Kris Tidjan’s “Lords of War”: A Soulful Message of Peace and Defiance

The French singer-songwriter Kris Tidjan has released the first single off his debut album, a track that demands attention. “Lords of War” is a soulful and dynamic song that tackles the destructive nature of war, with Tidjan’s signature broken beat jazz riffs and passionate lyrics.

“Lords of War” urges listeners to think critically about the purpose of war and imagine a more peaceful world. The song’s lyrics, “We are the small axe ready to cut them down,” remind us of the individual’s power to effect change. The song’s origins date back to 2005, when Tidjan was inspired to write after hearing a speech from former US President George ‘OG’ Bush.

As a prominent figure in the French music industry for over a decade, Tidjan’s debut album, “Small Axes,” is highly anticipated. “Lords of War” is a robust first taste of what’s to come from this thought-provoking artist.
