TEMESGEN

Bio:

Rarely has an artist alias both represented and defined music and identity more accurately than with r’n’b breakthrough TEMESGEN (“be thankful”). Because while music from northern Europe often resonates with melancholic overtones, TEMESGEN’s music trembles with grateful, life-affirming, feverish urban soul. When debut single “Alright” strikes us this spring, the cold gives way to blinding heat. Because this summer we long for something other than gloom. TEMESGEN tips his hat to the authentic fervor of 60’s and 70’s funk and soul, regenerates himself in the intense pulse of urban modernity, and with his unique, vibrant voice he defrosts us from the chill of winter. TEMESGEN’s recipe is as simple as it is effective: with rhythm, heat and soulful desire, nothing can resist his musical thaw. ”Alright” is a first, vital breath of air in what will be a re-defining assertion. Since the early 90’s, TEMESGEN has built a solid foundation as a singer, actor and musical entertainer. In doing so, he has gathered a wealth of impressions, experience and musical independence that is now yearning to be channeled into something lucid and unique. ”Alright” is a shameless projection of TEMESGEN’s persona, an individual statement, where TEMESGEN’s expression both encompasses simplicity and aims to transform physical human sensations to his own melodic language. “Alright” is proof that the stir of the senses – scent, touch, lust – can be translated into tempered soul music. And TEMESGEN promises even more longing declarations soon – his next single is due already in early fall. But this summer, “Alright” is our vessel - the song that conveys the intoxicating freedom of a speeding car on the road to elsewhere, the atmosphere of a night time city skyline, or the liberty of a pumping dance floor. The future is so bright it hurts.
