Para One

Para One's second album "Passion" will be released on Marble/Because Music on June 18th, 2012. This a new shift in Para One’s career : the album feels much warmer and confortable than his previous work. It’s also much poppier and has a fine number of true hits, complete with vocals from Tekilatex, Irfane and Jaw. The Euro-neurotic’s tension is still there sometimes, but the muscle softened and the flesh took over. This is basically uptempo, futuristic R&B with an unmissable sexy touch : it’s teeming with round-shaped sounds, wet textures and gentle aural strokes. The whole movement is mid-paced and light-headed, and it’s clearly a home-listening, or even bed-listening, slow jam album. The tenderness often gets spaced up or angularized, though. The beats sometimes manage to sound both smooth and rough, easy and intricate, and ghosts of Para’s rap training can be heard everywhere.There’s also hints of 2-step, deep house, IDM and boogie funk, yet it’s a singular, idiosyncratic record, made with an extremely cohesive approach. It’s an almost serene effort, and it’s certainly generous and loving in the way it unfurls its numerous ideas. This is an album you get deep into, but there’s nothing dramatic to it – it’s just unadultered, voluptuous pleasure. So fast-forward through the album and discover extracts of "Passion" !
