Biography

F.I.D.E.L (Further Individual Delusions) is the avatar project of Paris-based composer/producer, DIlouya (Omar, Sly Johnson, N’Dea Davenport, Oxmo Puccino etc), UK Funk & Soul Legend, John Turrell (Smoove & Turrell) and French Hip-Hop/Soul major force, Sly Johnson (Sly the Mic Buddha-Saïan Supa Crew). Hailing from Paris and Northern England, F.I.D.E.L pays tribute with Out Of Sight to the great Post-Disco and New Wave pop songs that shaped the world’s collective unconscious at the twilight of the Thatcher/Cold War Era. While most of the musical heavy lifting is done by Dilouya himself, Turrell lays down socially anchored lyrics, rooted firmly in the gritty, no-nonsense world of a working-class man when Sly Johnson lets his soul rip with a gut reaction to 21st century tech-infused populism. This musical connection fused the fun-loving, trouble-making friends and made them explore with irony the paradoxes of their time to produce what will remain as a unique body of work, testifying to the ambivalence of a generation oscillating between social concern and the desire to party! Recorded in Paris, Out Of Sight showcases Dilouya’s timeless songwriting and bold production style, setting the perfect ground for John Turrell’s instant classic vocal performances and Sly Johnson’s revered musicianship. Between delusions of grandeur, social disappointment and fantasized nostalgia, F.I.D.E.L imposes with Out of Sight its ideal for Civilization to a world that ultimately never changes.
