ECHOS (vinyl)

Description

THE LEADER OF EIFFEL RETURNS WITH HIS 5TH SOLO ALBUM. Whether he moves forward solo or under the name Eiffel, Romain Humeau displays an unwavering passion. Not content with being a prolific musician and a talented lyricist, the artist is also incredibly endearing. A year and a bit after “Stupor Machine”, Eiffel’s sixth album, Romain Humeau (its leader) returns under his own name with a fifth album titled “Échos”. Songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer, the man has decided to leave very little time between the completion of one project and the birth of another. By blending several musical sources (soul, hip-hop, early music, punk, jazz, lyric-driven chanson, and electronica..) with the snotty lip of English rock, he always launches the work along a new axis. Romain does not take us for idiots; you can feel that he loves us. Truly. You can also feel the desire to make no more compromises. A kind of new beginning, a change if not planetary, at least intimate... Romain Humeau was born a free electron, on a day of celebration. Singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, producer, a new album constantly in the works, he never stops... A way of life. He also knows that the road has been and will be strewn with successes or failures, depending... That suits him. What matters most to him lies elsewhere: in what is to be done. Looking ahead with a sonic compass. Humeau is off the beaten track. Out of time.
