Lose Control

Diplôme d’Ombre n’est pas qu’un titre, c’est une réalité, une reconnaissance silencieuse.

C’est le certificat d’existence pour ceux que le système ignore, le parchemin invisible des vies qui galèrent sans bruit, à l’écart des projecteurs.

Entre beats bruts et paroles sincères, ce morceau raconte l’histoire d’un homme qui compose avec ses moyens, dans l’ombre d’un monde qui veut le formater.

Un hymne à la résilience, à la créativité née des marges, et à cette dignité farouche que rien ni personne ne pourra lui enlever.

Pour tous les oubliés, les anonymes, les résistants du quotidien : ce diplôme, on le décroche sans cérémonie, mais avec fierté.

Short Album write up (feel free to put in own words or change as needed):
Stay The Course: Is the debut album on Superbest Records for newly announced artist Willdabeast. Will Glazier and co-producer Daniel de Lisle present a new approach to Electro-Soul and instrumental Hip-Hop by bringing boisterous horn sections, stacked synthesizers and heavy bass to their music.  Aware of the sample based history of the genre, Willdabeast endeavored to bring collaborative artists into the studio to record (and sometimes replace) live instruments and vocals, crafting a fun, personal journey through the album.  Fans of funk, hip-hop and electronic music alike will all find what they’re looking for on Stay The Course.

Similarly, the album art, by graphic designer Mike Lunde is an attempt to encapsulate these personal experiences and questions surrounding the theme of duality,  He combines natural photographs of mountain ranges and juxtaposed images from around the Pacific Northwest, where the group is based out of.  Lunde sums it up perfectly, “What I did was I took an image from some regional mountains and kind of twisted them together, as if to make them appear stronger, working together.  I went with the idea that your album has a couple different things pulling it in different directions, you take these elements and twist them all together, to show how they can work harmoniously.  It also signifies bringing together big things in your life, and doing your best to make them all work.  For some people, its twisting work and a balanced lifestyle, for you it’s probably family and music, being gone a lot from your family isn’t easy and you need a strong, connective support system to enable the constant supply and creation of art required to advance in this industry all while finding time to continue to perform and simultaneously taking care of your obligations at home.

Aware of the sample based history of the genre, Willdabeast endeavored to bring collaborative artists into the studio to record, and sometimes replace samples with live instruments and vocals, crafting a fun, personal journey through the album. We were fortunate to have many friends join us from our hometown and from our travels including Matt van den Heuvel (who plays guitar on more than half of the album), Vokab Kompany (San-Diego based hip hop band) and locals Brittany Littke, Sinclair Hucke, Gary Washginton on vocals, Todd Templeton (drums), Matt Taggart (bass), and more.  There is even a cameo from Glazier’s acclaimed father, Dr. Loss Glazier, a published author, tenured professor in new media and owner/operator of the largest poetry database in the world, on the song “Way Back”.
