Aime Simone

Parisian singer-songwriter Aime Simone will be performing at the Alhambra to unveil his third album “REV”. Noted for his “post pop” style, he blends emotional depth, pop melodies, and trap rhythms with experimental electronic sounds. “REV” delves into themes of revolution, revenge, revelation, and the fluidity of identity, drawing listeners into introspection through the allegory of an “underworld” where the boundaries between light and darkness, good and evil, reality and illusion become blurred.
