In 2013, Adélaïde Chabannes posted an ad on EasyZic, a social network for musicians, to which Raphaël Faget-Zaoui replied.
They met in Paris in the Pigalle district. During this meeting, the 17-year-old guitarist-cellist played Jimmy by Moriarty. They decided to form a band and rehearsed on Sundays, first singing songs in English before choosing to sing in French, inspired by bands like La Femme and Fauve2. The band's first name was Milky Way, but it was renamed Therapie Taxi in June 2016 with the arrival of two new members: Felix Gros on guitar and keyboards and Renaud Bizart on drums (also met through EasyZic)
Their first single as Therapie Taxi was Salop(e). This song was a big hit on the internet7 and several record companies were interested in the band, and finally Panenka Music signed them to a contract.
Hit Sale (2017-2019)
In March 2017, they released an EP6. They perform on stage in small provincial venues and in festivals6, such as Rock en Seine. They released a first single from their future debut album, Coma idyllique3. It was followed by Hit Sale featuring Roméo Elvis, which was the most listened-to track on the new talent playlist on Spotify3 and reached number 18 in France and number one in Belgium. It will be certified in Belgium and France as a golden disc.
On 2 February 2018, they released their first album Hit Sale. They celebrated this release with their first concert in a large venue, at La Maroquinerie in Paris6. From March, they started a tour to promote their first album accompanied by two new members: Vincent on guitar and Ilan on drums. In addition to this tour, they performed at several festivals. They were one of the nineteen artists to record a cover version for the first album produced by the Deezer platform. They sang Aline by the singer Christophe. On 16 November 2018, they released Hit Sale Xtra Cheese the reissue of their album with eight new tracks and two remixes by Yuksek and Contrefaçon.
In 2019, they finish their spring tour at the Zenith in Paris, and they perform at the Scène Bagatelle at Solidays and the Scène de la Plaine at Garorock on their summer tour. On 29 August 2019, at the end of their Poitiers concert, the band announced that their "Hit Sale" tour was over and that Vincent Duteuil and Ilan Rabaté (the musicians who had accompanied them throughout the tour) were officially part of the band.
Cadavre exquis and separation (2019-2021)

Therapie TAXI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tu sais moi j'ai jamais fait tout ça
Mais c'est ton corps qui bouge lentement
Tes yeux qui me toisent brûlants
Je veux ton amour, rien
Te montrer mes seins
Lécher ta peau seule
Même si c'est banal
Viens, viens touche mon corps
Viens, crie encore
Là jusqu'à l'aurore
Je t'imagine quand tu m'mets dehors
Tout est si tigresse autour de toi
Viens, enfuie toi loin avec moi
Tu sais ta peau qui brille maintenant
Ta langue comme démaquillant
Je te veux gourmand
Au milieu des champs
L'être antisocial
Ou une femme fatale
Viens, viens touche mon corps
Viens, crie encore
Là jusqu'à l'aurore
Je t'imagine quand tu m'mets dehors
Viens, viens touche mon corps
Viens, crie encore
Là jusqu'à l'aurore
Je t'imagine quand tu m'mets dehors
Sur le béton j'apprends à rêver
Plus jamais qu'on stoppe pour aviser
Ton corps en arrière pour ne plus saigner
L'sol à l'envers, ma tête enfumée
Sur le béton j'apprends à rêver
Plus jamais qu'on stoppe pour aviser
Ton corps en arrière pour ne plus saigner
L'sol à l'envers, ma tête enfumée
Viens, viens touche mon corps
Viens, crie encore
Là jusqu'à l'aurore
Je t'imagine quand tu m'mets dehors
Viens, viens touche mon corps
Je t'imagine quand tu m'mets dehors
Viens, viens touche mon corps
Je t'imagine quand tu m'mets dehors
Viens, viens touche mon corps
Je t'imagine quand tu m'mets dehors
Viens, viens touche mon corps
Je t'imagine quand tu m'mets dehors
The song "Cadence" by Therapie TAXI is a seductive and provocative track that speaks about a passionate sexual encounter between two people. The opening lines, "Sois mis en brume et je te vois, Tu sais moi j'ai jamais fait tout ça" roughly translate to "Be shrouded in mist and I see you, You know I've never done all this," hinting at a sense of excitement and anticipation in exploring new sexual experiences with a partner.
The lyrics go on to describe the physical characteristics of the partner, with lines like "Tes yeux qui me toisent brûlants" ("Your burning eyes that challenge me") and "Ta langue comme démaquillant" ("Your tongue like a makeup remover") painting a vivid picture of the sensuality of the encounter. The chorus emphasizes the desire for physical touch and ecstasy, with the repeated phrase "Viens, viens touche mon corps, Viens, crie encore" ("Come, come touch my body, come, scream again").
The bridge, "Sur le béton j'apprends à rêver, Plus jamais qu'on stoppe pour aviser, Ton corps en arrière pour ne plus saigner, L'sol à l'envers, ma tête enfumée" ("On the concrete I learn to dream, Never again stop to think, Your body in the back to stop bleeding, The ground upside down, my head in a haze") adds a touch of darkness and grit to the song, suggesting that the passionate encounter may have taken place in a less-than-ideal setting and that it may not be a long-lasting relationship.
Overall, "Cadence" is a bold and sensual song that explores the physical and emotional aspects of a passionate sexual encounter.
