After earning his stripes behind the decks in his home country, he quickly took to lighting up dancefloors across Europe and the rest of the world. The past 12 months have seen him play at revered venues such as London’s Corsica Studios, Rex Club in Paris and festivals such as Dimensions, Nuits Sonores, Lost Village and many more.
Folamour truly made his mark in 2017 with the arrival of his debut album Umami. A joint affair between his former label Moonrise Hill Material and Luke Solomon’s Classic Music Company, the record was critically acclaimed, including instant hits ‘Devoted To U’ and ‘Ivoire’, and was streamed over 1 million times within its first 12 months. In 2018, off the back of his album success Folamour put his touch on remixes for legendary artists such as Tony Allen and Nightmares on Wax.
Now living in London, Bruno has been hard at work developing his second LP. Scheduled to arrive in early 2019, it is a project that combines his appreciation for dance floor rhythms and his natural intuition for song-writing. Expect big things in 2019.

Folamour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am still in love, the self is solo
I'm still lettin' by the homophone
Are you out there?
Is it someone I don't know?
Well, I fly
Travelling the galaxy for so long
In this vortex
On this mission all alone
(Da) Can you hear me?
(Da) Are you for real?
(Da) By far you
(Da) Like livin' tale
(Da) See you venture
(Da) Funny how the side
(This is)
The side of a world
Smile like
(Da) Supernova
(Da) Shining so bright
(Da) Constellations
(Da) Right in your eyes
(Da) I can feel you coming alive
(This is)
The side of a world
Smile like
Can't live without you
After all this time
Firm pressure a diamond
To sparkle so fly
Oh, why do I feel so high?
Tell me not to be clear, but is it a lie?
While everything's blurry, thought I saw a fly
Why do I feel so high?
(Da) Can you hear me?
(Da) Are you for real?
(Da) By far you
(Da) Like livin' tale
(Da) See you venture
(Da) Funny how the side
(This is)
The side of the world
Smile like
(Da) Supernova
(Da) Shining so bright
(Da) Constellations
(Da) Right in your eyes
(Da) I can feel you coming alive
(This is)
The side of a world
Smile like
The lyrics of Folamour's song Lost In Space explore the sentiment of being trapped in space, separated from a loved one, and feeling lost and alone. The opening lines "I can't lie, I am still in love, the self is solo" acknowledge that the singer is still in love, but there is an element of sadness because they are alone. The following line "I'm still lettin' by the homophone" serves as a play on words to suggest how the singer wishes they had someone to talk to, but since they are solo, they don't have anyone to communicate with. The next line poses a question to the universe, "Are you out there? Is it someone I don't know?" which highlights the sense of isolation and confusion.
The chorus is filled with electronic beats and synthesizers that evoke a sense of space travel as the singer acknowledges that they have been travelling through the galaxy for so long that they have forgotten the reason for their mission. The lines "Can you hear me? Are you for real? By far you, like livin' tale" suggest the singer is talking to a loved one that they haven't seen in a long time. The lines continue with "See you venture, funny how the side (this is) the side of a world smile like" that suggest they are reminiscing about their shared past.
Overall, Folamour's Lost In Space is an introspective piece that straddles the themes of deep space travel, isolation, and longing for a loved one.
