Greg Fenton reviews Ibrahim Maalouf – Will Soon Be A Woman (Moog Diez Remix) – weoutside Records
It can sometimes be difficult to preserve the musicality that naturally flows through a skilled musician’s expression, especially when incorporating electronic time signatures; you risk losing its primary organic feel in the process. However, Moog Diez’s remix not only captures the sincerity of Will Soon Be A Woman’s core breath but also amplifies it with a lively, energising, and funky rhythm section, injecting much contemporary swing into the mix.
The piece is almost like two halves: the first introduces all the elements — the atmospheric trumpet, drums, and bass — while the second half celebrates everything with an irresistible groove that seeks out temptation and hypnotic, celebratory signatures, with the bassline rising feverishly alongside the joyful fusion of fiery drumming and vocal enhancements. The horns are left to soar freely as intended.
Release: December 12
