We had the pleasure of interviewing St. Lucia over Zoom video!

Led by husband-and-wife duo South Africa-born Jean-Philip Grobler and Germany-born Patti Beranek, St. Lucia retreat from a fractured world on fire and into the glow of a rapturous synth-spiked electro-pop catharsis\u2014like a dance party at the edge of existence. Now signed to Nettwerk Records, the group beams out a light of their own and shines brighter than ever. \u201cIn a way, this is my personal rebellion against the darkness of the world,\u201d states Jean-Philip. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to feel depressed these days, so I\u2019m trying to bring something joyous to the world. I was sick of seeing shit on the Internet, and I just wanted to feel good. That\u2019s what being human is about. We have to feel alive, despite whatever the fuck is going on.\u201d

St. Lucia has always stirred these kinds of emotions. It started with When The Night, which boasted fan favorites like \u201cElevate,\u201d \u201cAll Eyes On You,\u201d and \u201cCloser Than This,\u201d entered the Billboard Top 200 and hit #6 on Billboard\u2019s Heatseekers Album chart. Its follow-up Matter, yielded the hit \u201cDancing On Glass,\u201d while the band collaborated with artists ranging from Jack Antonoff to RAC. Two years later, Hyperion represented a creative and critical high watermark with praise from Billboard, who hailed the album as \u201cbuoyant,\u201d and PopMatters who raved, \u201cit feels revelatory.\u201d

\u201cWhen you listen to this, I hope you feel inspired and like life is worth living,\u201d Jean leaves off. Patti adds, \u201cit unleashes things, and I think we did a good job capturing that.\u201d
