Let your Angels fall - T.ECHnO
T+ECHnO
Once I met T. and he was somewhere on his wave out there.
T. passes by and I just ask him: Will you?
Whenever T. echoes in the air, it’s like wings…surfing.
Night- or daydreaming on a downtown beach, kissed by the Ocean, wherever you can dance or sail in the moonlight and stars, waiting for a new dawn to come.
Enjoy The Source!
By the way, by the wave: T. is Thomas and it’s Time, too.
Thomas Cheval
Let there be glam.
Each of Thomas Cheval’s songs is a microcosm in itself, an attempt to
answer the impossible question of what it might be like to be twenty years old in the 1920s. The common element in all his output is glam.
There is bitterness in your twenties, says Thomas’ electropop, but why not challenge it armed with glitter?
Express yourself flashily on the outside to better understand yourself on the inside. The way it used to be done in the fabulous 1970s, when the release of a single seemed to trigger a new revolution in customs and thinking every time.
It is from that free world that the indie pop of ‘Acqua Minerale’ is inspired. ‘Posacenere’, (Liberi) or ‘Camel’: indie in the true sense of the word.
Today, Thomas Cheval, an Italian French singer-songwriter and former talent show finalist, finally follows the rules, his own: writing, playing and arranging. His sound universe is defined by a very personal rhythmic instinctiveness, by motifs that stick in the listener’s ears and head.
In the listener’s ears and head, hermetic titles that seem an invitation to interpretation and free association.
And from those shimmering lenses that frame everything: let there be glam.
Thomas Cheval, born in 1997, is an Italian French singer-songwriter, pianist and arranger.
A finalist in team Noemi at The Voice 2015, he released his first self-titled EP the same year (Universal). first eponymous EP (Universal).
In 2016 he won the Feeling the Street contest (Toyota) with the unreleased song ‘And So It Ends’, then went on tour in Australia, which led him to record at Studios 301 in Sydney, with producer Jason Kerrison, to record the track ‘The Limit Is the Sky’, which Toyota Japan used for promotional purposes.
June 2017 saw the release of ‘The Life You Wait’ distributed by Universal. In 2019 it is the turn of ‘Me’.
In 2020, locked in the house with the world blocked by the pandemic, he writes and produces intensively, the songs and related video clips are made remotely with the team scattered between Ferrara, Rome, Perugia, and Milan.
The first single of the year is ‘Baguette’, while ‘Acqua Minerale’ is presented at AmaSanremo and received top marks from Morgan and Piero Pelù, with the latter adding: ‘I have Cheval fever!
Idiomatically °I have a horse fever° means to have a very high temperature! Cheval from French is Horse.
A certainly appropriate statement for Thomas, who returns to the hotel and discovers that he has sung with a fever of 41. Despite the period, it’s not Covid…. just an acute gastroenteritis (bummer). If nothing else, the trade magazines Rolling Stone and AllMusic list him as an emerging artist to watch out for.
2021 is inaugurated by ‘Posacenere’, followed by the single ‘(Liberi)’ – in which he pays tribute to the true queen of indie, Orietta Berti – which is appreciated and shared on social networks. In September it is the turn of ‘Cammello’, which enters some Spotify editorial playlists, followed in autumn by ‘Serotonina’ and in winter by ‘Sale’. The latter single is presented at Sanremo Giovani 2021, entering in 46th place.
After two Sanremo Giovani in a row, Thomas released his new single ‘Veleno’ on 18 March, which immediately entered some editorial playlists.
With the tentative reopening of the venues, Thomas started playing live again, as the music began to circulate for everyone.
