Two years after his debut EP, Mickael Karkousse is ready for the big league with his first solo album ‘Hello’. After releasing six records with electro rockers GOOSE - one of the biggest Belgian bands of the 21st century - it took some time for the frontman to find his signature solo sound. He surely hasn’t renounced his love of synthesizers. In addition, the album sounds noticeably more upbeat and richer than the EP. Often, the ‘70s and ‘80s come squeaking in.
