Chilly Gonzales

Add Date: June 21 

Artist: Chilly Gonzales 

Album: The Unspeakable Chilly Gonzales 

Label: Arts & Crafts 

Genre: Hip hop 

Comments: From the promoter: "Chilly Gonzales warned us of rap with 'No Beats' in 2000 (The Entertainist). Since then, he created the all-piano rap mixtape Pianist Envy and Solo Piano fan Drake hand-picked Gonzo to accompany him on stage. Today, he brings some 'Gonzpiration' to the rap game. Accompanied by Hollywood swells, tympani rolls, noble French horns, hypnotizing bells and influenced by Prokofiev, Morricone and Philip Glass among others, this record is Chilly Gonzales' 'professional confessional', revealing more of himself on these monologues than ever before. Accompanied live by a chamber orchestra, Chilly Gonzales will explore the idea 'ofwhatamodernmaestrois'. The arrangements by his Hollywood film-composing brother Christophe Beck, take center stage alongside Gonzo's eccentric personality."

Try out (clean) tracks 1, 8, 10 and 11.
