STUBBORN HEART

England | LIVE

contact booking : Cyril

Il y a des moments, comme ça, où un artiste change de dimension. Déjà radical et libre lorsqu’il se faisait crooner pour les arabesques psychédéliques de Leila, Luca Santucci devient absolument irrésistible aux côtés de Ben Fitzgerald dans Stubborn Heart.

Taillé sur mesure pour des déjantés de leur trempe, ce premier album aussi érudit qu’étourdissant semble capable d’entraîner n’importe qui dans son sillage, de l’adepte des nappes voluptueuses de James Blake au fou furieux des rythmes abyssaux de The xx. Car c’est bien là, entre glissements rythmiques charnels et suggestions mélodiques rêveuses, que se joue cette soul-music fantomatique et pourtant hautement désirable (…) “Les Inrocks”.

There are times, when an artist dimension is about to changes. Already radical and free when he was crooned for the psychedelic arabesques of Leila, Luca Santucci becomes absolutely irresistible alongside Ben Fitzgerald in Stubborn Heart.
Tailor-made for crazies of their caliber, this debut album, as erudite as it is stunning, seems capable of dragging anyone in its wake, from the adept of the voluptuous tablecloths of James Blake to the madman of the abyssal rhythms of The xx . For it is indeed there, between carnal rhythmic shifts and dream melodic suggestions, that is played this ghostly and yet highly desirable soul-music (…) “Les Inrocks”
