Wallace Cleaver - Marcel Tour

"Marcel" is a seismic album, an intimate detonation in which Wallace Cleaver captures the simultaneous blossoming of a musical achievement and a personal incompleteness.

The artist does not confine himself to a rap influence: already moving within rap across all its sub-genres and rhythms, he also explores the territory of song, pop and spoken word whenever necessity calls for it.

Wallace Cleaver is joined by the music of his PR partner, a pianist whose sounds are by turns floating and airy, but also heavy and brutal when urgency demands it.

It is a record traversed by the passing of time: the time that gives life, as his niece is born, and the time that fades, as he bids farewell to his grandfather, finally closing the chapter of mourning begun on "Merci".

Within "Marcel" lies the poetic translation of a generational loop: someone leaves, someone arrives, and at the centre stands Wallace, recounting the fragile role of a man growing up in between the two. "Marcel" marks the album of blossoming.

It is the one in which Wallace fully asserts himself, where his artistic identity finally takes its definitive form, the result of a decade of searching, doubt and reconstruction. His pen, his voice and his universe all converge.

The music bears witness to his experience in rap, but also to his trials as a man: son, uncle, grandson, friend, artist. © Asterios
