Turning Points - Groove Xanadu

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.
