Apollo

Description

AFTER 2 PREVIOUS EPs AND A NOMINATION FOR "MALE REVELATION" AT THE 2022 VICtoires de la musique AWARDS, CHIEN NOIR RETURNS STRONGER THAN EVER, CONFIRMING HIS UNIQUE MAGIC FORMULA. HE UNVEILS HIS DEBUT ALBUM "APOLLO", FEATURING THE SINGLE "JE VEUX, JE VEUX, JE VEUX". "APOLLO" is Chien Noir's debut album, in which the artist transforms into an astronaut of the pop galaxy, traveling back in time to the 80s and 90s variety music of his childhood. From JEAN-JACQUES GOLDMAN to PHIL COLLINS, including SPRINGSTEEN, DAVID BOWIE, MIKE AND THE MECHANICS... These influences are evident in both the production and the songs, infused with the same spirit and ambition as that era: for the music to resonate, resonate, resonate! And to stir our emotions. Chien Noir tells tales of love, friendship, departures and reunions, exhilaration and melancholy – all the elements that make up our lives. Like a grand coming-of-age story, an eternal new beginning where writing becomes "a formidable prism for seeing through oneself." This introspection is made possible by an accessible, warm pop sound structure. The twelve tracks, enriched by the path already paved by Chien Noir's two EPs, benefited from the contributions of LIONEL BUZAC, keyboardist MARTIN LEFEBVRE, and TRISTAN SALVATI. From the melancholic minimalism of "DANS LES YEUX LE MONDE" to the auto-tuned dance of "JULIA," from the eighties R'n'B of "OVILDO" to the Anglo-Saxon-style mid-tempo of "SI J'ÉTAIS TOI," from the folk ballad "RIEN À VOIR" to the spacious, hip-hop-tinged pop of "TON COEUR"... The artist's vocals are more confident than ever.
