Rawb - Here And Now (Flower Coast Records)

While 'The Beachfront' was threaded with nods to island life, these are more subdued on 'Here And Now', limited to the track 'Sous Les Palmiers'. Instead, an urban vibe prevails, blending elements of (digital) reggae, hip-hop and drum & bass, further reflected in the album's cover design.

On 'The Beachfront', Quentin sang exclusively in English, but for 'Here And Now', he expands his linguistic repertoire to include French and Réunion Creole.

In our review of 'The Beachfront', we noted that Quentin and Thibault drew inspiration from peers like Naâman, Biga\*Ranx, and Jahneration, and with the latter, they now recorded 'Carry On'.

Other guest appearances include Volodia, who features on 'Eternal Life', and Réunion native Maylan Manaza, who lends his voice to the hip-hop-infused 'L'essentiel'.
