Desert Dream

Description

After a debut album on the legendary Blue Note label, Tiwayo returns in 2023 with a top-notch folk/soul album! How do you follow up a debut album released on the Blue Note label, produced by Mark Neill, known for his work on The Black Keys' records? This is likely the question Tiwayo, a thirty-something Parisian fan of American Black music, asked himself. The answer: "Desert Dream," a less-produced, less gospel-blues, more fragile, more stripped-down album. A timeless and essential album, like those that occasionally emerge, defying all current trends, from Tracy Chapman to Sufjan Stevens, Wilco, Bon Iver, Ben Harper… One can hear the echo of the silence of the vast American arid landscapes. This soul of America, contained in its endless, dusty, solitary roads that lead straight towards the hope of a more serene tomorrow. Tiwayo traces this path as a lonesome, multi-instrumentalist cowboy, documenting his journey with his veiled voice in ten songs that are impossible not to fall for.
