T-Soul Berlin is back with his latest single, "FAME," a gritty track that showcases his new reality following demons from his past. Former lead singer of and multi-gold certified 90s boy band The Boyz (Germany), T-Soul now steps onto the scene, not only as a performer but as an honest-to-goodness advocate who has something to say. Imbued with a shimmy, Saturday Night misbehaving energy; that sexy, snake-hipped cool of 90s soul music and pulsing to a soundscape part-trap-pop, part R&B newness, Paper Foxes have hit the sweet spot for telling tales to come.
In "FAME," he addresses the pain he felt when a former bandmate, Adel Tawil, who left him alone, as T-Soul eloquently describes it, was just behind him in the cold when things were getting hard. That is a wound that has not fully healed, but instead of disguising it, T-Soul uses it as fuel for his music. True to his fashion, he sings with fragility yet defiantly: See the real, speak your truth, and sell your soul.
Partly because it sounds so human, so intimate and specific, but also so universally felt. "FAME" resonates with anyone who has ever gone after a dream, then had to live in the disillusioned world alongside it. T-Soul Berlin ain't playin' no more playing Fame game over here, he's stay telling it how it is on his latest release. Even in a society starving for authenticity, that might be the most radical act of all.
