French-born, UK-based keyboardist Wally Badarou has long been a quiet architect of modern music, from Compass Point Studios sessions with Grace Jones and Gwen Guthrie to defining Balearic and synth-pop with his solo work. This latest release draws from pieces first developed in 2001, where he now adds his own vocals and lyrical reflections over the lush instrumentals. Tracks such as 'Simple Things' and 'The Lights Of Kinshasa' showcase Badarou's shimmering synth textures and fluid runs, while 'Pearls' drifts with a soulful, meditative grace. It's rare to hear him step forward as singer, yet the intimacy suits the material and brings a new warmth to his layered production. Both archival and newly reborn, it's a glimpse of a pioneer still reshaping his legacy.
