THE STRANGERS

Description

The Strangers bring together Hervé Salters AKA General Elektriks and two exceptional rappers: Frenchman Leeroy (formerly of Saïan Supa Crew) and American Lateef The Truthspeaker (Blackalicious) in a new, landmark project. Evolving in the year 2222, "The Strangers" send us a testimony from the future in the form of hip hop with a strong funk influence, a timeless and playful sound where the languages of Shakespeare and Molière unite and clash to describe a world of tomorrow that no one in 2023 has yet heard of: by forcing the Earthlings of the future to travel from a young age, society abolishes the fear of the unknown. Lateef, Leeroy and General Elektriks have therefore chosen to set their narrative in the future to better discuss today's world. Environment, individual freedom, police violence, and communitarianism are all subjects that infuse the album. But the 3 Strangers inject a good dose of humor and energy into their music: the album is a futuristic sonic road movie, zig-zagging between athletic and poetic flows in soulful choruses, and darker downtempos. The sound developed is fluorescent and infectious; it speaks to the hips as much as to the head.
