After the success of his previous works, but also thanks to the impact of the album Ici Bas, which he wrote and produced for his father, followed by Tribute to Calvin Russell, a magnificent homage to his mentor, the guitarist-singer returns today with an album that is personal, powerful, and impactful. Recorded between Paris, Nashville, Montreal, Fort Lauderdale, and Sheffield, Man on a Mission is the album of a traveler who says he wanted to get as close as possible to all the influences that have shaped his music since his adolescence. Blues, always. But touching on rock and soul, and even pop, this album masterfully exploits all facets of his talent, revealing an inspired melodist and an unparalleled producer. We discover or rediscover with delight the full splendor of his warm, powerful, and gravelly voice, often compared to those of Howlin' Wolf or B.B King, which unfolds with moving expressiveness over always-haunting melodies. "Man on a mission is an inner journey, but it is also and above all a stroll through time where I tried to revive the invisible, all those great artists who helped me to be who I am," says Manu Lanvin.
