You know you’re listening to Romain Gutsy when there is an idiosyncrasy in the sound. Not just the sound, the lyrics and the whole composition of his character and music. Like a singer-songwriter version of Zappa. This is a musician who has lyrics never dreamed of before, through melodies never thought of before. This is his latest single, I’m James Bond.
The playful song has a real amount of class to it. You have to understand, the Bond films have a certain mouthfeel to all their songs. They also dictate how the incredible credit rollout will happen. Romain Gutsy challenges that with his averment on the title. He might not be Daniel Craig, but he’s a secret agent through melody. With Marc Bentel, he creates a tasty groove, controlled in rhythm by the bass. It is something that is a meta-parody, as the roots of the secret agent are looked at. Yes. That is one perspective they haven’t looked at in over 50 movies. The tone changes, it has an upbeat salsa swing to it. Layering catchy instrumental layers as well, he creates a song that seems to be a gift from the heavens. Thank god, Romain Gutsy controls the gifts us mortals get.
His album Numero 2 is out now, and it is full of snappy, classy music like this. It is like watching a genius meditate on a problem, only that music is an extension of him. I’d like to see this in a movie where Romain reprises the British spy. A musician by day, spy by night? Yes please, this will be a delight. Follow him for more music like this!
