Imagine RUN DMC qui croise Mad Max : une explosion sonore, un cri de r\u00e9volte, un exutoire collectif qui secoue les consciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winner of the 2023 International Indigenous Hip-Hop Awards for Best Male Hip-Hop Artist of the Year, rapper and activist Q-052 presents his new album, a post-apocalyptic world where molten metal meets dry earth. His old-school flow, rooted in classic hip-hop, collides with modern beats tinged with punk rock, sharp, driving, and unfiltered, all carried by fiercely political lyrics that land straight in the chest. Imagine RUN DMC crossing paths with Mad Max: a sonic explosion, a scream of rebellion, a collective release built to shake people awake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22:00 – Boutique Feelings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impr\u00e9gn\u00e9e d\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9ments du psych\u00e9d\u00e9lisme, compos\u00e9e autour de trames sonores \u00e9th\u00e9r\u00e9es et catapultant des rimes m\u00e9lodiques bien ac\u00e9r\u00e9es, la musique de Boutique Feelings (Montr\u00e9al, QC) invite \u00e0 la r\u00e9flexion quant aux normes socio-politiques tout en proposant une variante alternative du hip-hop. Contournant les m\u00e9thodes de composition traditionnelles, ce nouveau projet de Karim Lakhdar \u2013 connu en tant que chanteur, clavi\u00e9riste et guitariste de l\u2019ensemble montr\u00e9alais de psych rock progressif Atsuko Chiba \u2013 explore des th\u00e8mes relatifs \u00e0 l\u2019identit\u00e9 culturelle et personnelle, offrant une narration loquace mais d\u00e9cal\u00e9e au fil de vers d\u2019oreille satur\u00e9s d\u2019effets. Il en r\u00e9sulte des pi\u00e8ces aux franges du rap, du funk psych\u00e9d\u00e9lique, du trip-hop, du krautrock, de l’\u00e9chantillonnage et de l\u2019\u00e9lectroacoustique. L\u2019artiste fait suite \u00e0 son EP \u00e9ponyme Boutique Feelings en annon\u00e7ant Shwaya, Shwaya, un premier long jeu pr\u00e9vu pour 21 novembre 2025 via Mothland.
\u00c0 la base, Boutique Feelings vise \u00e0 d\u00e9fier la classification des genres en tissant des morceaux tentaculaires o\u00f9 le rap rencontre la musique alternative et exp\u00e9rimentale, Lakhdar notant que \u00ab la gen\u00e8se du projet d\u00e9coule d’un amour pour la culture Hip-Hop, avec des influences allant d’OutKast et Madlib \u00e0 Kim Gordon et Gorillaz. \u00bb \u00c9chantillons de classiques musicaux, instruments acoustiques enregistr\u00e9s de fa\u00e7on lo-fi ou encore field recordings servent \u00e0 raconter une histoire, Boutique Feelings cr\u00e9ant des vers d’oreille o\u00f9 brillent des sonorit\u00e9s synth\u00e9tiques comme organiques, tel que le montrent son triptyque \u00e9ponyme comportant les pi\u00e8ces \u201cSundried Autumn\u201d, \u201cTrynna Do\u201d et \u201cI.Y.W.M.\u201d. Rolling Stone QC \u00e9crit : \u00ab Boutique Feelings m\u00eale hip-hop et \u00e9lectroacoustique. Entre trames sonores \u00e9th\u00e9r\u00e9es et rimes cisel\u00e9es, sa musique s\u2019attaque aux normes, sociales comme musicales, tout en proposant une \u00e9coute d\u00e9routante et n\u00e9cessaire. \u00bb Parmi les principaux sujets abord\u00e9s sur le EP, on compte la propagande m\u00e9diatique, ainsi que l\u2019anxi\u00e9t\u00e9 et l\u2019incertitude qu\u2019elle propage, la d\u00e9stabilisation de la pens\u00e9e critique et les attentes soci\u00e9taires suscitant la haine envers soi, la col\u00e8re et l\u2019impatience. Sur une note plus positive, Lakhdar y promouvoit aussi l\u2019autod\u00e9termination et la r\u00e9silience, tout en c\u00e9l\u00e9brant son h\u00e9ritage mixte en tant que canadien aux racines tunisiennes et italiennes.
Bien que Boutique Feelings soit essentiellement un projet solo, des songes sonores relatant le parcours personnel de Lakhdar, son \u0153uvre prend une toute nouvelle forme sur sc\u00e8ne, alors qu’il est rejoint par une armada de musicien.ne.s, dont la fl\u00fbtiste Vanessa Ascher, le guitariste Eric Shaufhauser, le clavi\u00e9riste\/laptopiste Kevin McDonald, le bassiste David Palumbo, ainsi qu’Anthony Piazza \u00e0 la batterie et aux projections en direct. Refl\u00e9tant la nature exp\u00e9rimentale du projet, le concert live est rempli de moments improvis\u00e9s; les chansons s’\u00e9tirent souvent en paysages sonores m\u00e9ditatifs, offrant un \u00e9quilibre face aux couplets effr\u00e9n\u00e9s et aux refrains accrocheurs. Depuis son arriv\u00e9e sur la sc\u00e8ne montr\u00e9alaise \u00e0 l’automne 2024, le projet a \u00e9t\u00e9 invit\u00e9 \u00e0 participer \u00e0 plusieurs \u00e9v\u00e9nements notables, dont M pour Montr\u00e9al, FME et Taverne Tour, tout en partageant la sc\u00e8ne avec des artistes tel.le.s que Hua Li, Mike Chabb et Magi Merlin.
Boutique Feelings pr\u00e9sente le 25 septembre 2025 via Mothland l\u2019extrait \u201cLong Shore\u201d, un avant-go\u00fbt de son premier album complet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infused with elements of psychedelia, built around ethereal soundscapes and propelled by sharp melodic rhymes, the music of Boutique Feelings (Montreal, QC) invites reflection on socio-political norms while offering an alternative take on hip-hop. Bypassing traditional composition methods, this new project from Karim Lakhdar, known as the singer, keyboardist, and guitarist of the Montreal progressive psych-rock ensemble Atsuko Chiba, explores themes of cultural and personal identity, delivering a loquacious yet off-kilter narrative through ear-catching, effect-saturated verses. The result is music that sits at the intersection of rap, psychedelic funk, trip-hop, krautrock, sampling, and electroacoustic sounds. Following his self-titled EP Boutique Feelings, Lakhdar is announcing Shwaya, Shwaya, his first full-length album, set for release on November 21, 2025 via Mothland.
At its core, Boutique Feelings seeks to defy genre classification by weaving sprawling tracks where rap meets alternative and experimental music. Lakhdar notes that \u201cthe genesis of the project stems from a love for hip-hop culture, with influences ranging from OutKast and Madlib to Kim Gordon and Gorillaz.\u201d Samples of classic music, lo-fi recorded acoustic instruments, and field recordings are used to tell stories, creating earworms where synthetic and organic sounds shine, as demonstrated by his self-titled triptych featuring the tracks \u201cSundried Autumn,\u201d \u201cTrynna Do,\u201d and \u201cI.Y.W.M.\u201d Rolling Stone QC writes: \u201cBoutique Feelings blends hip-hop and electroacoustic music. Between ethereal soundscapes and finely crafted rhymes, his music challenges norms, both social and musical, while offering a disorienting yet essential listening experience.\u201d Major topics on the EP include media propaganda, the anxiety and uncertainty it generates, the destabilization of critical thinking, and societal expectations that foster self-hate, anger, and impatience. On a more positive note, Lakhdar also promotes self-determination and resilience while celebrating his mixed heritage as a Canadian of Tunisian and Italian roots.
Although Boutique Feelings is primarily a solo project, exploring the personal journey of Lakhdar, the work takes on a new form on stage, where he is joined by a full ensemble of musicians, including flutist Vanessa Ascher, guitarist Eric Shaufhauser, keyboardist\/laptop artist Kevin McDonald, bassist David Palumbo, and Anthony Piazza on drums and live visuals. Reflecting the experimental nature of the project, the live show features improvised moments; songs often stretch into meditative soundscapes, balancing fast-paced verses with catchy choruses. Since emerging on the Montreal scene in fall 2024, the project has been invited to several notable events, including M for Montreal, FME, and Taverne Tour, while sharing stages with artists such as Hua Li, Mike Chabb, and Magi Merlin.
Boutique Feelings will release the single \u201cLong Shore\u201d on September 25, 2025 via Mothland, offering a preview of the upcoming full-length album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
