That's when Miel de Montagne arrived with his songs and his guitar. A young man of 23 who decides to leave Paris to live with his parents in the countryside. A way to get away from the fantasy of a fast-paced life that he doesn't really like.
On electronic and pop-tinged prods, he now sings about the simple life, the love for girls and for his lifelong dog. Often with very short sentences that come back endlessly like a ritornello.
Funny coming from the son of Marcel Kanche, lyricist for Mathieu Chedid, Vanessa Paradis or Axel Bauer. And at the end of the day, if Milan hears his mother singing what has escaped from the studio, for him the song is validated. Besides, if you think the voice is badly recorded on "Tu n'y connais rien", it's normal: it's his mother who sings directly into the pimp during a family holiday.

Le clip, comme la manière de chanter et de filmer, la musique... me font penser aux années 80. C'est de l'Art.

I’m from The U.S and YouTube just recommended this song to me. Don’t know much French but I know the songs saying something along the lines of “I saw you walking and I said why not” nice little French Synth-Pop song with some electro pop and house music feel.
