Célia Kameni, chanteuse de jazz reconnue et lauréate aux Victoires du Jazz 2025, explore de nouvelles directions artistiques avec Méduse. Sa voix profonde et texturée dialogue avec le piano préparé de Thibault Gomez, le violoncelle obsédant de Juliette Serrad, la guitare expérimentale de Giani Caserrotto et la batterie de Julien Loutelier, créant un univers sonore innovant et difficile à classifier.Évoquant autant Nina Simone, Björk ou Nick Drake que des artistes contemporains comme Moses Sumney ou Arooj Aftab, Méduse transforme la voix en canal d’émotions viscérales. Plus qu’un simple album, le projet est une exploration sensible et immersive de l’expérience humaine, où authenticité et vulnérabilité se conjuguent pour créer un voyage émotionnel unique.
