Crayon created 'Kill Your Idols' originally as an instrumental piece using his old guitar and a looper/reverse pedal. Lossapardo later added vocals pitched down, reshaping the track while preserving its essence and the message to let go of idols and embrace individuality. The single appears on debut album Home Safe, arriving October 24 via Erased Tapes. Home Safe blends soul, folk, jazz, hip-hop and electronic influences, following singles including a title track with Yamê and JPL (Tora) and 'Diamond Miner' with ELIZA and FKJ. The album grew from Paris Sunday jam sessions and was shaped over three years in Crayon's childhood home, centered on collaborators' reflections on what home means.
"Originally, 'Kill Your Idols' began as an instrumental piece I created using my old guitar and a looper/reverse pedal," Crayon shares. "After some time, Lossapardo sent me a version with his vocals pitched down, breathing new life into the track. It remains true to its initial essence-an embodiment of the message: let go of your idols and embrace your individuality."
Crayon, a prominent figure in the Paris music scene and a collaborator with notable talents like Josman, Dinos, and Prince Waly, is fully stepping into the limelight with this introspective, genre-defying project. The inspiration for 'Home Safe' emerged from vibrant Sunday jam sessions held in a shared Paris apartment, where Crayon and jazz pianist Bastien Brison welcomed musicians and visual artists, fostering a collaborative and improvisational atmosphere that became the album's creative foundation.
