At a time when neo soul is booming with innovations, guitarist and songwriter Alex Scheuerer releases his second album featuring singer Najwa Ezzaher (The Voice). La Vie en Soul, a cover album, pays tribute to French classics by revisiting them with touches of Neo Soul. Franco-Swiss musician Alex Scheuerer was strongly influenced by French chanson, whose poetry and evocative words he particularly appreciates. From Aznavour to Gainsbourg, Johnny and Françoise Hardy, he revisits 10 timeless titles, mixing them with the music he discovered in London: Neo Soul Jazz.

Alex onstage during a show at Toulouse Lautrec Venue, London, on Friday 29th September 2023. The band welcomed new musicians: Filippo Galli (Drums), Freddie Gavita (Trumpet), and Jack Williams (Piano, Keyboard).

"Mixing jazz, soul and fusion, ‘La Vie En Soul’ sets the pulses racing with creativity, style and energy. With the excitement that the band generated and a spirited audience, this was more like a rock concert than a jazz event. Musicalement magnifique!" — Ron Milson Photography

He also performed the album at Pizza Express Soho on July 10, 2023. In 2022, the band played on March 9 at the famous jazz club The Spice of Life in trendy Soho and in Paris on May 5th at The Sunset.

Inspired by artists like jazz pianist Robert Glasper, who took similar steps for his album Black Radio, or Australian band Hiatus Kaiyote, Alex favored an ensemble of 7 musicians and recorded the album in the prestigious Eastcote studio, where artists like Adèle, Tom Jones, James Arthur, Gossip, or Seal have also recorded. Revealed to the public in The Voice and Nouvelle Star, Najwa Ezzaher masterfully interprets these songs with subtlety and gentleness.
