Aged 24, and despite that insolent youthfulness which lends her brown gaze a pure, lively sparkle, Adèle Castillon has already lived several lives, fictional or real. Enough to feed, effortlessly, the intimate lyrics of a debut album that recounts, without embellishment, a first heartbreak, the torments of emotional dependence and of dependence in the broader sense. All of it with that poetic authenticity and freshness that already made the songs of Vidéoclub irresistible, the electro pop duo with a very 80s nostalgia – somewhere between Odezenne meets Elli et Jacno – which she formed in Nantes with Matthieu Reynaud at the age of seventeen.

[…]While she was still at school, a first love, dazzling as all first loves are, made her want to set up Vidéoclub with her then boyfriend. The video for "Amour plastique", cobbled together with whatever was to hand and shared by a Mexican actor from a Netflix series who made it go viral, brought the pair tens of millions of streams. A legend was born, completed by a tour and a final video, "SMS", which neatly sums up three years of love and announces their break-up. Another woman in Adèle Castillon's place might have got lost in it. But what follows is hers to write, alone, a quiet strength despite openly admitted fragilities, and a bumpy path that takes shape behind the perfectly aligned title of this debut album. Signed to the music label of Iconoclast, the ultra-creative image production company, she found in Surkin, a sharp electro talent as precocious as she is, the ideal partner to chart together a new musical horizon, combining the innocence of French pop with a homemade, uncompromising spirit, fed by impeccable references as varied as Adèle Castillon's very Generation Z playlist: Taxi Girl, Suicide, Billie Eilish, Madonna, Beach House, Tame Impala, Chromatics, Miley Cyrus, Daft Punk, Lio, Damso, Muddy Monk, Mylène Farmer or Agar Agar.
