Maitre Gims - "À Contrecoeur (Réédition)"

$44.00

Gims is a global superstar, and deservingly so. He does sing and rap in French, so America is ostensibly not interested, but for those who dig music Gims is revelation. An amazing vocalist, blessed with rich deep, smooth, and french baritone, and a naturally good vibe and easy musicality, everybody loves Gims.

“Born in the Congo, Gims moved to France with his family at the age of two. The MC grew up surrounded by music; he's the son of vocalist Djuna Djanana. His first solo single was released in 2006, yet several years passed before he was able to concentrate on his own work. In May 2013, he released his first solo album, Subliminal, which was aided by the chart-topping success of the single "J'me Tire." The set narrowly missed the top spot on France's official SNEP album chart. That all changed with the arrival of album number two, the platinum-selling double-LP Mon coeur avait raison, which reached number one in both France and Belgium. 2018's Ceinture noire was also a success and featured guest spots from a host of artists including Lil Wayne, Sofiane, and Vianney. Transcendence, a reissued and reworked version of the album, arrived the following year and featured contributions from Maluma and J Balvin, Dadju, Vitaa, and Sting.”
