Adele Castillon

Presented by Agapè At 24 years old, despite this brazen youth that bathes her brown gaze with pure and vivid brightness, Adèle Castillon has already lived several lives, fictionalized or real.

Enough to nourish without effort the intimate lyrics of a debut album recounting without mincing words a first romantic break-up, the torments of emotional dependence and addiction to all.

All with the authenticity and poetic freshness that already made irresistible the songs of Videoclip, the electro-pop duo with very 80s nostalgia—Odezenne meets Elli and Jacno—that she formed in Nantes with Matthieu Reynaud, at the age of seventeen.

[…] Still in high school, a first love, as sudden as all first times, inspired her to start Videoclip with her boyfriend at the time.

The clip for "Amour plastique", tinkered together on a shoestring and shared by a Mexican actor from a Netflix series who made it viral, attracted them tens of millions of streams.

A legend was born, completed by a tour and one last clip, "SMS", wickedly summing up three years of love and announcing their split. Another than Adèle Castillon could have gotten lost there.

But what comes next, she writes it, alone, quiet force despite assumed fragilities, and a capricious journey that stands behind the perfectly aligned title of this debut album.

Signed to the music label of Iconoclast, the ultra-creative production company, she found in Surkin, a sharp electro talent as precocious as she, the ideal partner to trace together a new musical horizon, combining the innocence of French pop with a homemade and go-all-the-way spirit, nourished by impeccable references, as varied as Adèle Castillon's very Generation-Z playlist, 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.
