[TR24][OF] Dominique Fils-Aime - Stay Tuned! - 2019 (neo-soul, urban contemporary r&b, vocal jazz)

#777Сладкоголосая канадская соул-дива Доминик Фис-Эме родом из Монреаля. Она черпает своё вдохновение в творчестве таких джазовых икон, как Билли Холидей, Этта Джеймс, Нина Симон, Лина Хорн. В 2015 году Фис-Эме вышла в полуфинал популярного шоу The Voice. Но по-настоящему Доминик завоевала сердца слушателей, выпустив альбомы Nameless (2018) и Stay Tuned! (2019), которые получили восторженные отзывы в прессе и привлекли внимание как корифеев джаза, так и, благодаря современным r&b-аранжировкам, молодого поколения любителей нео-соула.

#777Dominique Fils-Aimé is a singer-songwriter from Montreal whose inspiration is drawn from soul icons of the 40’s and the 60’s the likes of Billie Holiday, Etta James and Nina Simone. In 2015 she made it to the semi-finals on The Voice and gripped the audience with her sultry and genuine voice.
Moving on from her 2018 debut full length blues-tinged Nameless—which boldly confronted historical silences and sorrows—Stay Tuned! is both a call for and reminder of revolution expressed with the fury of red-hot jazz. Wanting to break away from the standards of traditional compositions, Dominique presents a body of work focused on liberating herself from musical forms.

'Stay Tuned!' is Dominique Fils-Aimé’s sophomore album, the follow-up to her debut full length 'Nameless', part of her trilogy that brings to center stage the resiliency of mankind in the face of adversity and oppression and pays homage to Afro-American history and culture.
In this second recording, containing 14 original songs, Dominique delves into the civil rights movement of the 60s and explores several significant socio-political events which deeply affected the course of black history (Lincoln Hills Country Club, Little Nine Rock, Emmett Till). She honours unsung heroes of the civil liberties movement as well as historical figures of the time such as Rosa Parks, Joséphine Baker, Lena Horne, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King.
The album combines elements of soul, jazz, gospel and blends vocal harmonies, double bass, piano and trumpet over stirring and permuting grooves. Stay Tuned!’s lush vocal arrangements bring out Dominique’s voice as a stand-alone instrument, giving prominence to the words and the message she carries. Part rebellious and fiery, part sentimental and intimate, Dominique embodies afro-american music from then and now, all the while highlighting its defying power in a violent and divisive society. Breaking away from the standards of traditional compositions, the singer and songwriter presents a body of work focused on liberated musical forms hinting at the spirit of jazz.
Moving on from the blues-tinged 'Nameless'—which boldly confronted historical silences and sorrows—'Stay Tuned!' is both a call for and reminder of revolution expressed with the fury of red-hot jazz.
