L'Impératrice

L'Impératrice (French pronunciation: [lɛ̃peʁatʁis]; "The Empress") is a French pop and nu-disco band from Paris, formed in 2012. They are currently signed to French independent record label microqlima.

Originally founded by keyboardist and primary songwriter, Charles de Boisseguin as a solo project, the project expanded to its initial lineup consisting of keyboardist Hagni Gwon, bassist David Gaugué, guitarist Achille Trocellier and drummer Tom Daveau as an instrumental act, until the addition of lead vocalist, Flore Benguigui to the group in 2015, making her debut on the group's third EP, Odyssée, which significantly raised the group's profile internationally following its release.

To date, L'Impératrice have released three studio albums via microqlima, Matahari (2018), Tako Tsubo (2021) and their most recent, Pulsar released June 7, 2024.

A few months following the release of Pulsar, Benguigui announced she had left L'Impératrice, citing mental health and alleged mistreatment directed towards her by members of the group and their management throughout her time in the project, as the main reasons for the separation. French musical artist Louve was revealed as the group's new vocalist soon after Benguigui's departure.
