Stup Forever

Description

With muscles taut under his mask, Stupeflip is back in business. The evidence is once again carried by King-Ju (a.k.a JulienBarthélémy), standing on what remains of a France and a world in tatters: Stup will never die, do you hear? Stup Forever is also the title of this fifth album, which reminds us of the millennial power of this project, proudly carried with red eyes since 2000 by a man whose exceptional nature, in the truest sense of the word, can never be overstated. Close to being one of his most interesting, this latest album contains everything that has made Stup’s salt, in no particular order: determination, melody, wit, humor, cherry wood beats, a dreamlike universe, and above all, the desire to continue sticking his pointed foot up the asses of those who ruin our existence, on both small and large scales (idiotic bosses, atrocious neighbors, shitty family, imbeciles we meet in the supermarket queue, dodgy friends, lost charlatans, fucked-up presidents). With the virtuosity of one of his idols, the great American indie filmmaker John Carpenter, King-Ju stages in his music this crazy, derailing world with his characteristic freshness, summoning, with always warlike lyrics, the influences he masters better than anyone: 90s rap, rock that doesn't shy away from the guitar, and a certain idea of tangy pop. It's beautiful, it's new: it's Stup Forever!" A sharp new album " --- LES INROCKUPTIBLES ---." We find everything we love about Stupeflip " --- France INTER ---." A shot fired at the wounded body of a moribund era. " --- JACK, CANAL+ ---." If progress doesn't stop, neither does Stupeflip " --- TSUGI ---.
