Charlotte Adigéry – Bear With Me
Charlotte Adigéry’s swet Bear With Me is taken from Foundations compilation album out 7 May via DEEWEE, the label of Soulwax and 2manyDJs duo Stephen and David Dewaele.
As Charlotte said: - “Bear With Me…” is about both isolation and connection. A beautiful statement of life in this strangest of eras, its fractured disco production and soul-baring lyrics, conceived and created by the Caribbean-Belgian artist with partner Bolis Pupul in lockdown, speak of the intimacy and vulnerability of confinement. “Bolis and I are storytellers, writing observational tales about the strange world we all inhabit.” says Adigéry, “Bolis and I are making a time capsule, writing songs that tell the story of life in 2020. We believe 2020 has been such a cornerstone for the 21st century. This song is about being confined thus confronted to the way we live. The cruel irony of having theprivilege of standing still, questioning and observing my life in all safety while others are fighting for theirs. ‘They say there’s dolphins in Venice’ is a symbol for the times we live in. An internet hoax that gave people hope. A naïve hope for a utopian future, now that we’re all locked in our homes. A sign that we are all aware of the negative impact we have on the planet but still seem to remain paralyzed. On the other hand the song is about not being able to run away from yourself and being confronted with your relationship to yourself and others. Not hovering from one busy schedule to another, never looking back." -
