Feldup has just turned 18, and his maturity and talent, surprising in someone so young, will leave many in awe. Written, composed and recorded over a period of nine months, his album “A Thousand Doors, Just One Key” is much more than a first try. Beforehand, the self-taught musician had recorded close to nine albums, patiently going through a process of research, experimentation, questioning and appropriation of the tools offered to him. His compositions are pop/rocks hymns and solitary celebrations that beg to open up to the world. The piercing guitars of first single “Falling Apart”, its syncopated rhythm, its crazy atmosphere are a wonderful illustration of his thoughtful writing. This track is an ode to imbalance, as if the only reaction to pessimism was an outlet dance.

The young musician confidently wears his influences on his sleeve. Everyone will recognize them. Through these titles, we perceive the tribute paid to his illustrious predecessors. And this tribute, this recognition are the tangible signs of an astonishing maturity. Read more on Last.fm.
