Saturday 17th with Mikael we went in Belgium for the Dour Festival (thanks again to JKim), Bilal was playing an hour around 7pm. It was pretty nice after that we hang out then Bilal, Tone, Mike, Steve and Corey did a little private session in a tinny tent of the festival for the radio or something, Mika took this great video (at the beginning Bilal is playing around saying in french before going to an interview “merde attend une minute” = “wait a fucking minute“) :


I’m so glad and proud and happy that Free Your Funk organized this show, Bilal + Sly Johnson for the opening. It was a beautiful night for me, as a big fan of his music. Bilal stayed around 2 hours on stage (with DOPE musicians and dope live arrangements!), played several new songs, the album will be out Sept 14th and you sure have to buy it, it will be a must-have !
The video was taken by Mikael Colombu. With this talented guy we went back to see Bilal at Dour, the show was only an hour because of the schedule but they did a little show for the radio of the festival or something like this, it was dope, 20 minutes (videos soon on by Mikael!) with the beautiful “Move on”, one of the new song of the album, a really dope one. We will keep you post with the videos and all from those beautiful 2 shows.

You may all know now that I love José James’s voice and music a lot and this song is the reason why I like him a lot as an artist, his voice, his vibe, his energy. I like him in Jazz and “blues” music better than on an album like Blackmagic (that was well done tho). I think it’s where his voice reveals its beauty the best. Jef Neve is a great pianist as well, I’ve seen him on stage, he is amazing.
By the way I will post the videos of José James on stage, live in Paris, soon.

Vous devez tous savoir maintenant à quel point j’adore José James et cette chanson est clairement l’une des raisons pour lesquelles j’adore cet artiste. Cette énergie, cette voix, cette puissance. Je le préfère largement dans un répertoire jazz ou un brin “blues” que dans son registre nu soul de Blackmagic (qui est très réussi mais je ne retrouvais pas cette puissance). Je pense que ce répertoire est celui qui révèle le mieux la beauté de sa voix. De plus Jef Neve est un très bon pianiste, j’ai eu la chance de le voir sur scène, il est excellent.
Ceci me fait penser, je posterai bientôt les videos que j’ai prise lors du dernier concert de José James à Paris, très bientôt.

Enjoy.
