New video: conscious funk & soul has Wolfgang Valbrun asking ‘Where Is The Peace’

Artist: Wolfgang Valbrun

Title: Where Is The Peace

Label: Jalapeno Records

Genre: Funk/soul/R&B/jazz

Digital release date: OUT NOW

Having dropped his debut ‘Love Yourself’ EP in late summer 2023 – gaining support from BBC 6 Music and LA’s KCRW – Wolfgang Valbrun builds on the spokesman address ‘Almighty $$’ with the slower and more reflective ‘Where Is The Peace’

‘Where Is The Peace’ is inspired by the riots in France and the antagonism of the authorities towards minorities in his adopted country. It’s a protest song against institutional racism and social injustice, making a powerful call to take a stand. Wolfgang’s band turn in a lower, meaner groove aware of the subject matter, building to a crescendo as Wolf’s vocal builds from a plaintive cry to an angry scream

American singer-songwriter Wolfgang Valbrun continues in the footsteps of US soul greats. After moving from New York to France in his teens he found favour on the Paris circuit, before being recruited as lead singer of avant-garde UK soul and jazz band ephemerals. With ephemerals he toured the world and attracted a fervent following (earning many millions of streams), also performing and writing for French hip-hop and soul legend GUTS, after a chance meeting when they played the same stage at Glastonbury

Building towards next month’s release of his debut album ‘Flawed By Design’, Wolfgang promises a powerful and introspective look at human frailty, musically straddling the lines between soul, jazz, R&B and rock
