Description:

Jinte Deprez embarked on his second solo album, under is moniker J. Bernardt, with a vivid image in his head: The main character is a John Lennon wannabe who wants to play Twin Peaks. In the background, Tarantino waves a Tchaikovsky record at the film composer and shouts, Make it viciously romantic!, I dont know if it turned out that way. Despite the whimsical imagery, the album, titled \”Contigo\” (Spanish for \”with you\”), emerged as a serious endeavour, serving as a therapeutic outlet for Deprez to navigate the aftermath of a long-term relationship breakup. Contigo delves into the emotional rollercoaster of heartbreak, exploring stages from shock to acceptance with a blend of drama and sophistication.

Contigo draws on a diverse range of influences, including pop, soul, funk, and Spaghetti Western soundtracks, reflecting Deprez\’s love for artists like Serge Gainsbourg or Ennio Morricone. The album serves as a soundtrack for lost and wounded lovers, narrated with both heartache and resilience, capturing Deprez\’s personal journey with a blend of melancholy and humor. Through Contigo, Deprez channels his feelings into a rich and multifaceted work, revealing his vulnerabilities while showcasing his exceptional skill set as a singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer. The album\’s exploration of life\’s complexities extends beyond mere romantic loss, touching on broader themes of self-discovery and introspection. Tracklist: 1. Rio2. Taxi3. Dont Get Me Wrong4.
