Our Take

MADE TO BREAK's latest offering, Cherchez La Femme, is a rollercoaster ride of genre-blending madness that is sure to leave both your ears and your brain thoroughly scrambled.

From the opening track, "Breakout Queen," to the haunting closer, "Femme Fatale," this album takes you on a whirlwind journey through electronic dance beats, jazzy saxophone solos, and chaotic punk rock riffs. It's like being trapped in a kaleidoscope of sound, constantly shifting and changing before your very ears.

Lead singer, Fifi LaRoux, is a force to be reckoned with, her sultry vocals weaving effortlessly between the cacophony of instruments. She's like a siren, luring you deeper and deeper into the sonic abyss with each haunting note.

The band's experimental approach to music-making is both refreshing and exhilarating, breaking down boundaries and defying expectations at every turn. Cherchez La Femme is not for the faint of heart - it's a wild ride that demands your full attention and commitment.

So, strap in, dear reader, and prepare yourself for a musical journey unlike any other. MADE TO BREAK may have just unleashed their masterpiece upon the world, and you won't want to miss a single second of it. Cherchez La Femme is a triumph of creativity and boldness, a true testament to the power of artistic expression in all its wild and unpredictable glory.
