Introspections

by Steve Mekoudja

supported by
/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Introspections is Steve Mekoudja's second album, due for release on October 20. It's a 10-track album celebrating self-love.

    A journey inside ourselves, a call to search for ourselves, a call to accept and express our emotions. What does it mean to be a man today? A black man in today's world.

    The album opens with a song about the birth of a man. From his mother's womb, the world already expects him to be strong and courageous. Every day. All the time. But is that really what it means to be a man?

    Violins, double bass and acoustic guitar are the central instruments of this project, which blends poetry and melancholy. But also dance. The middle of the project is a little more danceable, inviting influences such as Zouk and Trap.

    The project ends on a hopeful note, after all the questioning about masculinity, depression and self-love.

    The last track sends a message of hope.
