PAB THE KID, JAMES THE PROPHET AND ITZAMA JOIN FORCES ON “TOWER”

James the Prophet and Pab the Kid are two High-School friends with a passion for music. James, born in France to English and American parents, and Pab, originally from Lille, started making music together in 2018. Their careers have always been intrinsically linked despite their opposite temperaments; James is wise, calm, and collected, while Pab is energetic and playful. With his background in hip-hop, James introduced Pab to artists such as Smino, Saba, Isaiah Rashad, and Mac Miller, giving him a solid foundation to grow and develop his own sound. Together they share everything, from live shows to studio sessions.

So naturally, they had the idea to create a duo, in parallel to their solo careers. Many demos followed, leading to a first full-fledged project. “Tower” is the new single of the album that will be released in late 2022, the result of long months in the studio and a beautiful artistic bromance with the producer Majeur Mineur. On this summery title crafted to dance in the Parisian parties and to sing in the festivals, James and Pab invited Itzama, venturing towards new more eclectic sounds, to accompany perfectly a fresh cocktail and a beautiful sunset…

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
