{"product_id":"ezechiel-pailhes-sol","title":"Ezéchiel Pailhès - SOL","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor his sixth solo album, Ezéchiel Pailhès returns with a new collection of songs\u003cbr\u003einfused by a sunny wandering spirit.\u003cbr\u003eWithin each of the twelve songs on SOL is a thread of melancholic happiness that has\u003cbr\u003epermeated much of Pailhès’ music and songwriting. He addresses love, the passing of\u003cbr\u003etime, hope, lost illusions, fleeting moments of grace, the temptation of forgetting, a\u003cbr\u003eneed to escape, and desire. All this is insulated by understated orchestrations that\u003cbr\u003eblend acoustic and electronic instrumentation with deft confidence.\u003cbr\u003eThe Portuguese and Brazilian concept of saudade—a form of melancholic longing\u003cbr\u003eand nostalgia—pervades, thanks in part to Pailhès decision to record the album in\u003cbr\u003eRio de Janeiro and to reinterpret some of the finest works of Música Popular\u003cbr\u003eBrasileira (MPB). In particular, he revisits a handful of lesser known classics from the\u003cbr\u003emid-century samba and bossa nova era—originally written or performed by talents\u003cbr\u003eincluding Vinícius de Moraes, João Gilberto, Tom Zé, Dorival Caymmi, João Donato,\u003cbr\u003eOs Tincoãs, and Ataulfo Alves.\u003cbr\u003eThe shift from Brazilian Portuguese to French and the decision to adapt rather than\u003cbr\u003eperform a straightforward cover versions, allows Pailhès to invent a form of prosody\u003cbr\u003eand euphony (the musicality and harmonious combination of words) that feels\u003cbr\u003evibrant and unlike anything else in today’s French chanson landscape.\u003cbr\u003eEzéchiel Pailhès reinvents this rich Franco-Brazilian musical legacy, bringing to it a\u003cbr\u003epersonality and modernity that stand confidently alongside those of his forbears.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Plant","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":54314980049219,"sku":"RPT-21022","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1601\/8499\/files\/767aa5eae79791b785fe5be112f4d17b.png?v=1774880340","url":"https:\/\/www.recordplant.co.uk\/products\/ezechiel-pailhes-sol","provider":"Record Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
