Ade

Après un premier album solo « Et alors ? » certifié disque d’or et une tournée clôturée par un l’Olympia complet, Adé présente « INSIDE OUT MVMT ». Cet album aux accents pop-rock assumés trouve le parfait équilibre entre le brutalisme de « More Love » et l’efficacité pop de « Forts » ; morceau prometteur qui ne manquera pas d’arriver en tête des classements radios.
Réalisé par Yves Rothman (Yves Tumor, Girl in Red…) et enregistré avec ses musiciens de scène, l'album alterne entre influences club et douceurs acoustiques.

One of the most important parts of any record company is the A&R Department, which discovers new talent. For smaller labels, this is even more important as sometime, they can pick up some really talented artists early in their career, and nurture them. Often, new talented artists can be found in the most unlikeliest places. An example is Idrissa Sissoko, who Boddhi Satva discovered in Mali. Once Boddhi had heard just a few songs from Idrissa Sissoko, he signed him to Offering Recordings. Idrissa Sissoko then released his debut album Lopilopilo earlier this summer. Sometimes, an artist’s life takes a few twists and turns before they get the opportunity to even release an album. For Ade Alafia Adio, whose three-track sampler O.R.G.A.S.M. was recently released by Offering Recordings, his journey to becoming a singer, songwriter, musician and poet took a few twists and turns along the way.

Tutto ha inizio in una sera estiva del 1924, quando lo scimmiesco Jörg Brandt esce di casa senza dire niente a nessuno portando con sé due grosse valigie e un cuore pieno di formiche rosse. Al suo fianco Gebke Bauer, il «ragazzo dalle dodici dita», fraterno complice nella formidabile impresa dei Santi Mostri, una compagnia di artisti deformi destinata, nel ventennio successivo, a incantare i palcoscenici dell'intera Germania. L'uomo piovra, la donna dal doppio sorriso, l'acromegalico gigante Nikolaus, il giovane Polifemo, sono solo alcuni dei protagonisti che seguiranno Jörg e Gebke in un lungo viaggio fatto di trionfi, cadute, e incontri straordinari..

Music in Time of War, the new double-album from pianist Kirill Gerstein, places the music of Komitas, pioneer of ethnomusi- cology and founder of the Armenian national school of music, alongside that of Claude Debussy, a seminal composer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries who held a deep admiration of Komitas’s music. Both composers were profoundly affected by the implosion of their worlds – Komitas by the Armenian Genocide, Debussy by the First World War – and their music reflects a close emotional alignment. Music in Time of War grew from Gerstein’s fascination with music’s power to reflect a narrative. The project will be released as a double CD album and will be accompanied by a hardcover book containing a series of illustrations and detailed essays in three languages commissioned by the pianist.
