Le Soleil de Midi

Description

Le Soleil de Midi is Toan’s third album. Produced by Vincha and carried by a finely crafted pen, this rap album - at the crossroads of Akhenaton and Gaël Faye - is as minimalist in form as it is profound in its message. Warm, vibrant sonic textures, a blend of samples and organic sounds, Toan’s new tracks are above all those of a man of connection who observes, questions, and bears witness to the world around him - with lucidity, intensity, and poetry. A psychologist working with refugees by day and a rapper the rest of the time, Toan speaks about what he knows, his life, the social struggles he fights every day (Travailleur social) but also fatherhood (Flottille de la liberté), contemplation, childhood memories (Vendanges à la main), wavering love (Amour cosmique), and the constant need to reinvent oneself (Soleil de midi). Le Soleil de Midi also breathes the light of the south from which Toan comes, human warmth, and encounters, notably with the presence of his sister Olivia Ruiz and Bassitey, a Burkinabé artist. Le Soleil de Midi is the soundtrack to a life whose second half begins today.
