INFO

Tales of the Forgotten Melodies is conceived as an orchestral movie between hip hop and downtempo where Tailor hijacks “the forgotten melodies” and tells a story of his own through the sequence tracks. In this large patchwork of numerous influences and multiple references to the seventh art, major names of the twentieth century music – Doris Day, Nina Simone, Bjork – could get a chance to meet Stanly Kubrick, Woody Allen or Alfred Hitchcock.

As for today’s artists, the US hip hop band, The Others (Third Earth Music) appear on the record to offer a tribute to the hip hop culture in which Tailor has been involved for 20 years. We also get a chance to rediscover Charlotte Savary from the French band Clover; already appearing on Tailor’s EP Lost the Way, Savary provides vocals for Tales… track, Our Dance. Finally, Marina Quaisse’s cello runs throughout the entire album and delicately colours it with darker shades of melancholy that intensify the overall coherence of the album.
