With just a couple of collaborations under her belt, Airé is already making waves. Not by chasing the spotlight, but by letting her voice speak for itself. Emotional, warm, and unmistakably her own, her vocals are both vulnerable and powerful, weaving seamlessly into the world of electronic music.
As she prepares for the release of “Sway”, a groovy organic house track in collaboration with Yves Eaux and Glorionix, we caught up with Airé to talk about her love for singing, her artistic roots, and what it means to create music that isn’t about love, but about feeling alive.
Yves Eaux & Glorionex – Sway Feta. Airé is out on Nov 14.
About Your Passion for Singing & Artistic Journey
Airé, can you take us back to the moment you realised singing was something you needed to do — not just wanted to?
Ever since I was little, I sang all day long and dreamed of becoming a pop star. As I grew older, it became clear that it was a moment of expression. No one needed to hear it, even if it was just me; it was like letting my emotions out.
You’ve already been featured on a couple of electronic music tracks. How did you first get involved in the scene?
My father owns Tanzgemeinschaft records and thought I should use my talents. He played a few of my covers to DJs he works with, and bingo!
Who or what inspires your vocal style? Are there certain artists, genres, or even non-musical influences that shape your voice?
I used to be a huge fan of Birdy. I sang her song “People Help the People” every day. One day, my mother brought me a London Grammar song, and I was instantly a fan. I loved her deep, melancholic voice and the emotion in both artists’ music. The more I sang and shared my music with others, the more people started comparing me to Billie Eilish.
Beyond music, you seem to have an artistic sensibility — how do you view yourself as an artist? Is it just about singing, or is there more you’d like to explore?
I enjoy being creative, both with my hands and my voice. Art is a form of expression, an outlet for emotions and thoughts. I use this art, including music, as an expression of who I am and what I feel or have felt.
About “Sway” and the Upcoming Release
Your next track, Sway, is a collaboration with Yves Eaux and Glorionix. What was it like working with them on this release?
I loved it! They’re incredibly talented people, and the communication was incredibly strong. Even though I’m busy finishing my studies alongside my music, they kept motivating me to foster the best possible collaboration.
What can listeners expect from Sway? Can you tell us a bit about the mood, the message, or how the track came together?
It’s a power song. It’s not about love, like most songs, but it lets you focus on the music itself. How you feel when you dance, how the music makes you feel. It makes you the main character.
I was sent a very raw track, and I put all my creative ideas on the table and sent them. When I heard their mastered version, my jaw dropped. We went from something incredibly cold to a very cosy, warm vibe.
Do you approach your vocals differently when singing over electronic music — especially a groovy organic house track like this?
I definitely adapt to the track I’m singing on. There are electronic tracks where my soft voice is a perfect fit, but others don’t. Sometimes I have to step out of my comfort zone and try different things, which worked out beautifully in this track.
Looking Ahead – Vision & Future Plans
You’re still early in your career, but already turning heads. Where do you hope to go next as an artist?
For me, music is an expression. My childhood dream of becoming a world-famous pop star has diminished considerably as I’ve gotten older. Of course, I want people to listen to my music, but for me, it’s all about the joy I get from it, the art that flows from it.
Are you interested in developing your own solo material in the future — or do you see yourself continuing to collaborate for now?
I learn a tremendous amount from the collaborations, which is very useful for future solo projects. I’m working on my own songs, but they usually remain in the archives. I definitely want to release my own songs in the future, but I’ll continue to use collaborations as a valuable learning opportunity.
If we check back in five years, what do you hope people will say about your voice, your music, or your presence in the scene?
I hope people like the music and can use it in their playlists for their specific moods. I hope they say it’s unique and that I can be a role model for them.
