Le crooner Kenny Sharp nous propose un nouveau single, The louvre

Tu es une magnifique œuvre d’art

Un peu d’amour, un peu de love dans nos oreilles pour changer des pépites rock que je vous délivre à longueur de journée. Kenny Sharp, auteur, compositeur, interprète, excusez du peu, file la parabole sur une mélodie langoureuse pour expliquer à qui veut l’entendre que la femme qu’il aime est plus belle que toutes les œuvres du Louvre réunies.

La mélodie est douce, j’adore les chœurs. C’est une magnifique chanson d’amour à la Durand Jones and the indications. Bon alors, par contre, je ne suis pas fan du tout de sa chemisette dans le clip mais on peut pas tout faire parfaitement.

C’est donc son dernier single en date et si j’ai bien suivi, le reste devrait suivre bientot.

Aujourd’hui, nous avons sélectionné pour vous un titre de l’artiste né à Montgomery, en Alabama,et basé à Washington DC, Kenny Sharp, « The Louvre », sorti le 18 août 2023.

Kenny Sharp est un auteur-compositeur-interprète connu pour un son émouvant qu’il appelle Brown Liquor Music.

Poussées par une prestation puissante et brute combinée à un lyrisme poétique et à une narration, les passions de Kenny révèlent une vieille âme qui dément l’apparence fraîche des chanteurs.
Ancien rappeur, Kenny s’est progressivement tourné vers le chant au cours des dernières années et a émergé avec un son qui lui est propre.

Attendez-vous à entendre des éléments de Soul, Blues, Americana, Hip-Hop, Pop et Rock, tissés ensemble par une capacité sans effort à raconter des histoires et à livrer une performance vocale puissante.

« The Louvre » est une odyssée fantaisiste à travers le terrain artistique de l’amour, où le blues/rock indie rencontre la pop dans un mélange harmonieux.
S’inspirant des Black Keys, c’est un hommage musical à l’attrait intemporel de l’amour et à son pouvoir de stimuler la créativité.
La voix de Sharp, riche en émotion, et ses paroles poignantes dressent un tableau vivant d’un amour de jeunesse, rempli d’espièglerie et d’une soif inextinguible de passion.
Les accroches contagieuses et le grain organique du morceau lui confèrent une texture qui résonne, laissant une marque indélébile sur l’auditeur.
Tout comme l’art emblématique auquel il fait référence, « Le Louvre » témoigne de la beauté durable de l’amour et du talent artistique qu’il peut inspirer.
Ce n’est pas seulement une chanson ; c’est un sentiment, un moment capturé dans la mélodie, un morceau de l’âme de Sharp mis à nu pour que tous puissent l’entendre.

Si certains américains ne savent même pas où se trouve Paris (la plupart pensent à Pais au Texas…), Kenny lui, connait même le Louvre, et il s’en sert admirablement dans sa chanson; on l’en remercie chaleureusement.

A écouter sur nos playlists !

You can't help but be instantly entranced by the slick, soulful groove of Kenny Sharp's new single 'The Louvre'. He describes his sound as 'brown liquor music' and this rich, smooth feel is as wonderful as ever on this latest release. Opening with a gentle, guitar line, setting up the soothing groove, the drums kick in providing that crunchy punch that drives this track along. These drums are hugely important, leading with a Jazz swing but delivered with the hard hit of a Hip-Hop beat to create an infectious rhythm.

You are then blessed by Kenny's super smooth vocal melodies that capture all the romance and beauty of the lyrical sentiments and delivery wonderfully charming harmonies throughout. The backing vocals bring a brightness while the occasional guitar line adds even more soulful swagger into the mix.

 

The best moments come when the big instrumentation drops out momentarily leaving you with just the delicate piano and Kenny's voice, centring your focus on the beauty of his sick melody before diving back into the big band sound that is full of a swooping, romantic drama. This is one of those tracks you just don't get bored of and it is one of the best love songs of the year!

From capturing the attention of former President Barak Obama, who listened to Kenny Sharp’s hit track “Witchoo” as one of his favourite tracks, to being signed by Prescription Songs, Kenny Sharp is back with his latest single “The Louvre“.

Beginning as a singer/songwriter, whose music has been inspired by Blues, Pop, American Hi-Hop and Soul; the richness in blended genres which have influenced Kenny’s music has now been dubbed “Brown Liquor Music.”

Although he was born in Montgomery, Alabama, Kenny began first recording music of unforgettable melodies alongside songwriting, with his friends in his newfound home of Washington DC. Kenny’s stepping stone moment was when we met Krunch-A-Delic who introduced Kenny to an artist named LunchMoney and through guidance was signed to Prescription Songs.

Ever since being signed Kenny has continued to build up an extensive fan base and a reputation for great music with Citizen Cope inviting him to to play multiple shows at NYC’s City Winery. Spotify also showcases Kenny’s ever-growing catalogue of songs such as “The Breeze” and “Nights Like This” being chosen on the “Blur Roots” playlists.

Kenny Sharp’s new release “The Louvre”, is where “indie, rock meets pop in a harmonious blend”. Youthful love, with inspiration from artists such as The Black Keys. Best describes the beauty of love and the feelings in which these feelings can inspire.

A variation of styles alongside a moment captured in a melody alongside infectious hooks through detailed songwriting and texture which resonates with playfulness and passion.

Pretty Moi caught our attention with their new single Richard Parker.  An exciting energetic arrangement combines an array of stylistic realms and blends them elegantly.  Flashes of vintage psychedelic soul collide with new melodic inclinations known to indie rock. 

The retro blues guitar flash recalls The Black Keys while the exotic appeal bears a semblance to Khruangbhin.  The rhythm design and flute arrangement pulls more from experimental soul psychedelia, harkening back to founders like Hendrix and the intense arrangements heard on Electric Ladyland.  It’s a comparison we don’t get to make often, and we assure you it lives up to the hype.  Dig in! 

Richard Parker is featured on our Best New Indie Playlist.  

We got tangled in the catchy call and response rhythm design of Papier-Mâché, the new single from Close Talker.  This indie rock infused pop recalls the infectious appeal known to Spoon and Phoenix.  It’s absolutely danceable within a new indie rock framework.  Like the Footloose style soundtrack of our lives Close Talker challenges you to resist their urban pump and cool kid attitude.  We can’t imagine staying in our seat when this one hits the setlist. 

These Canadian rockers have real buzz potential and a vintage rock aesthetic, pushing their sound through the States via DIY tours with old school intentions.  Papier-Mâché should add some more Internet discoveries to the mix, it’s simply a great record for Close Talker to hang their hat on.

Kenny Sharp is classic catchy with his new single The Louvre.  The vibe adapts the nostalgia known to Motown and vintage soul and updates it with new sonic reverence. It’s an edgier response to the works of Silk Sonic. It blends a dirtier modern influence into that design, recalling the expansive works of Leon Bridgers, Frank Ocean, and The Alabama Shakes.  For us Kenny Sharp is a sure thing for fans of those projects.  That offers Sharp a broad scope of influence, one that can attract fans from the both the mainstream and the underground. 

You can’t deny the magnetic flash heard in the singles infectious chorus. The Louvre is a hit.  We’ve never heard a trip to an iconic art museum sound so exotic, and it amplifies Sharp’s unique insight.  A trip to The Louvre is absolutely romantic.

 We were drawn into the imaginative design of Dreamy Eyes, the new single from Imaginary Tricks.  An array of sparkling chimes and soft synths dance around the atmosphere as an eruptive beat breaks you out of your trance.  That initial drop is both energizing and captivating, bolstered by the crisp punchy tonal presence of the both the bass and drums.  From there the intrigue and surprise never lags. 

Dreamy Eyes delivers from start to finish.  From the guitar work to the production, every contribution adds to the collective creative shine.  This is the evolution we hoped to hear out of the influence of projects like Tame Impala and Kevin Morby.  Imaginary Tricks offer a new musicality that blends traits of Afrobeat and fusion.  We can dig it.
