VIRAGES

Description

French pop that flows with tact, class, and splendor, navigating the richest emotions. Pépite is a duo, an adventure that began in 2009 when Édouard and Thomas met on a beach. Their music is also a meeting point, a collision of French chanson, America, and Jamaica. Thomas sings and writes, most often "from imprecise memories." Édouard contributes backing vocals and his passion for new sounds. After the EPs Les Bateaux and Renaissance, their first album Virages confirms the richness of their pop. A pop that flows with tact, class, and splendor, navigating the richest emotions. Pépite's songs carry both the sublime and the solitary, bliss and weariness, wonder and torpor, as if they were all written and recorded in the exact interstitial space that follows – or precedes – happiness.
