Fiji's music mixes energetic beats with a deep dark lyricism. It's like a spine-tingling amalgam of the shadowy sensuousness of Grace Jones or Goldfrapp and the proto-new wave spunk of Blondie. The duo, and couple in life, is made up of singer/songwriter Simone De Lorenzi, a self-styled multilingual vamp half way between Iggy Pop and Amanda Lear and Simon Schüttel, the composer and producer of FIJI. "Exquisite noir electronic sound" Bill Bruce, Electronic Sound Magazine. "The name Fiji, a Bern based electro-pop outfit is an unexpected delight: catchy synth riffs, warm then glacial textures complexifying; a generous sense of play coupled with a haunting sense of drama. Downright sensual. Whiffs of Blondie, Les Rita Mitsouko, Goldfrapp hover-- but always culminating in a musical bouquet all their own." Helvetica Bold , New York. “Feels very cinematic to me […] I find the textures haunting and detailed, like wandering around an abandoned synth cathedral. For some reason, I always think of the Belgian designers when I play Fiji: Demeulemeester, Ackermann, Sanders. There’s a bit of a hat trick with doing working very intricate themes, but making them appear spare and minimal - with surprise lushness always to be discovered”. Onome Ekeh
