Swiss Queer Shamanic Pop Artist Mané Unveils Transformative New Album ‘The Goddess in the Room’



A powerful celebration of self-reclamation, queer identity, feminine rage, healing, and empowerment through the immersive world of shamanic pop.


Swiss queer singer-songwriter Mané announces the release of her highly anticipated second project, The Goddess in the Room, arriving June 2, 2026, via Livana Music. Blending haunting electronic pop with ritualistic shamanic elements, the nine-track album invites listeners on a transformative journey of self-discovery, healing, and radical empowerment.


Following years of artistic evolution, personal transformation, and a growing reputation as one of Switzerland’s most distinctive emerging voices, Mané has crafted an album that feels both deeply intimate and universally resonant. Drawing inspiration from artists such as AURORA, Eivør, Billie Eilish, Kiki Rockwell, and Roniit, The Goddess in the Room introduces a sound she defines as “shamanic pop”—a genre where atmospheric electronic production meets ancestral rhythms, intuitive songwriting, and the grounding pulse of the shamanic drum.


“At its heart, this album is about remembering who we are beneath the conditioning, the fear, and the expectations placed upon us,” says Mané. “It’s about reclaiming our bodies, our voices, our intuition, our identities, and our power. The Goddess is not someone we need to become—she is someone we have always been.”


Across nine powerful tracks, The Goddess in the Room follows the symbolic journey of The Goddess as she awakens to her own strength. Along the way, she reclaims her body and her rights, embraces her queerness, confronts inherited trauma, honors her ancestors, and dismantles the systems that seek to silence her. Ultimately, she discovers that the validation and power she sought externally had been within her all along.


The album explores themes that have become central to Mané’s artistic identity, including bodily autonomy, feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, mental health, ancestral healing, spirituality, and self-acceptance. It balances moments of fierce resistance with celebration, sensuality, vulnerability, and joy.


While Mané first emerged through a more conventional pop sound, several periods of burnout prompted a profound reassessment of her relationship with music and mental health. During this time, she discovered the shamanic drum, an instrument that would fundamentally reshape her creative process and artistic vision.


The result is a sonic universe where emotionally charged vocals intertwine with atmospheric synths, ritualistic percussion, and intuitive soundscapes. Each release within the project extends beyond music alone, becoming part of a larger immersive world of visuals, symbolism, ceremony, and community-centered experiences.


“Everything I create is designed to help people reconnect with what feels sacred within themselves,” Mané explains. “I want listeners to feel seen, heard, loved, and empowered—to celebrate their uniqueness, trust their intuition, and remember their own inner wisdom.”


Since 2014, Mané has performed extensively throughout Switzerland and internationally, appearing at renowned venues and festivals including Montreux Jazz Festival, Southbank Centre (London), Hotel Café (Los Angeles), and Threshold Festival (Liverpool). She has shared stages across Europe during a tour with Marzella, with performances in Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam.


Her debut EP, Before the Storm, was fully crowdfunded by her audience and produced by Meya Music, whose credits include Slimane and Florent Pagny. The release received significant radio support across French-speaking Switzerland, earning airplay on Option Musique, LFM, One FM, Rhône FM, and Radio Swiss Pop. It also secured Mané a place among the Top 15 finalists of the prestigious Demotape Clinic at m4music.


Additional career milestones include serving as the lead voice of Coop Switzerland’s nationwide Christmas campaign, being shortlisted among finalists for Switzerland’s Eurovision Song Contest selection, releasing the mental health-focused single High On Flowers, launching a companion podcast supporting womxn artists, and performing once again at Montreux Jazz Festival in 2024.


In 2025, Mané signed with Zurich-based label Livana Music and was selected for Proxima, the artist development program at Les Docks.


To celebrate the release of The Goddess in the Room, Mané will perform special launch concerts at:

June 3, 2026 — Les Docks, Lausanne, Switzerland

June 5, 2026 — The Waiting Room, London, United Kingdom


Performing alongside HEMU Lausanne graduates Gwen Buord (electronic drums) and Mathieu Nuzzo (keyboards), Mané’s live show combines electronic pop performance with ritualistic shamanic drum elements, creating an immersive experience that is both emotionally powerful and deeply personal.
