In a world where music often races to keep up with fleeting trends, Angelo Rascool slows the tempo, opens the heart, and delivers something timeless. His new single, “Pourquoi”, from the upcoming 13-track album ‘Réchauffement,’ is a deep, lingering question set to the aching pulse of the blues. “Pourquoi” feels like it’s lived a thousand lives. Angelo’s voice carries the kind of sincerity that can only be born from lived experience. Instead, every note is an invitation to pause, reflect, and truly listen. It’s the kind of track that makes you want to dim the lights, pour a glass of something aged, and let your own unanswered “whys” float to the surface.
While “Pourquoi” is anchored firmly in the blues, it’s impossible to pin Angelo Rascool down to a single box. A true musical polyglot, he sings and writes in English, French, and Fon, weaving cultural threads from Benin to the wider world. This multilingual mastery adds an undeniable richness to his sound, and here, the French lyrics lend an intimate, almost whispered elegance to the emotional weight of the song. “Pourquoi” is also a glimpse into the broader journey of ‘Réchauffement.’ The album promises a fusion of blues, reggae, rock, and world music genres that Angelo inhabits with authenticity. This melting-pot approach strengthens his sound. He speaks their language, each one fluently, each one from the soul.
It’s rare for a song to feel both deeply personal and universally relatable, but “Pourquoi” manages to do just that. It’s a question we’ve all asked at one point, wrapped in melodies that sound like they’ve traveled dusty roads and distant shores before finding their way to your speakers. With “Pourquoi,” Angelo Rascool is offering a piece of himself. And if Réchauffement follows in this track’s footsteps, listeners can expect an album that warms, stirs, and refuses to let go.
