Leila Duclos

With her new album *À l'Amour et au Diable*, Leïla Duclos delivers a blazing second record, driven by a vision of jazz that is free, contemporary, and deeply soulful. Following *Fille du feu*—a debut acclaimed for the virtuosity of her scat singing and the intensity of her artistic world—the singer, guitarist, and composer here pursues an even more intimate quest: exploring the voice as an all-encompassing instrument, a space for dialogue, tension, and surrender. It is a powerful statement that brilliantly asserts the unique character of a bold and vibrant female-led jazz
