Every artist has a distinct style, but few can say they have multiple. Igorrr is one of them.

Igorrr is a french musician who blends together electronic/dubstep music, classical/opera style singing and instrumentals, screamo vocals, and heavy metal rocking. Though each of Igorrr's songs has roots in at least one genre, crossing between two or three is common. Opera style singing can easily turn into screamo belting in one of his songs. Likewise, a gentle violin can explode into a chorus of fierce guitaring within a matter of seconds.

Igorr's music is complete madness to some people, but to me, it is emotion-provoking artwork. Passion acts as thread that stitches together each piece of musical phenomenon. Igorrr is a revolutionary artist who ties together hundred-year-old music and modern, electronic sounds to form what I believe is the work of a genius.

Don't believe me? Check for yourself! Below are several of Igorrr's songs and a brief description of what each contain. Though his music isn't for everyone, it is more than likely unlike anything you have ever heard, and is well worth discovering.

"Infinity Loop" - this song starts off as if it is a classical piece, but turns into a heavy metal song midway through before adding in operatic vocals and snippits of dubstep.

"Corpus Tristis" - classical music and electronic sounds could not be blended better in this off-tempo tune.

"Tout Petit Moineau" - soft piano music, gentle female vocals, death metal rocking, emotional screaming, and more cause this song to be one of many twists and turns.

"Absolute Psalm" - this has got to be one of the most bizarre, intriguing, and diverse songs imaginable. This song will take you on a musical journey through its many minutes of odd - yet enjoyable - sounds and genres.

Happy listening!

Author's Note: All of Igorrr's music can be found on grooveshark.com, youtube.com, last.fm.com, and spotify as well as on other music sites. His music can be purchased on amazon and iTunes.
