Ok Lion! (BE)
Electro Pop / Electro Rock

OK Lion ! est un duo electro-rock belge composé de Janaina Costa (chant) et Stéphane Devillers (claviers). Fondé en tout début de confinement, ils ont profité de cette période trouble pour écrire et composer les premiers morceaux d'un album où la part belle est réservée aux mélodies. La musique de Ok Lion ! propose un voyage aux sons tantôt modernes, tantôt inspirés par l'électro froide et mécanique des années 80. Une expérience dans laquelle le rock se mêle a des nappes de synthés, le tout accompagné par des riffs de guitare sombres, lumineusement contrastés par la voix de Janaina. Le duo est accompagné sur scène par Pierre Bertens à la batterie et Jeff Bachely à la guitare. Ensemble, ils donnent un côté énergique, organique et sensuel à leur musique.
Ok Lion ! a sortit son 1er album « 120 Ways To Get Away » le 12 mars 2022. Un album autoproduit, qui bénéficie également de la participation de Patrick Codenys de Front 242, qui a mixé 2 titres. Il est disponible sur Bandcamp et sur les plateformes de streaming,
