded live at Studio Pigalle, i-330 breathes spontaneity, warmth, and shared joy, carried by a predominantly female collective called The Sensible Notes—a nod to the major seventh in jazz, which creates tension and calls for resolution. Flore herself plays organ, dulcitone, and Mellotron, emphasizing the democratic, joyful side of jazz: not cerebral or elitist, but made with joy and kindness. Produced by Nicky Green and mixed by Jennifer Gros, it stands as a feminist manifesto of artistic emancipation, full of melodic emotion and groovy poetry that invites listeners into an intimate retreat.
