Arthur Ely is one of those new UFOs that we do not really see coming and yet surprise. A new music video, A Raison ou A Tort, is released today. A release that will be followed by his new EP. Discovery of this last man of rap.
"Romantic, it's no longer fashionable" – The Last Man
Arthur Ely is the raw speech, the true speech. Relating to a social reality, he likes to play with the codes of the French language. He also notes the ambition, that of breaking the codes of French song. In an interview he held with the Nouvel Obs at the beginning of the year he even confided:
"Make variety, which feeds on the vitality of all other styles. In a way, make awesome soup, able to entertain a wide audience, while being relevant, without ever being smooth and boring."
Rightly or wrongly, a new aesthetic clip
While he had already published the clip of The Last Man at the beginning of the year, Arthur Ely surprises with a particularly aesthetic clip. Between dream and nightmare, reality and dystopia, Rightly or Wrongly has the audacity to propose an original bias. Starting very soberly with a simple text image containing the words "#Arthur #Ely #Is #The #New #Faust", then giving the definition of Faust, Arthur Ely sets the tone. Decadence and ambition.
A first EP that he will defend on stage
Just like its title A raison ou à tort, the rest of this first EP is audacious. Entitled EP STANDARD, this album seems carved by egocentrism and audacity. A definition that would seem to stick to the 22-year-old artist, who himself admits to wanting to be the center of attention.
Expected for November 23, EP STANDARD will see its colors defended on stage. Arthur Ely will open for Therapie Taxi soon. This is not the first attempt of the artist who had already provided the first parts of Eddy de Preto or Lonepsi at the beginning of the year.
Arthur Ely, the new beast of the French rap scene? His new EP EP STANDARD is released on Friday, November 23rd on platforms and he will be at Bars en Trans on December 6th at Dejazey at 8pm!
