NEW MUSIC | SOULFUL GENEVA BASED HIP HOP TRIO TALK FEELINGS OF ISOLATION IN ‘NEVER FELT SO ALONE’

By Rishma • On What is New


Respond­ing to feel­ings of social isol­a­tion and the double-edged sword of digit­al con­nectiv­ity, “Nev­er Felt So Alone” is the third single from Cap­tains Of The Ima­gin­a­tion’s full EP Fin­ger­print avail­able on all stream­ing plat­forms now/

Straight outta Geneva, Switzer­land, this trio com­bines rap­ping, singing, and musi­cian­ship with both dis­tinct­ive lyr­ic­al con­tent and their own vibe.

Tak­ing a step in the dir­ec­tion of com­bat­ing taboos around men­tal health, vocal­ists Ima­gine, Dr Koul and Evita Koné lead by example by shar­ing their angst instead of bot­tling it up. French beat­maker Josra con­structs a son­ic atmo­sphere built around vibrat­ing bass­lines and strident syn­thes­izers, backed by Brit­ish viol­in­ist Juli­an Azkoul’s urgent bow strokes.

Music­ally, the song goes bey­ond its sub­ject mat­ter, as “Nev­er Felt So Alone” is as catchy and dance­able as its music video is styl­ish and entertaining.

Fin­ger­print is Cap­tains Of The Ima­gin­a­tion’s 6th stu­dio album, an EP pro­duced entirely by Josra and Bdance, beat­makers for the French label Sorry I’m Late. Ima­gine, Evita Koné & Dr Koul immerse them­selves fully in this new esthet­ic without betray­ing their group’s iden­tity: intro­spect­ive lyr­ics, dynam­ic flows, soul­ful melod­ies, guest musi­cians and orches­tral arrange­ments. The pro­ject is ver­sat­ile and mature, full of catchy hooks and punchy beats, and always con­tain­ing deep­er mes­sages under the surface.
