Adèle Castillon - Tournée

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

That is more than enough material to effortlessly fuel the intimate lyrics of a debut album that candidly recounts a first heartbreak, the torments of emotional dependency and dependency of every other kind.

All of it carries the 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, which 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 rest is hers to write, alone, a quiet strength despite openly 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 a new musical horizon together, blending the innocence of French pop with a homemade, uncompromising spirit, nourished 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.
