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 unfinished business.

The artist does not confine himself to a rap influence, already moving freely within the genre across all its sub-genres and rhythms; he also explores the territory of song, pop and spoken word whenever necessity catches up with him.

Wallace Cleaver is accompanied by the music of his PR partner, a pianist whose sounds are at times ethereal and airy, but also heavy and brutal when urgency demands it.

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

There is in Marcel 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 between the two. Marcel is the album of blossoming.

The one where Wallace fully asserts himself, where his artistic identity finally appears in its definitive form, the result of a decade of searching, doubt and rebuilding. His pen, his voice, his universe, everything converges.

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