Ahead of the release of his much awaited debut album Blablablue, Belgian singer-songwriter Delv!s just shares a new single, the dreamy "Human Trumpet". It's no secret that Belgium owes much of its cultural prestige to its vibrant music scene. Lately, with much of the attention turned to Flanders, the Flemish side of the country is playing host to many exciting, genre-bending projects, including a tremendously innovative rap scene and a lively pool of electro bands walking in the footsteps of pioneers such as Soulwax: a tradition that Delv!s, one of the country's most exciting newcomers to the soul, blues, disco-funk and pop genres, is set on honoring. Delv!s is now ready to introduce Blablablue to the world: a soul album infused with electro, funk, and rock sounds, blended with a score of field recording samples; twelve tracks all penned by himself, unveiling a whirlwind of emotions that fuel the singer's unique voice. The nostalgic brass arrangements and vintage-sounding harmonies may evoke Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, or even James Brown at times, but Blablablue nevertheless triumphs as a current and socially relevant record thanks to its topical commentary and diverse influences. Addressing many of the great issues plaguing the world today, including the sense of urban solitude, this is the first offering by a great artist, a sensitive soul also fluent in the language of love. Something to reflect on, unite us and even comfort us at times when we need it the most.
