Skycall drops brand new single

By day, French musician Fabrice Duval is a pioneering psychiatrist and head of a chronobiology research department, who also channels his energies into music, drawing inspiration from iconic rock artists like Jimi Hendrix. His musical journey has been a winding road, one that’s taken him from bands like N’Kap Koulou and Tax Free to Absinthe Faubourg and recent collaborations with musician Sébastien Leimacher.

His style fuses vintage school rock n’ roll with modern stylings, capturing both his unique experiences and personal convictions. Skycall is Fabrice’s latest project which came to life in 2019 when he reunited with Luc Erwin, former bassist from his Tax Free days. Originally a power trio, the band also included Didier Hoffmann on drums, later replaced by Amanda S. in 2022. While the group disbanded last year to allow each member to pursue personal projects, Fabrice took this moment as an opportunity to bring his solo visions for Skycall into full bloom.

Now, he’s the sole creative engine behind Skycall’s releases, handling all aspects of composition and performance, from vocals and guitars to bass and drums. Working with Alexandros Chrysidis at Sierra Studios in Athens for mastering, Fabrice Duval has unveiled several singles this year, gaining international radio play and a growing fan base.

Bringing us the fourth Skycall single titled “Stop Living With Closed Eyes,” he serves up a powerful statement that underscores his passion for both music and social consciousness. Laying down an energetic rock sound, the track thematically revolves around the pressing realities of modern life. The song draws on a philosophical spark from Gandhi; if humanity could replace the love of power with the power of love, a profound transformation would be possible. In “Stop Living With Closed Eyes,” Duval reflects on how far we still are from this ideal, lamenting how money has become the dominant value, overshadowing spirituality and genuine human connection.

Wrapped up in a grooving rock sound, the track shakes with rhythmic guitar chords and chokes, joined by the steady taps of drums and Fabrice’s compelling vocal leads. Flowing with bursts of pure rock energy capped by catchy vocal hooks and slick lead guitar flourishes, it’s an epic jam that filters his influences from yesteryear through his modern sonic lens.

Brimming with swaggering energy and superb instrumental performance, the track builds with scorching guitar solos, carried by the ever-present crash of drums and pulse of bass. It’s an epic new outing from an enduring artist who continues to impress on the latest chapter of his exciting musical story.
