Un Digipack

Description

"You know, I fear nothing, except for emptiness, which haunts my tomorrows." No, Malik Djoudi fears nothing, and his first album fills a void in the French music scene. A dandy romantic who is not too sure of himself, evoking Christophe, Sébastien Tellier, and William Sheller, a voice that floats in the air close to Connan Mockasin, a deep melodic intensity that disturbs like Blonde Redhead, an intimacy that James Blake has rediscovered... And words in French that he wields with grace and candor, over a similarly stripped-down electro-pop backdrop. Neither really club music nor simply French variety, Malik Djoudi carves out an electronic song that reconciles the synthetic pop of the 80s with stories of open-heart surgeries. Through the eight songs of "UN," Malik Djoudi makes a stunning entrance into the club of French pop, imposing a French touch that belongs only to him: elegant and vibrant, impressive and fragile. Modern in its conception, faithful to classical instrumentation, Malik Djoudi's carnal pop makes machines weep while speaking of our lives and doubts, all while dreaming of America and great love. Lost paradises exist and are anything but artificial. Malik Djoudi has found them with love and without violence, for he fears nothing. To him belong the beautiful tomorrows.
