Tchami Shares Haunting "After Life" Video From Upcoming EP [WATCH]
French future house star Tchami -- real name Martin Bresso -- has shared his first single in close to a year, and the wait has been worth it. His new single "After Life" has everything fans want from Tchami, with the jogging bass line, open hi-hats and chugging, booming plucks, but it is the rest of the song where the mysterious producer shows his prowess. Tchami shows a level of maturity with this production, incorporating mysterious vocals from Stacy Barthe that ask "Where do I go, in the afterlife / I've got questions, spiritual questions" with long, oscillating builds. The reference to the afterlife and "spiritual questions" is interesting for Tchami because he always performs in priest robes without seemingly to be an overly religious man in any other way.
