Some songs are like no others, as they offer an instant journey out of your daily routine to send you into an ocean of beautiful sensations. This week, we were more than happy to discover “Etoile Filante” that gave us this feeling, thanks to Soulcare, a band coming straight from Barcelona.
Written by Rodrigo Pahlen and Yann Gaslain in memory of a close friend who died 8 years ago, the song is a splendid ballad performed in French and all in poetry. The group offers a rare musical moment, rocked by jazz, a touch of soul and above all healing melodies: “Etoile Filante” honour music in all its glory.
Thanks to a flawless realization and a production, “Etoile Filante” grabs you with ease, don’t waste a second and dive into it right now :
Let’s discover the band in 5 questions:
Welcome! Can you introduce yourself to our readers ?
Soulcare was born as a result of a personal dream, with the idea of gathering talented musicians all inspired by soul music and Jazz and to enjoy as a band the good music. we also need all a supplement of Soul and to take better care of it with the idea to bring us to a different level and a better place for our heart and Soul!
How did you start to make music and how would you describe your sound?
We started as a response to the covid pandemic and have joined some great musicians of the jazz barcelona scene. The music takes its roots in jazz and soul music but some pop and classical waves are stepping up in in some of our songs.
What is your creative process?
The creative process is built around the great talent of Rodrigo Pahlen together with Yann Gaslain who brings the engine and the passion for producing fine music. Most of the songs are dedicated to someone we love and that makes all the songs productions always a very special moment
Can you tell us more about your latest release “Get over”?
ÉTOILE FILANTE (Rodrigo Paglen & Yann Gaslain) – ESTRELLA FUGAZ / SHOOTING STAR.
This is the new composition and production of Soulcare. Recorded during the past winter at Sol de Sants studio @soldesantsstudios and with another great musical arrangement for the string and winds sections by Rodrigo Pahlen as a music producer.
This song celebrates the life of a dear friend that left the earth some years ago to meet up with the Milky Way and the stars to shine from above. She is still very much with us, around us and pushes us to keep celebrating life with eagerness and passion as she has always lived her life!
This song is full of happiness on purpose and we hope it will light up our days.
