French hip-hop producer and cinephile Wax Tailor conceptualised his sixth album with a phrase by Orson Welles. The Citizen Kane director regularly stated that his role was to ‘preside over’ the accidents that occurred during the making of a film. For Wax Tailor, it’s also a question of ‘knowing how to capture them in order to make the accident an artistic intention. I decided not to follow a well-established concept but this more instinctive guideline and to go fishing for accidents’. The result is this series of happy accidents, punctuated by samples that always cut to the chase. While rap has undergone major evolutions both stylistically and in terms of its audience, Wax Tailor hasn’t budged an inch, sticking to the abstract hip-hop style originally conceived by DJ Shadow, DJ Krush and DJ Cam. He continues to create cinematic art, making music videos with a retro charm for both his solo tracks and those made with collaborators from diverse stylistic backgrounds. The album is bursting with great songs, such as the beautiful ‘Shaman in Your Arms’, featuring Jennifer Charles (from Elysian Fields), ‘Freaky Circus’ and its golden age boom bap (featuring Mr Lif and Napoleon da Legend), and the incredible ‘Come With Me’, which features his inspiring new muse, Victoria Bigelow © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz
