This track, set to a Drum’n’Bass rhythm, celebrates existence. By borrowing the title from a film by Roberto Benini, which is nevertheless tinged with pessimism, Illumin8 manages to infuse a message of positivity and hope. The music, composed by the talented German producer Intrawebproducer, is both original and captivating. By blending elements of Drum’n’Bass with a purely rap style, Intrawebproducer demonstrates remarkable mastery, pushing the boundaries of musical conventions.

The producer contributed to the creation of “End it All” by Jack Raven and the track “Let Me Know” by Smokeoutcigarette. His production is truly original, merging elements of Drum’n’Bass in a distinctly rap context. Both artists are known for their ability to create striking rhythms. Similar experiments have been conducted in French rap, such as Youssoupha‘s incorporation of a dubstep sample in his track “La Vie est Belle.” In this work imbued with optimism, Mächy and Illumin8 reconnect with the essence of life. This approach, unique in a musical landscape often dominated by superficial themes, brings a welcome freshness. By eschewing ego trips and materialistic clichés, these Swedish artists address simple yet profound subjects, unveiling a perspective rich in nuances. In a context where obscurantism is gaining ground, casting its shadow over Europe and the world, this engaged artistic approach takes on particular importance. “La Vie est Belle” is not just a track; it’s a manifesto for resilience and positivity. This promising first extract announces an album that promises to be powerful and inspiring for the year 2024.
