"The Persistence Of Memory": release on November 5

13 Sep 2021

Richard has officially announced the fourth Emigrate album: "The Persistence Of Memory" will be released on November 5, 2021, with pre-orders opening on September 24.

The record will feature 9 tracks, that were written over the past 20 years. These songs were written at a certain point in my life, says Richard, but ideas don't have an expiration date. Reworked and modernized, the songs now shine with a current and contemporary splendor. I hope you get to know me better after listening to it.

For the anecdote, the name "The Persistence of Memory" is inspired by the famous painting of Dali (better known to the general public under the name of "The Soft Watches").

New single "Freeze My Mind" this Friday!

24 Aug 2021

Richard has just announced the release of the first single from Emigrate's fourth album! Freeze My Mind will be available this Friday 27 August!

A first snippet of the video has been published on social networks:


Freeze My Mind dates back to the composition of the first album, as our article from 2006 (in French) attests. The verse Life here is vanishing was recorded at GEMA. The song has probably evolved since then.
