DOMINIQUE FILS AIME レコード& CD

Review: 
Dominique Fils-Aime is a superb Canadian singer-songwriter who blends soul, jazz and blues with social commentary. Her 2018 album Nameless remains a favourite of ours and this new full length Our Roots Run Deep is no slouch either. It has an immersive cinematic feel that is brought further to life by the art's own dreamlike narrative structures. Her vocalisations are often wordless, inventive, and catchy - that take the form of mantras and hooks and prayers as they are repeated throughout. Musically this is a soul album, but a hugely original one.

Review: 'Nameless Remixes' is a fresh 12" single of minimal/tech house bubblers, offshooting from the 2018 album Nameless by Dominique Fils-Aime, a Canadian singer-songwriter who blends soul, jazz and blues with social commentary. Producers Ohm Hourani, Ben Neven, Ben Vedren and Flabbergast handle sensitive treatment of the elements of Fils Aime's originals, emphasising house and broken beat with an organic touch. All four indulge a mindful palette with plenty of headroom, occupied by walking basses, punky drum wallops, and melodic hazes, of which our favourite is Flabbergast's Flying remix.
