Is your passport up-to-date? If it’s not, now might be the right time to submit your application to ensure it’s valid. Because you’re going on a bit of an international trip: from Brussels to Denmark and right here back to the good old United States of America. You’re taking a little bit of an excursion and you’ve got the best excuse to do so: good music.
Nicolas Michaux has been listening to plenty of great music over the course of his lifetime and now - on this third full length album - he’s putting those influences together and mixing them with his own voice. And depending on his mood, his voice may be singing in either English or in his native tongue, Francais.
His latest record is titled, Vitalisme (which he helps me to pronounce) and it’s focused on his current worldview that - even though it was recorded on a small island off of Denmark called Samsø - it still reflects the anxieties and fears that we we face together, not as citizens of a specific country, but as denizens of this planet we call Earth.
So, it’s time to start wrapping up your time in the departure lounge because the announcement has been made to begin boarding. But - as with any trip abroad - prepare yourself to be surprised not at our differences, but by our collective similarities.
