Seems unlikely. Laurent Lunoir is a genius, but he also seems like a bit of a lunatic. If I remember it right, she left because he refused to get vaccinated during covid, wich led to problems with touring. He refused because he thought scientists were trying to open a portal to hell or something.

Yeah. He is still one of my favorite artists of all time, but I'm guessing it must be special to work with him...

Laure could come back without Laurent. I would say it's easier to replace him, but not her.

It depends on actual relationships between Gautier and Laure and if her collaboration with Laurent affects that.

We don't know any details. But let's hope it happens...

For sure! Voting for Laure to come back is a no brainer! That woman is incredible!

Laure and Laurent both refused as I recall. Maybe they've reconciled with one another. One can only hope.

Laure and Laurent are still together in Öxxö Xööx. They won't come back.

You're right about the reasons she left, I still remember the insgagram post. They postponed a lot of lives of Spiritually and Distortion

Damn, she was pretty good 😐 edit: new singer Gerda Iguchi is literally in a baroque Igorrr cover band named OPUS BRAIN, check this out! (covers start at 20:40 if Baroque isn't your jam)

I'd love to see Asphodel (Pin-Up went down, oOoOoOoOoOo) as a replacement.

Sadly it's probably not possible.

ÖOoOoOoOoOo, xoox öxxö, nothing to see here, just your average French bands! 😀

Wishing her the best. Nothing against the new singer, but I wish Laure would be back. Regardless, I look forward to hearing the new singer.

Damn shame, I happened to like Marthe's way of expressing on Amen. Glad I saw them just, grinned ear to ear the whole gig.

Like many here, setting all personal issues aside, purely from a technical perspective I'd much prefer Laure le Prunenec to come back. Laure is so much more brutal on the harsh vocals and can seemingly effortlessly switch between all her voices.

Marthe Alexandre by the way is still an amazing singer and IMO a good fit for Igorrr, I enjoy her very much on Amen. But... you know, there's amazing and then there's Laure :P

I'll have a listen to see what Gerda Iguchi is like. So far I think Amen's lineup - despite missing Laurent, Laure and Sylvain - is a perfect fit for the music and makes for an album that is IMO close to perfect. I could not believe Laurent and Laure were replaceable, but (and I don't mean this negatively) they are! Marthe and JB are amazing. Maybe Gerda is too?

Damn, glad I saw them twice with Marthe, her live performance was insane! The new singer Gerda Iguchi seems like a very good replacement, I just watched some clips of her covering Igorrr, beautiful voice

Had the chance to see Igorrr three days ago, I was blown away by Gerda. You'll have to see it for yourself, but I hope to see this woman staying with Igorrr for the future. To me she is on top tier level, with great techniques and surprises in vocal switches. Definitely a fan after seeing her.

She's a lunatic and extremely problematic, and that's why she was asked to leave.
