Vidéo : Sophye Soliveau – Leave

« L’eau et la musique seront les dernières entités à quitter notre planète » affirmait Quincy Jones. Alors on veut bien quitter ce monde abjecte avec dans les oreilles, Initiation, le premier disque de Sophye Soliveau. Mais avec Leave, on ne peut que rester, bercé par la puissance de cette artiste qui pratique la magie musicale à la manière de Mati Diop et de son Atlantique au cinéma. Sa voix vous emmitonne, sa harpe vous captive de ses subtiles ponctuations et c’est peut être encore plus merveilleux en direct.

Sophye Soliveau sera en concert le vendredi 24 janvier au CAP • Centre d’art de Saint-Fons pour fêter les 25 ans du Saint-Fons Jazz festival.

Sophye Soliveau – Leave

Don’t look at me like that
I wanna hold you
When you know it’s not right
You’d better go
And you know there’s a lot
Of things I wanna tell you
But I gotta go you’d better leave

Let me show you what I’d do now
If you were right here
But I know it’s not time
To make you love me
‘fore we both turn our backs
You ought to know that
You got a soul I wanna see
