More recently, he captivated his audience by unveiling his latest single, “La Chute des Anges” (The Fall of Angels). This track, deeply rooted in contemporary rap with American influences, showcases Sage Pee‘s ability to elevate lyrics to a rare level of intensity. Through a storytelling approach that is introspective, existentialist, and richly vivid, he masterfully navigates metaphors and allegories to bring a poignant inner struggle to life.
Sage Pee brings “The Fall of Angels” to life with remarkable intensity!
The musical production of this track is credited to the talented Pee Magnum, an experienced beatmaker. Renowned for his high-profile collaborations, he has previously worked with Luidji on iconic tracks such as “488”, “Christian Dior”, “Veuve Clicquot”, and “Agoué”. For “The Fall of Angels”, Pee Magnum relies on a few piano notes to create a melancholic and immersive atmosphere. This soundscape provides the perfect backdrop for Sage Pee, who oscillates between rap and slam, delivering abstract yet powerful lyrics that convey profound inner pain.
The artist stands out with a pen that is both poetic and striking, as reflected in these memorable lines:
- “Substance in my blood, my demons are reborn, I want the world and its gold / When my demons are reborn, I want the world, the gold, and the biggest packs”
- “Mom, look at what your son has become / He’s veered off, roamed, and dabbled in countless vices / I’ve lost my angel, I’m listening to what you sing / When did your heart turn to ashes?”
The accompanying music video, with a near-cinematic quality, was directed by Shauni Ahouma. In this captivating visual, Sage Pee plays the role of a tormented man tasked with the grim duty of burying a body. True to the spirit of the track, the artist skillfully blends raw realism with poetry, delivering a work that is both gritty and deeply moving.
