Malick Koly continues his streak of evocative storytelling with his latest single, “Eaux Rouges.” A gripping chapter in his upcoming EP, Feel Bad Fest, the track follows the haunting depths of “Dolòr” and the soul-searching tones of “Heaven For Now,” which featured jazz legend Ron Carter and Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid.
“Eaux Rouges” is a sonic slow burn, where Koly’s signature blend of moody instrumentation and introspective lyricism takes center stage. The title, translating to “Red Waters” in French, conjures imagery of struggle, sacrifice, and emotional weight. His artistry drifts between alternative rock, jazz, and post-punk, creating a space where vulnerability and raw energy collide.
From the first note, the song grips you with its eerie atmosphere. Koly’s intricate drum work lays a restless foundation, while the melodies simmer with tension, mirroring the emotional turmoil woven into the lyrics. There’s a cinematic like a fog-drenched night in the city, where memories and regrets swirl together in the glow of flickering streetlights. His voice carries a quiet intensity, pulling listeners into his world, one where pain and beauty exist in tandem.
With Feel Bad Fest shaping up to be a deeply immersive project, “Eaux Rouges” stands as another testament to Malick Koly’s fearless artistry. This is music that lingers, leaving you to wrestle with its echoes long after the final note fades.
