Cavale - Cowboy Mouth EP (2024) Hi-Res

The project of the musician from Lyon has managed to find a comfortable place in the industry thanks to her absolutely distinguished and committed musical universe, allowing her to open for Bandit Bandit or even Noga Erez and Jungle. Water has flowed under the bridge and the time has come for her to strike very hard with her successor entitled Cowboy Mouth.

We will have to expect a 90° turn for Cavale in order to really surprise us. The singer-songwriter, producer and arranger from Lyon (accompanied by her sidekick Johan Putet) lets herself be carried away by slightly electronic and hip-hop influences without ever straying from her rock base which revealed her. This musical revival is all the rage from the first notes of the rhythmic “One Step” where she sings about love before delivering a very profound message under the backdrop of irresistible percussion. Following this, Cavale sings both her vulnerability and her feminist commitment on hard-hitting anthems with instrumentations more meticulous than ever and signed by her own care such as “READYREADYREADY” and “Worst Case Scenario” defying ageism and ambient misogyny in this patriarchal society that it seeks to destroy. After a “What A Fact” co-written with Marsène Larsen and co-composed with the help of Hugo Herleman of Bandit Bandit which also has something worthy of the Montpellier duo (and we are even surprised not to hear the voice of Maëva moreover so the universe of the duo is well impregnated on this title) always as irresistible denouncing the diktats of our society, Cavale signs a punchy comeback proving that she does not have her tongue in her pocket on this much more detailed EP. Many should take note.
