Why choose between old and new? In his first album, Jean Tonique decided to take the best of both worlds. After two EPs, he starts piecing together what will become his first album, around multiple influences, with the extensive use of talk box, popularized by Zapp, Snoop Dogg, Kraftwerk and Daft Punk. This particular instrument is what modulate the vocal parts, and turns it into funky, robotic sounds. As a sound and machines maestro, Jean Tonique plays all the instruments on the album, but he selected a few guests for the vocal parts : american rapper Ciscero is on «This Feeling », and young soul diva Keyone Starr, featured on Mark Ronson’s track « I Can’t Lose », sings on « Grooving Machine » and « Something To Talk About ». Dabeull, from label Roche Musique is on « The Party » and Etienne de Crécy brings his immaculate techno touch to « Radio Tuning », the only voiceless song on the album. Jean Tonique always remains the mind behind this sonic space-trip, beginning with the take-off announcement as an intro to ’’Welcome In Paris’’ and concluding at the end of the B-Face with the all-encompassing ‘’Home’’, final landing after this journey through the night. Jean Tonique ? A well-mannered artist, with great taste, great sound and amazing technique. The ideal recipe for a first LP to play on repeat in a never-ending party.
