SOULDUST

As the 21st century slowly gathers steam, music is undergoing a transformation. Hybrid forms of expression and new stylistic fusions point the way to the sounds of tomorrow. Music is a perpetually-spinning wheel, constantly evolving—andSouldust is part of a new generation of artists that are giving that wheel a good push. His album Confused appears on Victims, the new neo-soul sublabel of Canada’s Trigger Recording. Confused was born out of a desire to reconnect with soul’s roots and influences: R&B, rock ’n’ roll and urban contemporary.Confused was created in Las Vegas while Sébastien Laurendeau was composer assistant and musical director of Zumanity, Cirque de Soleil’s most controversial production. Confused bears the evident influence of artists such as Stevie Wonder, Peter Gabriel and Lenny Kravitz. The album proposes a variety of tracks that, while sharing a common style, each offer the listener something unique in the way that great soul classics do. Music lovers will be won over by the stellar production quality on Confused.
