JoosTVD
Suit Yourself
Groove

(Translation from french to english):
 

JoosTVD is the very definition of a
groovemaker. The Dutch artist has the
physical assets, already, with a voice of
groove crooner. And then he has the
particularity to be able to bring back all to
his wide style of predilection. From Latin
ambiances to guitar solos, everything he
touches seems to have funk in it. Then on
the duration of an album, obviously, he
threads like pearls of the pieces ready to
make sway the most insensitive. JoosTVD
is a jack-of-all-trades without limits, who
knows how to provoke variations of
rhythms, in his tracks and in the tempo of
the album, as if he could take possession of
our bodies and souls, the time of the
twelve tracks of "Suit Yourself", to guide
us towards a funky trance. Impossible to
refuse him that, it would be a shame to
deprive ourselves.

 

(Vertaling van frans naar nederlands):
JoosTVD is de definitie van een
groovemaker. De Nederlandse artiest heeft de
fysieke troeven al, met een stem van groove crooner. En dan heeft hij de... bijzonderheid om alles terug te kunnen brengen in... zijn brede stijl van voorliefde. Van Latin ambiances tot gitaarsolo's, alles wat hij
aanraakt, lijkt funk in zich te hebben. Dan op... de duur van een album, natuurlijk, rijgt hij... als parels van de stukken die klaar zijn om... de meest ongevoelige te laten zwaaien. JoosTVD is een duizendpoot zonder grenzen, die variaties van ritmes weet uit te lokken, in zijn tracks en in het tempo van het album, alsof hij bezit kan nemen van onze lichamen en zielen, de tijd van de...twaalf nummers van 'Suit Yourself', om ons naar een funky trance te leiden. Onmogelijk om...... hem dat te weigeren, het zou zonde zijn om...... onszelf te beroven.

A new song that has to be shared to be believed....

...and to be heard. So I've finally came up with a new batch of songs. Well, I never thought I'd make an another album, but here we are again.

This is the first of twelve songs, this one slowly building up, crawling under your skin, I hope. I've shared it with soundcloud and the online magazine Homecooking Share.

Process.

A World Of Make Believe was basically done with the help of an acoustic guitar and a slow, but urging drumloop with a sort of hiss in its mix. Lyrically I had the word fake in my mind, as I regularly have lately, when I read the news. Make believe. Create your own reality or bubble and watch what happens to the sheep when you spread the word. A sinister and hypnotic tone of voice. You can hear that in the way I sing, I even almost rap or narrate the words.The chorus is more melodic with a latin feel around it for some contrasting relieve. With Gil Scott-Heron tapping on my shoulder.

Come on, let's find out on the 'Groove' page
