Released a week after its previous album, before Earth Ahab reveals the artist’s most terrain and hedonist side with weight collaborations
Less than a month after launching A sea for each, LUEDJI LUNA surprised the audience with a second unpublished album: Before the Earth Endsavailable from today, June 13, on all digital platforms. If the first album traced his search for loving and being loved, the second is the mirror that reveals the shadows, excesses and contradictions of that same desire.
“While the first album illustrates my search to love and be loved, the second reveals how far I can go to solve this need,” explains Luedji.
I show myself earthly, human, ordinary. ”
With a more solar, dancing and hedonistic sound, the album comes full of special collaborations: Robert Glasper, Seu Jorge, Arthur Verocai, Alaíde Costa, Mc Luanna, Rapsody and Emillie Lapa They help build a plural and sensory universe, ranging from jazz to amapiano, from bossa nova to Afrobeat.
The opening with “Apocalypse” Already gives the tone: far from a catastrophic end, the apocalypse here is revelation: of human uglies and weaknesses in the face of love. In “Peacock”with Rapsody and Mc Luannadesires gain strength and rhythm. In “Beautiful”the meeting with Alaíde Costa It brings lyricism and melancholy.
The surprise release was a bold artistic gesture: two mirrored albums, released with only days of difference, who together form an emotional and musical diptych. “These two albums are very Gemini: changeable, dynamic and transformer. One mirrors the other. I’m happy!” Luedji.
