Adèle Castillon - Tournée

Presented by AgapèA. At 24, despite the cheeky youthfulness that frames her brown eyes with a pure, lively sparkle, Adèle Castillon has already lived several lives, both fictionalised and real.

That is more than enough to effortlessly feed the intimate lyrics of a debut album that tells, without pretence, of a first heartbreak and the torments of emotional dependence and dependence in general.

All of it carries the same 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, as dazzling as all first loves, made her want to set up Vidéoclub with her boyfriend of the time.

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 them tens of millions of streams.

A legend was born, completed by a tour and a final video, « SMS  », which mischievously sums up three years of love and announces their break-up. Another artist might have lost herself in it.

But the sequel is one she writes herself, alone, a quiet force despite her acknowledged 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, nourished by impeccable references as varied as the very Generation Z playlist of Adèle Castillon, from Taxi Girl, Suicide, Billie Eilish, Madonna, Beach House, Tame Impala, Chromatics, Miley Cyrus, Daft Punk Lio, Damso, Muddy Monk, Mylène Farmer or Agar Agar.
