Jean-Michel Rotin est l’un des plus ingénieux artistes de zouk, et est d’ailleurs un des créateurs du Zouk RnB (mélange de zouk lov et de Rnb), style très prisé des artistes de la nouvelle génaration tels que Kaysha, Nichols et d’autres… Jean-Michel Rotin dit « JMR » ou « 69 » (parce qu’il est né en 1969) a commencé à se faire connaître du public avec le groupe ENERGY et le tube « Paket Moun » en 1989.
Il enchaîne ensuite avec « Lè ou lov », son plus grand succès, mais également « Cherylane » et « Séñorita Dieze ». Cette série de tubes le propulse immédiatement au rang de grand espoir du zouk.
Le deuxième album du groupe est donc déjà très attendu, et Jean-Michel Rotin constitue à lui seul une véritable attraction.
Cet album sera aussi son dernier album au sein de Energy. Il apparaît différent, relooké avec les cheveux défrisé et un son novateur particulièrement aprécié du jeune public. L’album est un succès avec des chansons comme « Sof vou », le méga tube « Adié en nou » ou encore « San vou ».
1994 est certainement sa plus belle année jusqu’à aujourd’hui : l’album « Héros » est une grande réussite, avec 9 titres recherchés tant musicalement qu’au niveau des textes. Il se vend à plus de 75000 exemplaires, ce qui est un excellent chiffre pour un album de zouk, (sachant aussi qu’un disque d’or est atteint pour 100 000 exemplaires vendus). Plus de la moitié des morceaux sont des tubes: « Héros », « Un Homme », « Cigaret », « Ella », « Sé Baw » ou encore « My Love ».
Deux ans plustard en 1996, Jean Michel Rotin se lance dans la production sous le label « Stuff Records ». Il sort son deuxième album solo, justement intitulé « Solo ». Le son et les textes sont moins riches que dans ses précédentes apparitions. Le disque est néanmoins un bon album qui lance par ailleurs le fameux Zouk RnB tel qu’on le connaît aujourd’hui avec le tube « Mwen ni to » interprété par Marie-loo Coopen et Jennifer Visenjoux. C’est aussi sur cet album qu’on découvre Kaysha, une des futures stars du Zouk Rnb. Après l’album « Solo », Jean-Michel Rotin sera demandé par de nombreux artistes pour ses talents de compositeur. Tanya Saint-Val, Sonia Dersion et bien d’autres… Il participe également à deux albums du groupe JM Harmony et prouve encore une fois sa grande créativité sur des morceaux tels que « Adan péyi a bondié » et « And I Love her » tous deux de vrais tubes des étés 97 et 98.
En 1998, Rotin sort l’album « PREVIEW » avec un sous-titre énigmatique « Zouk Is dead? » (Le zouk est-il mort?), une question que beaucoup se posent à l’époque tant le zouk manque de créativité et d’inventivité pour se renouveller. Le son de cet album se rapproche d’ailleurs plus du rnb et du rap que du zouk proprement dit.
2002, Rotin effectue des séjours à New York, en Guyane, en Guadeloupe et à Paris pour la préparation de son 3eme album solo qui devrait être intitulé « Nation ». La sortie est prévue sous peu (fin de l’été 2002?). Espérons en tout cas que le très talentueux Jean-Michel « JMR » « 69 » Rotin nous fera passer de bons moments, après presque 5 années d’absence.
Surprise
Jean-Michel Rotin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're going in circles I'm feeling animated
Disarming a bomb don't make a wrong move
One more surprise they detonate it
Why are you making it so Complicated
We're going in circles I'm feeling animated
Disarming a bomb don't make a wrong move
One more surprise they detonate it
Telling me something then you go around spin it
Changing on the subject coming back like its an orbit
Faking the attention and I know you want that babysit
Giving all the orders you could serve em on a tray
Dealing out the cap but I'm really not down to stay
All you wanna do is fuck around and go get laid
Tryna ruin on my legacy you know I got it made
Turn turn turn turn look at your reflection
You got the beauty not the mental you're not making that connection
Everyday I look back I can see a little clearer
All the darkness but the light I see is getting clearer
You can never find me
You can never bind me
Put me in a spell
Not inside a cell
Every Single day I'm inside your mind
Everything I know but I be working on the grind
Why are you making it so Complicated
We're going in circles I'm feeling animated
Disarming a bomb don't make a wrong move
One more surprise they detonate it
Why are you making it so Complicated
We're going in circles I'm feeling animated
Disarming a bomb don't make a wrong move
One more surprise they detonate it
Day by day
I do it one at a time
People see me and they know I'm on that grind
All my brothers see me now I'm souring way to high
Everyday I know that I'm gonna touch the sky
See me Hollywood See me san Diego
Making all the moves and they say I am to fuego
Every single day I know that I be burning way too hot
Making all the moves with everything that I got
You might catch me on the stage with post Malone
Rapping on a platform yeah I won't be alone
Planning with my soul yeah please just let it roam
You don't like the peace, let me feel at home
Why are you making it so Complicated
We're going in circles I'm feeling animated
Disarming a bomb don't make a wrong move
One more surprise they detonate it
Why are you making it so Complicated
We're going in circles I'm feeling animated
Disarming a bomb don't make a wrong move
One more surprise they detonate it
In Jean-Michel Rotin's song "Surprise," the lyrics speak to a sense of frustration and confusion in a relationship. The repeated phrase "Why are you making it so Complicated" suggests that there is a lack of clarity and simplicity in the dynamic between the two individuals. They find themselves going in circles, feeling animated or emotionally charged, as if they are constantly on edge. This is compared to disarming a bomb, where one wrong move can have explosive consequences. The mention of "one more surprise they detonate it" implies that there have been instances where one person has caused unexpected and damaging reactions or conflicts.
The lyrics also touch on themes of deception and manipulation. The reference to "Changing on the subject coming back like it's an orbit," suggests that one person may change the topic or shift their stance on an issue, creating confusion and inconsistency. The line "All you wanna do is fuck around and go get laid" hints at one person's desire for casual relationships or shallow pursuits, which contrasts with the singer's dedication to building a lasting legacy. The mention of "the light I see is getting clearer" indicates a sense of clarity and understanding amidst the darkness and confusion.
Overall, the song portrays a sense of frustration and exasperation with the complexity and instability in the relationship, while also hinting at personal growth and determination to rise above it all.
