Tale Of Voices - The novel of an exceptional septet
Kevon, Skeud, Léo, Wesley, KJ, Manu Vince and Fey-b, united by blood or friendship, formed in 2008 the group Tale Of Voices, an ode to the essence of music, the voice.
Bathing in music each in their own way, from the gospel choir to pastoral hymns, passing by the beatbox, the piano, the drums, or even musicology, they compose a refrain with eclectic accents. Their particularity? Sing a cappella, as a vehicle for delivering a pure message. In counterpoint as in distinction, their voices are superimposed or intertwined to create a new, unique and unprecedented harmony.
Stars of the program “Sing Off 100% Vocal” broadcast on french TV channel France 2 in 2011 and adapted from the successful American version, they embark on the television adventure with flying colors, seducing a prestigious jury and winning the votes of a audience that allows them to win the show's finale on October 15. They enjoy it, reveal themselves there, and reveal to the general public their love of the stage, their pleasure to perform, and especially their golden voices, capable of vibrant prowess.
Definitely the protagonists of a new adventure, they quickly signed with the legendary Sony record label under the Columbia label, and quickly and smoothly released a first album, released on February 27, 2012, a real concentrate of their respective talents: pleasure of brilliantly revisited melodies, such as the cult "Comme d'Habitude" by Claude François tinged with a salsa touch that accelerates the tempo, or "Le Temps qui court", a French version adapted from "Could It Be Magic" by Barry Manilow , a delightful interpretation carried by Manu Vince. We also get acquainted with original works, including the intense and penetrating "You Are My Life", written and composed by Kevon, representative piece par excellence of these seven boys in the wind, "a declaration of our faith" according to just words of Manu Vince, who continues: "we are addressing the person who we believe is the essence of our lives".
A simple but striking message, words in the service of music, voices that flatter the melodies, the Tale Of Voices compose their own score, undoubtedly write an original story, a story of track and voice: theirs ...
