Celebrating a decade of Folamour in 2024, the FHUO Records frontman’s latest work is a nod to the pressure and expectancy-filled early days of his career.
Following the highly acclaimed release of his “Manifesto” album in 2023, French electronic visionary Folamour returns with his first original production of 2024. Set for release on 26th June, “Pressure Makes Diamonds” is another slice of Folamour’s unique fusion of House, Funk and Disco flavours, infused with endless layers of intricate melody and all-absorbing, atmospheric soundscapes - brought together by a masterful introduction of Folamour’s spoken vocals.
Highlighting Folamour’s seemingly limitless depth of creativity and sonic storytelling, “Pressure
Makes Diamonds” also serves as a redolent acknowledgement of the early days of his now
decade-strong career. Remembering the formative heaviness, he felt in the early 2010s, which
helped to shape him into the person he is today, his latest single radiates feelings of passion
and lyrics that speak of perfection - elements Folamour has built into his everyday life as an
artist that has led him to worldwide recognition and beloved appreciation from industry peers
and fans alike.
Inspired by a diverse and accomplished musical background, boasting proficiency in many instruments, including drums, bass, guitar, and percussion, revered French tastemaker Folamour’s career has already featured many notable accolades.
