        Folamour

        After more than 130 dates around the world in 2019, a Boiler Room which elevated
        him as one of the most promising artists of the new generation, Folamour has
        become in a few months the spearhead of a solar and dancing music that aects the whole planet.

        The experience and musical sensitivity of Folamour are plural and successful. After
        playing drums, bass, guitar and percussion, he worked with the Opéra national de
        Lyon and collaborated on projects ranging from pop to jazz. Therefore, his pieces are
        always marked by a rich musicality, imbued with romanticism, poetry and emotions.
        Folamour is inspired by the values of classical music, funk and disco, but brings it its
        own special touch.After several EPs, he decided in 2017 to oer his rst album,
        imagined and composed around the notion of balance, “umami”. A rst opus that will
        have a resounding eect and will denitely place him among the artists to follow. He
        returns in 2019 with a second album «Ordinary Drugs», a new concept album, written
        like a story of which each song would be a chapter making us travel in his universe.

        Two years later Folamour released his last album, The Journey. The autobiographical
        account of the last two years of Folamour, spent between airports and stages, London,
        France and the rest of the world, between crowds and loneliness, between ups and
        downs.An album composed between metropolises and no man’s land, inspired by
        signicant moments that greatly surprised and touched the artist. To express all these
        emotions, Folamour put aside samples and computers to focus on writing texts,
        recording strings and brass, drums, voices in order to be closer to the moment. No
        format or genre limits, total freedom to choose the right tool for the painting.This
        album is the sum of chance and encounters, an initiatory rite, both in form and
        content, the tale of a life with all that it may contain of joys and trials, both in its
        writing and its production than in its message.«The Journey» mixes contemporary
        sadness, isolation of the artists, but also wonder of the simple pleasures of life and the
        discoveries it brings with it, it is neither a joyous story, nor a -sad and disillusioned
        tale, it is the sum of all that and the rest too.
