Shanti Celeste, known for her uncomplicated yet sophisticated approach to dance music, eschews grandiose concepts in favor of a more relatable experience. Her debut album, 'Tangerine,' reflects a personal affinity for fruit, while its sound encapsulates a blend of classic US house with the quickened euphoria of techno. After a break in her career, her new album 'Romance' continues this theme of straightforwardness, revealing that Celeste's success is rooted in her authentic love for making music rather than in elaborate narratives.
Her acclaimed 2019 debut album was called Tangerine, a title she chose because she really like[s] fruit.
Celeste's music melds the subtlety of classic US house with giddy rhythms common to techno, resulting in her own signature âfast houseâ sound.
Her career flourished after she quit university, irked by tutors asking her what her work meant: 'I wouldn't be able to explain it.'
Whether you view all this as a failure of imagination or an admirably unpretentious approach, it hasnât impeded Celeste's progress.
