Groove Xanadu released their eponymous debut album, showcasing the group's signature sound live on Turning Points. In this episode of Turning Points, Patricia Killeen welcomed singer-songwriter Michael D. Amitin and vocalist Cerenia Capouix to the studio. In the winter of 2023–2024, Michael, an American expat in Paris, began exploring new musical ideas with fresh collaborators. Serendipity played its part, bringing together a talented lineup: keyboardist Paul Sany, guitarist Guillaume Perrin, bassist Emmanuel Sunnee, and drummer Baptist Castets. Their country-blues foundation soon evolved into a rich, multicultural blend of jazz, funk, and soul. A magical, distinctive vocal harmony melded between Michael and Cerenia, and Cerenia's shining, "angel like"; vocals soon took the lead on several tracks. With good vibes and creative chemistry, Groove Xanadu recorded their debut at QDS Studio with engineer Michael Buyens, and then overdubs ensued at Submarine Studios with Isaackito. The result: Groove Xanadu, the eponymous first album by the newly formed group. The album premiered on Turning Points, with Michael and Cerenia performing two tracks live ‘Her Mother Drank Black Coffee’, and ‘Food for the Angels’ to the pure delight of Patricia and Aliosha in the studio. The group is now gearing up for the album release party at the Sunset Club on September 30 with more events on the horizon.
