Les Imprimés has just recently released their sophomore album, Fading Forward via Big Crown Records. The follow-up to Morten Martens’ critically acclaimed 2023 debut Rêverie, the album was written, performed, and produced almost entirely by the self-taught multi-instrumentalist who hails from Kristiansand, Norway.
Fading Forward builds on Martens’ soulful, genre-spanning foundation while delving deeper into themes of love, loss, and resilience.
Drawing from ’60s and ’70s soul, doo-wop songwriting, hip-hop–informed drum patterns, and the melodic sensibility of ’90s and 2000s alternative, Martens creates music that feels both classic and current. His greatest strength, however, lies in his emotional clarity—delivering songs with an immediacy that connects on first listen and continues to deepen over time.
Martens handles nearly every instrument on Fading Forward, overseeing production and arrangements while delivering understated, expressive vocals. “It’s soul music, but I don’t exactly have the soul voice,” he says. “I do it my own way.”
