"St. Lucia is what happens when the long and desolate winter in New York disappears to give way to an emerging summer is to give life to the memories of childhood holidays are disappearing photos of exotic places and recapture the dream ... "I think there is no better way to describe the sound of St. Lucia that referencing the text written by Jean-Philip Grobler in his official Facebook page. Discover just a week ago this musical phenomenon has been like discovering opium, from the moment we discovered we could not stop listening repeatedly to the most synth pop (and even some African pop with a touch!) That make EPS one of the most promising emerging international landscape.
I find it frankly amazing that a single artist (Jean-Philip Grobler is the only "master mind" behind this EP) has managed to carve out a sound so detailed as described in "St. Lucia EP ". Just need to give some listening to 'We Got It Wrong' to understand the multi-instrumentalist from New York knows how to get to finger some of the most critical moments of one of the greatest of the genre: M83. Jean seems to have no limits: despite the riskiness of its proposal or 'Before The Dive' (born to be the greatest single of all EP) or 'Closer Than This "are imperfect moments. And mention should be 'All Eyes On You', an extremely addictive tribute to the 80 that have a conspicuously inesperadísimo - sweet! - Jazz solo in the end.
For some time he needed to find an album like this. Fresh, precious and limitless. Jean-Philip has managed Hajar in "St. Lucia EP "the cardinal points which best define a genre that seems to be rising again. That streak will not stop.
