Blundetto released two reggae driven new singles âSunday in the Clubâ and âFly Highâ feat Hindi Zahra, the first two singles from his forthcoming new album âGood Good Thingsâ (Heavenly Sweetness). Itâs exactly 10 years after his critical acclaimed debut album âBad Bad Thingsâ, it looks like that all that bad things turned into good things for talented French producer hidden under Blundetto name. Itâs Max Guiguet, French DJ, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. His production sometimes is more Reggae-oriented, sometimes it brings you directly to a Jazz club in Paris.
Watch the video to Blundetto new song âSunday in the Clubâ the first single from his forthcoming new album âGood Good Thingsâ below:
Some of his usual collaborators joined him on this album: Marcos Garcia aka Chico Mann (Antibalas), Hervé Salters aka General Electrics, and Moroccan singer and actress Hindi Zahra, who sang two songs.
"But for me reggae is the soul. It's a Jamaican soul, that's all. Besides, reggae, originally, in the 60s and 70s, it was only covers of soul standards taken over in Jamaican style. I'm not connected to Rastafarianism or green-yellow-red. I feel more concerned with major universal themes: what touches me is when these voices sing the love, heartache, that sort of thing ... It's the common thread of all these pieces: it's soul ", Blundetto explained his love to reggae and biggest inspiration.
