L’artiste montr\u00e9alais lance son nouvel album Jos\u00e9 Louis and The Paradox of Love. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

N\u00e9 au Congo et \u00e9tabli \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al, le musicien, auteur-compositeur et DJ Pierre Kwenders est un conteur dans l’\u00e2me. Motiv\u00e9 par les subtilit\u00e9s de l’amour, ses chansons tissent des r\u00e9cits \u00e0 partir de souvenirs du pass\u00e9, d’esquisses de sa ville natale et de r\u00e9flexions sur l’avenir. Avec son troisi\u00e8me album, Jos\u00e9 Louis and The Paradox of Love <\/em>(via Arts & Crafts), Kwenders arrive \u00e0 un nouveau point de jonction – un moment de r\u00e9sonance, soigneusement envelopp\u00e9 dans une tapisserie libre, articul\u00e9 dans le respect de son h\u00e9ritage diversifi\u00e9, mais r\u00e9v\u00e9lant la combinaison inventive de ses \u00e9l\u00e9ments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chantant et rappant en lingala, fran\u00e7ais, anglais, tshiluba et kikongo, Pierre Kwenders tisse de la m\u00eame mani\u00e8re ses histoires \u00e0 travers les fronti\u00e8res de la langue et de la g\u00e9ographie. Jos\u00e9 Louis and the Paradox of Love<\/em> est l’aboutissement de son d\u00e9veloppement personnel et de la dext\u00e9rit\u00e9 musicale qu’il a affin\u00e9e au fil des ans, faisant converger ses fortes capacit\u00e9s d’auteur-compositeur avec la bravoure qu’il poss\u00e8de en tant que DJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’album explore une recherche permanente pour saisir les complexit\u00e9s universelles de la romance, parfois \u00e0 travers le prisme des exp\u00e9riences intimes de Kwenders. Les chansons ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9crites et enregistr\u00e9es sur une p\u00e9riode de quatre ans, et l’album porte symboliquement le titre de son nom de naissance, Jos\u00e9 Louis Modabi. \u00c0 travers diff\u00e9rents moments de tension et de rel\u00e2chement, les r\u00e9cits romantiques de la beaut\u00e9 et du d\u00e9sastre sont emball\u00e9s dans de puissantes vignettes musicales po\u00e9tiques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jos\u00e9 Louis and The Paradox of Love<\/em> transcende les genres, notamment l’\u00e9lectronique, la pop et la rumba, et fait appel \u00e0 des instruments tels que la guitare, le saxophone, le violoncelle, la trompette, le violon et la Mbira, un idiophone \u00e0 cordes pinc\u00e9es du Zimbabwe. Tout comme Kwenders \u00e9crit dans une perspective multilingue, il puise dans ses influences musicales, recherchant les nuances pr\u00e9cises offertes par chacune d’entre elles pour mieux r\u00e9sonner \u00e9motionnellement. Puisant dans un large \u00e9ventail de cultures, l’album a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9crit et enregistr\u00e9 dans une poign\u00e9e de villes au-del\u00e0 des fronti\u00e8res, dont Montr\u00e9al, Lisbonne, Seattle, New York City, Philadelphie et la Nouvelle-Orl\u00e9ans, et comprend un large \u00e9ventail de caract\u00e9ristiques avec des collaborateurs anciens et nouveaux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congolese-born, Montreal-based musician, songwriter, and DJ Pierre Kwenders (he\/him) is a storyteller at his core. Motivated by the intricacies of love, his songs weave together narratives from memories of the past, sketches of his hometown, and reflections on the future. With his third album, Jos\u00e9 Louis and The Paradox of Love<\/em> (via Arts & Crafts), Kwenders arrives at a new juncture \u2013 a moment of resonance, carefully wrapped in freewheeling tapestry, hinged in reverence to its diverse heritage, yet revelling in the inventive combination of its elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singing and rapping in Lingala, French, English, Tshiluba, and Kikongo, Pierre Kwenders similarly weaves his stories across the boundaries of language and geography. Jos\u00e9 Louis and the Paradox of Love<\/em> is a culmination of personal growth and the musical dexterity he has honed over the years, converging his strong songwriting capabilities with the bravado he possesses as a DJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album explores an ongoing search to grasp the universal complexities of romance, sometimes through the lens of Kwenders\u2019 own intimate experiences. The songs were written and recorded over the span of four years, and the album is symbolically titled after his birth name, Jos\u00e9 Louis Modabi. Through different moments of tension and release, romantic narratives of beauty and disaster are packed into powerful poetic musical vignettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jos\u00e9 Louis and The Paradox of Love<\/em> transcends genres including electronic, pop, and rumba and includes instruments such as the guitar, saxophone, cello, trumpet, violin, and the Mbira, a plucked idiophone from Zimbabwe. Just as Kwenders writes from a multilingual perspective, so too does he draw on his musical influences, searching for the precise nuances offered by each one to best emotionally resonate. Dipping into a wide range of cultures, the album was written and recorded in a handful of cities across borders including Montreal, Lisbon, Seattle, New York City, Philadelphia, and New Orleans, and includes a wide range of features with both new and old collaborators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
