For his sixth solo album, Ezchiel Pailhs returns with a new collection of songs infused by a sunny wandering spirit.
Within each of the twelve songs on SOL is a thread of melancholic happiness that has permeated much of Pailhs music and songwriting. He addresses love, the passing of time, hope, lost illusions, fleeting moments of grace, the temptation of forgetting, a need to escape, and desire. All this is insulated by understated orchestrations that blend acoustic and electronic instrumentation with deft confidence.
The Portuguese and Brazilian concept of saudadea form of melancholic longing and nostalgiapervades, thanks in part to Pailhs decision to record the album in Rio de Janeiro and to reinterpret some of the finest works of Msica Popular Brasileira (MPB). In particular, he revisits a handful of lesser known classics from the mid-century samba and bossa nova eraoriginally written or performed by talents including Vincius de Moraes, Joo Gilberto, Tom Z, Dorival Caymmi, Joo Donato, Os Tincos, and Ataulfo Alves.
The shift from Brazilian Portuguese to French and the decision to adapt rather than perform a straightforward cover versions, allows Pailhs to invent a form of prosody and euphony (the musicality and harmonious combination of words) that feels vibrant and unlike anything else in todays French chanson landscape.
Ezchiel Pailhs reinvents this rich Franco-Brazilian musical legacy, bringing to it a personality and modernity that stand confidently alongside those of his forbears.
