A highly unique and hypnotic offering, ‘Frénésie’ is bound to positively impress even the most apathetic of listeners. Drenched in a deep eclecticism, the record moves with purpose and charisma among a stream of organic instrumentation, playful melodies, and tribal percussions. The cherry on the cake is provided by Benjamin Quartz’s charming baritone vocal tone, quite velvety and theatrical. It’s delivered wth real savoir-faire by the French troubadour.
‘Frénésie’ doesn’t certainly exist in a vacuum; taken from Quartz’s upcoming album ‘Sombre Samba’, the single showcases everything we can expect from a project that’s notably been long in the works. Recorded in late 2024, ‘Sombre Samba’ finds its overarching ethos in a passionate commitment to human-made sonic matter – meaning no digital or electronic elements of any kind.
Joining Benjamin on this adventure, we find talented collaborators Laure Bonomo on violin, Jorge Santos on percussion, Manon Bonnes on keyboards and backing vocals, and Sylvain Terminiello on double bass. Quartz guides the ensemble with real creative flair. Delving deeper into the inspiration behind ‘Frénésie’, the French talent explains: “It’s a song about overflow, but played with precision. As if chaos were speaking an elegant language.”
