QALF
DAMSO 09/2020 © Trente-quatre Centimes After 3 years of absence and the line "the album of the year will not be released this year" written in 2019 in his song "God Bless" with Hamza, Damso is back with his new project QALF in 2020, just in time to cheer us up! With 45 min of music, 14 tracks and featuring special guests such as Lous And The Yakuza or Fally Ipupa the rapper managed to delight our ears. Damso talks about William "the persona behind the artist" who is calmer than Damso "the actual artist" and we can sense him for example in "911" or "Sentimental". Overall, the album sounds calmer than his previous opus in spite of big bangers such as "BXL ZOO" with Hamza or "D'ja Roulé". We also uncover a touching side of William who talks a lot about his mother who was seriously ill and stayed in hospital for several months, which delayed the release of the project. He even dedicated a song to her on "Rose Marthe's Love" with striking lines such as "You have few friends in the hospital" or "Mom I love you, even if I've never said it". He also recorded a track called "Deux Toiles De Mer" on which you can hear the voice of his son Lior who won the hearts of his fans. He also talks about Africa, his old life and what made him leave his hometown in his songs "Coeur En Miettes" and "Pour L'argent". He even ventures to talk about politics as he did on "Kin La Belle". So many reasons that once again lead to a standing ovation for Damso's talent. © Samson Gorski
