Bluestaeb Giseke

After the success of his last releases Bluestaeb & S. Fidelity present Underground Canopy" (2020) and the collaborative SHE" (2019) with Harleighblu that combined gained more than four million streams on Spotify alone, Bluestaeb finally returns with his self-titled album GISEKE". While musically this new album merges iconic R&B, funk and hip-hop productions with sharp lyrical contributions by some of 2021's most promising vocalists, such as Mick Jenkins, Ric Wilson, Uno Hype, Jerome Thomas or JuJu Rogers it will be a worthy follow up to his previous Jarkarta releases. Giseke developed all visual concepts, which accompany the project, too: The artworks and videos breathe his passion for the socio-utopian ideas of mid 20th century architecture and design from the likes of Perriand, Aalto and Eames. Furthermore, contemporary fine art found it's way onto the cover through the painting by Minneapolis-based artist Nick Dahlen. GISEKE" brings all of the artist's knowledge, skill and ambition in music and beyond on the table: Various (pop) cultural fascinations, in music and beyond, are referenced on the album.. from Steve Winwood's synthesized soul-pop to the prolific R&B and funk of the late 70s and early 80s, from Teddy Riley's new jack swing to today's neo soul induced hip-hop in Los Angeles and London and all aspects of this album reflect the unification of pseudonymous Bluestaeb and private person Leon Giseke as one.
