His musical background ranges from metal to nu-disco. He’s since developed into a confident, singer and songwriter with a wide palette reflecting all the cultural dimensions of his life. Earlier 2015’s EP The King of Anxiety blended raw angular energy, bright African rhythms and subtle R\u0026amp;B into his alt guitar sound, and now La Vie Est Belle \/ Life Is Beautiful takes that sound to louder, more defiant places. It’s what Ilunga calls \"Noirwave,\" which is more of a concept than a specific sound. Inspired by innovators like Mos Def and Kanye and legends like Fela Kuti and Tabu Ley, Noirwave encompasses a \"new African aesthetic,\" plain and simple.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"503","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50566576111912,"sku":"88783201001","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/petite-noir-la-vie-est-belle-l-lp-8783201001","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
