Cézaire’s Attraction EP is abstract – taking funk, contemporary hip-hop, and R&B to a whole different level.

Back in October, we received just a smidge of what Roche Musique‘s founder and artistic director, Cézaire‘s forthcoming album would sound like. Known for his powerful bass signature that aligns perfectly with the sounds of contemporary R&B and soul, it was known very well beforehand that the next release would be something special. If you’re familiar with FKJ [French Kiwi Juice], Cézaire is the source whom originally scouted the renowned French instrumentalist & musician. Discovering Cézaire through his 2016 Seize the Day EP with “Purple Night” being the track in particular that caught my attention initially, seductive pitch vocals and nostalgia-filled samples that clearly derive from old school R&B, hip-hop, funk & house were all components that made him just that much more of an essential piece to my music library.

Cézaire spoke to Complex earlier this year over the EP stating how he felt about the Attraction EP.

This EP is about the theme of attraction and ‘You Came In Time’ speaks about a person, who could be the one and only. Knowing that there are billions of people on the Earth, this song refers to the exact timing that we encounter that person. To me, this second EP is a logical follow-up which falls within my path. Of course, its central theme is attraction, but by that, I refer first to one thing: making your dreams come true.
