STEVE IBRAHIM
Lately we’ve been spending time listeningto Steve Ibrahim‘s music. A French artist who’s been quietly shaping a sound that feels honest, grounded, and very much of the present moment. His music often starts simple. Voice, guitar, space, and then slowly opens up. Nothing feels forced or overproduced. There’s room to breathe, room to feel. It’s raw, but never unfinished. Familiar, without relying on nostalgia. Steve started making music young, moving through rehearsal rooms and small stages, and you can hear that closeness in his songs. There’s a lived-in quality to the way he writes like he’s talking with you, not at you. Tracks like Le Bleu du Ciel or Le mur du salon feel intimate and reflective, the kind of songs that unfold over time rather than demanding immediate attention. What we like most is how present his music feels. It’s not trying to recreate the past or chase a trend, it sits firmly in now, drawing from emotion, memory, and quiet moments. The kind of music you put on while walking, sitting, or just letting your thoughts wander. If you’re open to discovering something new, something raw, thoughtful, and unpretentious, take some time with Steve Ibrahim.
