Musical releases of the week

Among all the new albums released this week, here are a few that caught our attention.

The Belgian Apashe, who lives in Montreal, is launching his second album this Saturday, Antagonist, at the MTelus. The producer, who fuses classical music and contemporary rhythms, has brought together talented artists from all walks of life on his 14 new compositions. Among others, we can hear Montrealer Geoffroy, EarthGang – on a piece co-produced by Laval’s High Klassified –, Rhita Nattah, Wasiu, LIA and Busta Rhymes, who also launched a new album on Friday.

Busta Rhymes confided the creation of his 11^e disc with three of the greatest hip-hop producers in history: Pharrell Williams, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz. There are also numerous guests at the microphone, while only 4 of the 19 songs are the work of Busta alone. These include Quavo, Young Thug, Coi Leray and Burna Boy. THE flow explosive and the sharp rhymes of the MC active since the end of the 1980s still remain at the center of the work.

Black Friday is also a special day for music lovers, as we celebrate Record Store Day on Black Friday. Several vinyl reissues were launched on this occasion, including the most popular Quebec hip-hop album of all time, The strength to understand, from Dubmatique, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Remember that the work of Disoul and OTMC produced by DJ Choice sold more than 150,000 copies.

The enigmatic jazz group C’mon Tigre, “a stateless UFO, whose matrix is ​​located somewhere in the center of the Mediterranean basin”, according to what we can read on the website of its agency Limitrophe Production, is back with its intoxicating fusion of jazz, funk and desert rock. The voice reminds us of Thom Yorke in his melodious contribution to the music. A little warmth for November.

Babylones, a duo composed of Charles Blondeau and Benoît Philie, offers a second album of 12 songs co-written with Stéphanie Boulay (one of the sisters). The atmosphere remains that of psychedelic pop-rock, but the lyrics are more varied and colorful, dealing as much with heartbreak as with alien abduction. Recorded in Montreal, Humans was able to benefit from the contribution of François Lafontaine, Gabrielle Shonk, Étienne Dupré, Eliott Durocher Bundock and Pierre Alexandre.
