Multilingual singer-songwriter Irène Schrader unveils her highly anticipated trilingual EP ECLIPSE, an introspective body of work that transcends borders, languages, and sonic boundaries. Blending English, French, and Mandarin, Schrader invites listeners into her universe, a luminous and melancholic space where love, change, and identity orbit one another.
Created during a period of transition in her early twenties, ECLIPSE captures the disorienting beauty of a nomadic life shaped by travel, studies, and shifting relationships in a post-pandemic world. Through space-themed metaphors and emotional depth, Irène reflects on the universal challenge of staying grounded amid uncertainty.
“ECLIPSE is about movement—geographically, emotionally, and spiritually. I wanted to explore how we navigate love and identity when everything around us feels in flux,”
shares Schrader.
