| 4.4 superb | Erwann S. EMERITUS | March 19th 20 |
New cool kid in French hip hop dropping his first album. Very cool even though there are several problems imo: the autotune does not always work (sometimes I can't get what he's saying), his influence are REALLY evident (this female robot voice immediately reminded me of Nepal, and ye I think he likes Booba, Kanye and Travis Scott). He's got style though, and the beats are cold, mechanical, modern and perfectly match the album's concept. Digging the lyrics, it seems like he wanted to create an audio movie to further explore his anxieties and fears. He gave himself the means of his ambition by working A LOT on the storytelling: one can truly feel and hear the evolution of this young man trapped under the belly of this horrible machine. In the end, Trinity, the software he has been using throughout all the story, tells him the cold dark truth: it's an emotion simulation software. While that might sound daunting, as none the adventures he lived were real, it is in fact liberating for Laylow: he found what he wanted, the ultimate emotion: pain. To evoke such an emotion with musicality, experimentation (yeah yeah it does not sound like your regular 2020 french rap record) and cohesion establishes Trinity as one of the best modern record of its genre. Extremely good surprise, and while I don't adhere to every choice done here, I didn't expect such a driven and personal concept record.
