Corneille – The Birth of Cornelius

Corneille’s first English album, The Birth of Cornelius, was released on March 10th and combines the classic sounds of soul with the smooth feel of R&B.  Corneille’s gentle voice and subtle tones remind us of a simpler time in music, before it was so weighed down with heavy beats and overpowering, overproduced vocals.

Born in Germany and raised in Rwanda, Corneille escaped back to Germany with his family during the genocide in Rwanda in 1994.  The struggles and life experiences he has gone through are present in his music and give it a depth most artists can’t begin to touch.  He has a positive spirit and quiet modesty that makes him easy for fans to relate to.  Corneille has already released two French soul albums in Quebec and is well known throughout Europe and Africa.  With his new album now available in the U.S., he is able to relate to a new audience and spread his spirit and music to more people.
