Bloom is a group of three complicit female voices in dialogue with a minimalist rhythm section. Laurence Ilous, Mélina Tobiana and Léa Castro sing and unite their voices, supported by Arthur Henn on double bass and Ariel Tessier on drums. The voices, free to be as original as they like, dare to venture where they might not be expected. The musical universes of each intermingle to give birth to a music that is by turns exalted, rhythmic and pure. 

"Bloom seals the meeting of three particularly talented singers...virtuoso harmonies, soulful energy and the joy of being one three promise a jubilant concert" Louis-Julien Nicolaou - Télérama (T)
"One of the most sparkling records of the new season on the vocal jazz front" Jean-Charles Doukhan - TSF Jazz
"A lovely work with meticulous arrangements, where original compositions mingle with pieces by Sting, Vinicius de Moraes or Abbey Lincoln, the variety of genres not preventing unity of style" Philippe Vincent - Jazz Magazine
