IF EVERYTHING IS WRITTEN (vinyl)

Description

Ludovic Louis returns in early 2024 with a second album, 'If Everything Is Written'. Time passes and nourishes. The time when we find ourselves, the time we enjoy. The time of these notes placed on scores like an allegory of Ludovic's already beautiful and full life. After 'Rebirth' with soul, jazz, funk and Caribbean influences, Ludovic continues his blend of cultures to give this new album a world color, transcending the instrumentalism of a jazz record with Afro-rock or Afro-beat sounds on 'Never Give Up' or 'Waves' for example. This openness is also found in the festive universe Ludovic wants to take us to. For this, he lends his voice to accompany certain tracks such as 'If you Want Me' or 'Give me some loving', or more laid-back ballads like 'If everything is written' interpreted by Gail Ann Dorsey, friend of the trumpeter and bassist of David Bowie or Matthieu Chedid. The voice to communicate, and to create cohesion with those who listen and understand him. An 'entertainment' to encourage joining him in his quest for a beautiful life, for those who wish to see it. 'If Everything Is Written' is definitively positive; marked by the nostalgia of the first tracks ('Sunrise'), it thrives on the movement of life and its happy prospects. As much as possible, we can all improve our story and make it beautiful. This story is Ludovic's. 'Life events shape us, and we can find positive even in something negative... and for that, time is our best ally.' An assertive, festive album, built over the years ('Le temps', 'Look Back', 'Love is a Beautiful thing') as a link between past, present, and future. Illustrated by the track in which Rossy De Palma suspends 'Le temps' and offers us her voice for a poem in French. Ludovic Louis brings us to celebration and encounters in this personal album of raw emotions. The time of a journey back to our sources, our roots, family, friends, simple and fundamental things.
