1) There i… Read Full Bio ↴There are several artists operating under the name Bijou:
1) There is no artist today who is more synonymous with G-House than BIJOU. The “G” is short for “gangster” and BIJOU is nothing less when he’s on the decks or in the studio. His is a sound that is sleek and stylish. Understated but still packs a real punch.
BIJOU, real name Ben Dorman, came out the gate swinging when he dropped his debut collaboration with Dr. Fresch, “Hello,” in 2016. Since then, the output of top notch, dance-floor-rocking music hasn’t slowed down one bit.
Singles like “Crown” feat. Tyler Graves and “Floetry Remix” feat. Ro Ransom along with EPs like Gangsta Party and Super Phat put him the position to embark on two headlining US tours and start his own label, Do Not Duplicate Records (DND RECS) which has hosted releases from fellow gangsters like Nostalgix and Wenzday.
All of this momentum that cruised with the flair and glamor of a pimped-out lowrider culminated in Dorman’s debut album, Diamond City, which served as an ode to his hometown of Phoenix, Arizona. The fiery sun that defines the city is packed into all of the impressive 15-tracks across the release.
The album also features a slew of maddening collaborations like, “Benjamins” feat. Wifisfuneral, “FTP” feat. Denzel Curry, “Baller” feat. Cuban Doll, and “WHOA” feat. Party Favor. It’s hard to believe there is so much gangster in one album, but if anyone is able to pull it off it’s BIJOU, and there will be plenty more G-House to come in the future.
2) Bijou is a rock French band, formed in 1976, that played in the punk festival of Mont-de-Marsan in the summer. They played a couple of songs live with Serge Gainsbourg in 1979, which made him want to play live again (he had not played live since 1964). They split in the early 80s, & made several come-backs since then.
3) Bijou is a Hungarian downtempo/chill-out band, which was formed in 2003. They have a minimal sound accompanied by the airy vocals of Szilvia Hártó, who's writing her own lyrics. Members of the band are: Zoltán Asztalos on drums, Leó Menyhárt on the guitar and András Koroknay on the bass guitar. The authentic flavour of their music is quite new to the Hungarian music scene – thanks to them, this blank point is now finally filled.

Les Papillons Noirs
Bijou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De tout son cœur on aimerait
Que disparaissent à jamais
Les papillons noirs
Les papillons noirs
Les papillons noirs
Les autres filles te séduisent
Attirent au cœur de la nuit
Les papillons noirs
Les papillons noirs
Les papillons noirs
Aux lueurs de l'aube imprécise
Dans les eaux troubles d'un miroir
Tu te rencontres par hasard
Complètement noir
Complètement noir
Complètement noir
Alors tu vois sur ta chemise
Que tu t'es mis tout près du cœur
Le smoking des temps de rigueur
Un papillon noir
Un papillon noir
Un papillon noir
Un papillon noir
Un papillon noir
Un papillon noir
The lyrics of Bijou's song, "Les Papillons Noirs," convey a sense of melancholic longing and desire for escape from a deep emotional pain. The song opens with the line, "At night, all sorrows become grey," and suggests a desire to disappear into the night and leave all emotional burdens behind. The repeated line, "The black butterflies," could be interpreted as symbolizing the negative, haunting feelings that one cannot seem to shake.
The second verse introduces the idea that other women may try to seduce the singer's love interest. However, their allure and beauty are temporary and fleeting, represented by the "jewels" that attract the black butterflies. This suggests that the singer's emotions are deeper and more meaningful than any temporary physical attraction.
In the final verse, the singer describes a chance encounter with their reflection in a "troubled" mirror at dawn. They see themselves "completely black" and realize that they have been marked by the sadness represented by the black butterflies. The ending lines describe a black butterfly landing on the singer's shirt, which can be interpreted as a symbol of the singer's own pain and sorrow following them everywhere they go.
Overall, "Les Papillons Noirs" is a poetic portrayal of deep emotional pain and the desire to escape it, highlighting the haunting, lingering effects of sadness even in moments of beauty or happiness.

Bijou était un groupe pour les initiés, ils étaient différents de Téléphone, qui était un groupe plus médiatique. Ce qui n’empêchait de les retrouver tous dans Best et Rock n’ Folk et aussi dans l’émission Chorus le dimanche matin sur A2. Ils ont tous contribué à l’épanouissement du Rock Français.
