In the ever-evolving landscape of music, certain artists stand out for their talent, unique stories, and multifaceted identities. Théo GOUDE is one such artist. A Franco-Korean-American musician currently based in Seoul, South Korea, Théo has captivated audiences with his eclectic sound, deep lyrical content, and profound personal journey. After a three-year hiatus, he returns with his new album, “Music To Walk To,” which promises to be a transformative experience for both the artist and his listeners.
Théo GOUDE’s life is a tapestry of diverse cultural influences. Born with Franco-Korean-American heritage, he has spent his life traversing different continents and absorbing various musical styles. His experiences in France, the USA, and South Korea significantly shaped his sound, making it a rich blend of genres, including Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B, and Alternative Rock.
Théo’s music is not just about entertainment; it expresses his heritage, his feelings of being an outcast, and his observations of the world around him. His drive to create is fueled by a desire to articulate these complex emotions and experiences through his art.
After a period of self-discovery and artistic exploration, Théo GOUDE is back with “Music To Walk To,” an album that serves as an ode to himself, the past years, and everything heavy on his heart. This album marks the first part of a trilogy that aims to encapsulate Théo’s musical skills, stories, and various facets of his identity.
“Music To Walk To” is a mini-revolution against the normative musical standards that have recently dominated the industry. The tracks are unapologetically long, filled with profound lyrics and vast musical moments. The album features a collaboration with French trumpeter Roy Markson and includes hidden background vocalists on certain tracks, adding layers of depth to the auditory experience.
One of the standout tracks from the album is “Somebody,” a song that Théo GOUDE has entirely self-produced. Written and produced by Théo himself, the track delves into the concept of “superhero syndrome,” exploring the duality of wanting to save the world while grappling with personal limitations.
The music video for “Somebody” is a visual treat, showcasing two facets of Théo’s personality. Directed, written, edited, and partially shot by Théo, with additional shooting by Koh Jeong Ju, the video portrays the contrast between Théo’s superhero self, who yearns to save the world but ends up sad and deceived, and his “actual” self, who understands that rushed emotions solve nothing.
Throughout his career, Théo GOUDE has collaborated with various artists, including Cumulus, D’Lourdes, Olga Kiav, and Roy Markson. These collaborations have enriched his musical style, allowing him to experiment with different sounds and techniques. His interdisciplinary approach to music is evident in the complexity and depth of his compositions, making each track a unique listening experience.
Although currently based in Seoul, Théo GOUDE plans to expand his audience to the countries that shaped him—France and the USA. He aims to connect with fans across these regions and share his music and his story with a broader audience.
His album, “Music To Walk To,” which will be released on May 26th, marks the beginning of what Théo describes as his “rebirth.” This album signifies a return to his musical and personal roots and sets the stage for the next chapter in his artistic journey.
