Lyrics :

I'm on myself, lying around
I'm mad to myself for lying around 
I’m in a sinking shape
I ain't thinking straight
But i know this, oh i’ve noticed
 
i talk to myself, i’m making weird sounds
There's not a fly that’s flying around
I'm in a sleeping phase
It’s a pretty day
Oh it’s snowing
Look, it’s snowing

Ça n'a jamais trop été ma tasse de thé
Chaque année la même soirée
Chaque année les mêmes faux sourires
Mais chaque fois un peu plus ridés
Mais cette fois-ci ça peut changer
A fucking christmas miracle
Une avalanche de draps et puis toi
Je nage dans tes bras je suis joie
J'ai l'impression d'être un mélange de Mariah et Jim Carrey
Un petit peu grincheux c'est vrai ouais
Mais tout ce que j'veux c'est toi
Est-ce que ce que tu veux c'est moi ?
Est-ce que ce que tu veux c'est moi ouais ?
Et si c'est le cas, viens sous mes draps
Bitch
J'suis le père noël t'es ma ho-ho-ho
Bitch
C'est pas le froid qui m'a durci ma bûche
J'arrive en traîneau dans la soirée j'abuse
On est que tous les deux mais rien qu'on s'amuse
Toute la journée j'ai rêvé que de ta bouche
De ta bouche

I don't wanna do anything this christmas
I don't wanna be alone like a christmas tree
Please come over and just spend some more time with me
'cause my dad will dress as santa just like every year
Drinking cans and cans and cans of alcohol free beer
Grandpa can't wait for it to be all over
So he can finally go to sleep all sober

Christmas Song (feat. Ici Tim, Joshua Fischer, Odelia Laine & Louis Fillon)

Lyrics :

If you’re not staying
I’m leaving all of this behind
It’s what used to be
Since you got used to me

I have this habit
Of taking what I want
It’s what I had to do
Not what I want to do

(I’ve been too selfish)
Don’t say a word to me, yeah
(I chased the rabbit)
You gave your world to me, yeah
(Things got so tragic)
You saw the worst of me, and now
You’re free
Yeah you’re free, yeah, yeah

You're never there when i call
And I'm scared
I'm upstairs
All day been talking to walls

The colours changed
Since you left me
now it's all in grey
You were my sun
bringing the rays
That I needed
When she was away

Bitch i never sleep
Got ur voicemails on repeat
Why don't you come by side
Why did come up to run up and leave

Now i be scrolling my phone
Hear the screen talk, i'm alone
side to side going back home
When you were my homie
U laughed when she did me wrong
Told me to leave her on tone

Bitch i never sleep
Got your voicemails on repeat
I know we've gone on our own ways
But old days
Been taking the space on my street

Thinking bout old days
You've always
Been special to me
I'm in your hallway, all day
Waiting for you

If you’re not staying
I’m leaving all of this behind
It’s what used to be
Since you got used to me

EAS (feat. BLOU FEET)

fade away
impatient 
look at all
the mess i made
i know

lay here
with me
cause you
found i
left a bitter taste
i know

what if i told you now ?
what if i told you now ?
what if i told you
what if i told you
oh
what if i told you now ?
what if i told you now ?
what if i told you
what if i told you
oh

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU NOW? (demo)

Je n'suis malheureusement pas disponible
Mais vous pouvez me laisser un message
Et je vous rappellerai dès qu'j'ai le temps

Aujourd'hui, t'as un truc
Et demain t'auras un truc
Pourquoi t'as jamais le temps pour moi?

Cette semaine, t'as des trucs
Semaine pro encore des trucs
Pourquoi t'as jamais le temps pour moi?

T'arrêtes pas de m'mettre des plans
Quand on s'parle y'a que des blancs
J'ai la balle t'es sur le banc, hourra
(Hourra)

Profitons du beau temps
Viens on s'fait beau de haut en bas
Déboulons sur-le-champ pour lancer des boules sur des gendarmes

On pourrait aller au ciné, huh
On pourrait aller au dîner, huh
Mais t'as cru j'allais deviner
Tu m'prends la tête tu me fais halluciner

T'es jamais là quand j'veux te voir
Tu m'poses un lapin, ça fait deux fois
Je m'sens con comme bête de foire
J'pense c'est tant pis pour ce soir

Aujourd'hui, t'as un truc
Et demain t'auras un truc
Pourquoi t'as jamais le temps pour moi?

Cette semaine, t'as des trucs
Semaine pro encore des trucs
Pourquoi t'as jamais le temps pour moi?

On peut esquiver ce temps pourrave
Viens chez moi j'ai fait des tempura
Si j'me trompe bah c'est au temps pour moi
Je sens que t'as jamais le temps
Je sens que t'as jamais le temps
Le temps pour moi

Reviens
J'connais plus le code wifi
J'sais plus à quel épisode de la série on est
J'sais que pour toi c'est rien mais
C'est le même plot twist que la saison dernière

On s'est vu tout l'été
On rigolait tout le temps
J'regarde plus la météo
J'préfère être avec toi

Mais t'as plus le temps
Ma bouche tombe comme l'automne
J'nous voyais bien autre part
Assis au fond d'un parc
À deux près d'un océan
Adossés, sur nos séants

Au fond de moi l'orage gronde
Notre histoire dans un autre monde
Autant pour moi j'vais attendre
Plus de programme pour l'instant

Avec toi, là on se laisse plus le temps
L'un sans l'autre le ciel tombe
J'passe mon temps à t'attendre
Je m'entends avec ton répondeur
J'attendrais mais juste une heure
On se verra une autre lune
Quand t'auras une minute, minute

Dis-moi
Pourquoi tu m'dis "à tout à l'heure"?
Je cours vers toi à toute allure, huh
J't'attends toujours, est-ce que t'as l'heure?

Aujourd'hui, j'ai un truc
Et demain encore un truc
Regarde là j'ai fait du temps pour toi

Cette semaine, j'ai des trucs
Semaine pro encore des trucs
On peut essayer ensemble pour voir

On peut esquiver ce temps pourrave
Viens chez moi j'ai fait des tempura
Si j'me trompe bah c'est au temps pour moi
Je sens que t'as jamais le temps
Pourquoi t'as jamais le temps
Le temps pour moi?

Pour moi
Pour moi
Pour moi, moi, moi, moi, moi
(Au temps pour moi)
Pour moi
Pour moi, moi, moi, moi, moi
Pour moi

jamais le temps (feat. Abad & Justine Valès)

Made for Capioca's graduation movie "Try Hard" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWpRdTMjEmM&t=14s&ab_channel=GOBELINSParis

Inspired by Tatsuro Yamashita's work.

Big thanks to Jak Lemonnier for the guitar parts !

Lyrics :

'cause 1 + 1
we make a team
now there’s a million miles between you and me
chasing dreams together
I forgot how important it means
help me please

one by one
step by step
if I could id do it over again
me and you,
I can lose my mind
but I can’t afford to lose my friend

let's fly away
let's fly away
let's fly away

let's fly away
let's fly away
let's fly away

1+1 (From the Gobelins Movie "Try Hard")

Happy 3 years my love, this song is for you ❤️

Lyrics :

Let’s get bubble tea at a new place
Go thrift shopping on a coup d’tête
Fly all the way to Amsterdam and ride some bikes

Listening to Sarah Vaughan while it rains
Drinking hot chocolate soothes the pain
or watch Netflix till someone says “I'm tired”

We love working out next to big sweaty guys
Cry after movies, we got sweaty eyes
I’ll joke about you getting a new haircut

We can play Minecraft together
Build a big house of our own
We’ll hold hands inside my pocket
'cause it’s too cold outside my door

Oh Odelia
Girl you stole my heart
And it’s been beating stronger ever since
I fell for you
“Everybody needs somebody”
You always sing this tune
Oh
Finally looks like
I found the one
I can't believe it's true

I’ll correct you on your grammar
& you'll do the same
I’ll look at you like the proudest parent
When you use my slang (prends toi le L juste)

You lose your phone 'bout twice a day
I know when you are not ok
So let’s change into some comfy clothes
You’ll do your daily Duolingo

It’s amazing your feet never stink
I’ll never know why
You envy me and my hairless body
I envy your eyes

You’re a treasure that found me
I’m so lucky to have you
I’d rather carry all your bags
Just so you don’t have to

Oh Odelia
Girl you stole my heart
And it’s been beating stronger ever since
I fell for you
“Everybody needs somebody”
You always sing this tune
Oh
Finally looks like
I found the one
I can't believe it's true

Odelia ❤️

The beat only. I'm happy about it because we got about 90% of the whole song down in one night. The rest was pretty much just about refining the details, substracting rather than adding, and also moving things around in the structure. I was kind of "showing off" while producing it in front of Ceph kee, maybe that's the reason why I went so fast and did some cool sound design choices : I wanted to impress the dude. I probably wouldn't have done as much it if I was making this alone, just 'cause I'm lazy I'd say.

NARCISSIST (w/ Ceph kee) [Instrumental Version]

Made this little song for Flaque.'s first ever animation project ! 
It's an animated "opening" for Magma & Ororo's Webtoon series "PSEUDO : ROMANCE".

The Webtoon is here : https://www.webtoons.com/fr/romance/pseudo-romance/list?title_no=5310&page=3

We recorded the whole thing in a few hours at Justine's place, we had a lot of fun layering our voices for the "lalala" part at the end.

Lyrics :

1, 2, 3, 4
j’ferme les yeux et j’souris
t’es le chat et moi la souris
faut surtout pas qu’on sache pour qui je soupire

5, 6, 7, 8
pourquoi choisir c’est si dur ?
pourquoi j’hésite si j’suis si sûre ?
dans mon coeur y’a comme une petite fissure

depuis
que j’suis tombé sur ton journal,
mon cœur me dit tout bas
qu’il bat pour toi
même si tu fais tout mal

et puis 
si j’te disais que c’était vrai
que je lisais tous tes secrets
dis-le moi
est-ce que tu m’détesterais ?

quand j’suis là
tu t’éloignes de moi
quand t’es là
je m’éloigne de toi
qu’est-ce que veut mon coeur, dis-moi
j’arrête pas de penser a toi

j’le/la regarde mais il/elle me voit pas
j’arrive pas a savoir c’qui va pas
l’amour c’est grave de l’arnaque
c’est du grand n’importe quoi

Mon Cœur, Dis-Moi (From the Webtoon "PSEUDO : ROMANCE") [feat. Justine Valès]

I started this song more than a year ago. The idea stemmed after listening to a lot of PJ Morton's stuff. I recorded the idea for the topline of the chorus in my voicenotes (October 1st, 2022), and the title of it was "Olga collab???" I knew there and then that I wanted to work with her and that her voice would be perfect for that melody.

In January of 2023, Théo Goude hosted a music camp at his place for a few days and I got to hang out with a lot of musicians in his circle, amongst whom was Olga. I told her about the song idea. She seemed down to do it so I made the beat from scratch really quickly. She laid down some ideas for the toplines for her verse. She told me the Logic bass sounds like shit, so I asked Ajaz (who just finished recording a song with her that day) to play the bassline I wrote on the song. I'm glad he did.

After the camp, working on the song became a long process. Not being physically in the same room with the people you work with makes it really hard to get your ideas across. Gathering the people to work on this song over the months truly felt like gathering the dragon balls. 

I managed to call up some of the musicians I met along the way, POLAZ and Roy Markson (both I have still never met in person !). I would've never been able to play their instruments at their level, and them freestyling over the song just adds that extra fairy dust. 

However, we had a few hiccups, too. Pab the Kid was supposed to have a rap verse on the song (it was the very first thing we ever recorded, he did it the very day I made the beat), but because of some issues we couldn't keep it. I was very sad because his verse is very good.

Olga then gave me the idea of calling up BLOU FEET to see if he would be down to replace Pab. When I proposed the gig to him, he sent me his stems that same night. Honestly, that gave me the energy I needed to pull through.

In the end, we did it. I love how the song came out and I'm glad that we didn't give up on it. We even shot a homemade music video at the same place the song was conceived : Théo Goude's apartment. Enjoy !

The Avengers :

Magical angelic voice of Olga Kiav
Raspy magnetic voice of BLOU FEET
Groovy juicy bassline played by Ajaz
Velvety smooth horn sections by Roy Markson
Playful funky guitar sections by POLAZ
Fun happy little music video by Théo Goude

Lyrics :

Blow the candles
Turn the music on
We ain't waiting for no one
Just you and me now
10 to midnight
I'll be your Romeo
I surrender to your poison
Best believe now

'Cause you got me like a Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
And you just wanna play with my heart
You got me like a Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Right from the start

Je me demande toujours où il est
Malgré mon air désintéressé
Ça me blesse mon ego quand il répond pas
Aucune notif je m'ennuie
Puis je me rends compte qu'il fait déjà presque nuit
Encore une journée où je me fais ignorer

Le cadran m'importe plus trop maintenant
4h30 le bus prend 1 an, fuck
J'attends ton message puis oh non
J'suis high
J'avais peur qu'on s'quitte au printemps
T'avais tort de me prendre pour un ange
J'suis pas le même qu'tes 420 plans
J'suis high

Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
And you just wanna play with my heart
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar

Oh doucement
Elle me dit "Blou, vas-y doucement"
Prends pas tes affaires
Je te le dis terre à terre
On fait nos bails, puis tu fous le camp
Et si jamais t'es sous l'emprise de l'ennui
On pourra retoucher toutes tes envies
Puis tu me rappelleras tant qu'j'suis en vie

'Cause you got me like a Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
And you just wanna play with my heart
You got me like a Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Gom Jabbar
Right from the start

Like a Gom Jabbar
Like
Like a Gom Jabbar
Like a Gom Jabbar
Like a Gom Jabbar
Like
Like a Gom Jabbar
Like a Gom Jabbar

Hamza - Drifté (Cumulus. Remix)

De base BLOU FEET était censé passer chez moi pour dormir, on s'est dit que c'était une bonne occasion de faire du son, peut être pour cook un petit truc pour le Verger. On a pas mal discuté avant de commencer à prod. Je lui ai fait écouter des chansons qui pourraient nous inspirer, et on a commencé à parler de ce qu'on aime dans le R&B, en essayant de trouver un "terrain d'entente". 

On a découvert que ce qui pouvait nous "lier" tous les deux c'est des chansons très lentes, à la Cigarettes After Sex ou John Mayer (BLOU FEET ne connaissait pas "Gravity", c'est ouf). On était très inspiré par "WAISTBIN" de John Robert.

Les paroles sont venues assez vite, et on a pratiquement passé une nuit blanche à record la maquette, juste le refrain (et on a fait le premier TikTok avec). BLOU est revenu la semaine d'après pour finir la chanson, après qu'on ait vu l'engouement qu'a provoqué le TikTok. The rest is history.


Et toi ? Tu ferais quoi pour moi ?

J'changerais les saisons pour toi
J'tuerais sans demander pourquoi
J'avoue t'as raison cette fois

J'avoue j'ai tout fait pour toi
J'brûle et je m'étouffe et j'me noie
Juste dans l'espoir que tu m'vois

Trop tard, j'suis dans tes bras
Chrome Hearts, Maison Margiela
J'suis un naufragé au bord des larmes
Vrillant, tu m'as pris en otage
Y'a pas d'coup de foudre sans l'orage

Baby fais tout c'qui te plaît
De moi, j'suis ton pantin
Tu adoucis mes plaies
Depuis que j'suis avec toi, moi
Moi j'oublie qui j'étais
Je nie tous les faits, yeah
Y'a plus d'signes qui m'effraient

J'changerais les saisons pour toi
J'tuerais sans demander pourquoi
J'avoue t'as raison cette fois

J'avoue j'ai tout fait pour toi
J'brûle et je m'étouffe et j'me noie
Juste dans l'espoir que tu m'vois

Et tu vois mes cernes, mais
Tu t'sens pas concernée par tous mes problèmes
Si j'en avais pas j'aurais pas dit "je t'aime"
Des mauvaises saisons dans mon Jardin d'Eden
Puis je bad toute la semaine
À chaque fois c'est la même

J'pensais t'avais changé
Car tu restais loin de moi
De quoi tu te vengeais ?
Tu m'verras plus dans 2 mois
Comme si tu l'attendais
L'appât tu m'le tendais

J'changerais les saisons pour toi
J'tuerais sans demander pourquoi
J'avoue t'as raison cette fois

J'avoue j'ai tout fait pour toi
J'brûle et je m'étouffe et j'me noie
Juste dans l'espoir que tu m'vois

CORDYCEPS (w/ BLOU FEET)

Lyrics :

ce soir, j’me sentirai mal d’être
comme ça, réuni toutes mes affaires
dans un grand sac, j’suis comme un fichu magnet
j’avance sans foi, dans un grand froid ce soir
comme personne j’suis attiré par le chant des sirènes
je plongerais pour voir leurs bassins de plus près
j’avance yeux fermés, et je prétends me perdre
tout le temps avec toi, pourquoi tu te sens si seule ?

j’dessine des plans qui mènent à ta rue
si tu veux pas m’voir, je dirai qu’c’est la lune
j’crois que c’est les autres qui m’ont eu
tu veux pas qu’j’vois des mannequins, mais les mannequins non plus
t’as eu tant de visages, t’es dans chaque fille que je vois
je deviens misérable chaque fois que j’ai envie de te voir
si ça continue ça fait beaucoup de mauvaises décisions
pour des bons conseils il me faut l’album de l’ex de SZA

pleure pas en pensant à moi
j’mé-
j’mérite pas une fraction d’ton amour, non
la distance, ça me va finalement
dans mes pensées j’t’aimerai passionnément

j’te ferai pas d’chansons parce que je t’aime encore
j’aimerais te parler, mais j’ai tellement d’tords
on n'aura pas eu un seul instant à nous
parfois j’me demande qui manque le plus à l’autre

avec ou sans toi
j’partirai, tu m’as laissé sans voix
tout seul dans ma tête, j’fais les cent pas
j’fais le vide, tout parait plus simple quand on laisse tomber
maintenant qu’est-ce qu’on fait ?
les vieilles histoires, on les laisse en paix
les fleurs finissent par faner, les sentiments s’estomper
oh yeah yeah

non, pleure pas, pas la peine pour moi
pleure pas si c’est parce que j’suis plus l’même gars
oh j’suis pas né d’la dernière pluie
il est temps qu’on s’oublie

pleure pas en pensant à moi
j’mé-
j’mérite pas une fraction d’ton amour, non
la distance, ça me va finalement
dans mes pensées j’t’aimerai passionnément

j’te ferai pas d’chansons parce que je t’aime encore
j’aimerais te parler, mais j’ai tellement d’tords
on n'aura pas eu un seul instant à nous
parfois j’me demande qui manque le plus à l’autre

Abad x Cumulus. - Pleure Pas Pt. 2

I had the idea of the chorus melody while riding a vélib bike home from the errands. I kept singing the melody out loud to not forget it. It reminded me of the Chinese pop songs from the 70's-80's, like Teresa Teng. And Teresa Teng is my jam.

What I initially had in mind was a production similar to that of Silk Sonic's : very anchored in 70's soul codes. But when I started laying down the chords in Logic, I realized that they were the exact same as a bossa nova draft idea I had made earlier, with a completely different topline. I thought "why not try and combine both ideas at this point ?" (I kept the melody of the bossa idea at the end of the song, when I sing tha "tadadadadadadada..." part)

There was a version where the drum part of the solo (it is a sample) was playing during the whole song, with no bossa nova rhythm at all. I liked that version too because it was closer to what I had in mind when the melody came to me. But I ended up choosing the bossa nova drums because it had a certain charm to it. And also it was the joy of combining both ideas that sparked the production of this song. I was really influenced by the simplicity of Laufey's production of "Falling Behind". 

As for the lyrics, I wrote them as close as I could to the yoghurt I mumbled in the first voice note. I really like the storytelling side of it. I am also very proud of the rhymes I found for the chorus, they weren't easy to dream up but after some trial and error I think I found a good balance. I also wrote some parts in Chinese, because the song reminded me of Chinese songs. 

I recorded the vocals between Ho-Chi-Minh and Beijing. You can hear crickets in most of the recordings because I recorded in my room late at night, it was so hot that I had to keep the window open for airflow, and you could hear the chirping of crickets from outside. I was bummed when I was recording the vocals, but now I'm glad they're there. I don't even need to add them in : They were really there singing with me.

I had a hard time convincing myself that the song was finished. It was pretty much 90% done since last summer, but somehow I still wanted to add stuff to it. And not knowing what to add, plus the fear of not being able to do a better job than what I already did, resulted in the months and months of the song just sitting in my laptop, not being updated in any way.

I ended up deciding to release the song as it is, because I know that if I touch it I would ruin it. I am no longer in the same headspace as when I made it, so I wouldn't make the right choices. Even for the mix, I used one that dated back from January, it was supposed to be a test but it just sounded better than my latest mix done in haste.

I hope you enjoy this little song. It came straight out of my brain and my heart.

Lyrics :

I always thought that I was over you
And the hazel of your eyes
As time went by, my feelings overgrew
But you showed me otherwise

Missing you is batshit crazy
Hurts to talk about you lately
Last time, we didn't even say hello
Hello, hello, hello

Now every night it's call you maybe
I'm sure you have a lot to blame me
But I just don't know how to stay afloat

And that's when you showed up
Out the blue
Meet me late in the afternoon
That same coffee place, same avenue
I held the door and said "after you"

我们聊来聊去, 聊了半天
也没聊到什么
我回到家时已过半夜

I always thought that I was over you
And the hazel of your eyes
As time went by, my feelings overgrew
But you showed me otherwise

从那一刻就没能忘记你
你也从来没离开
某时你会浮现我脑海里
我到现在才明白
Oh I was never really over you
For you took me by surprise

over you

We wrote this song with Hidem in one session at my place back in May. It was the first session we ever did, after almost a year of back & forths in our DMs trying to match our availabilities.

I pulled up a bachata remix I made a while ago from Drake & Travis Scott's song "Fair Trade" (the final project file's name is still "fair trade" lol), played it for Hidem and he liked it so we started writing on it.

To be honest I didn't know at that point what would come out of it, but somehow we bounced off of each other's ideas pretty fluently and we ended up recording a "maquette" version on that same night, with the speakers blasting the music.

Hidem stayed the night because we worked until very late. He later came back another day to record his final vocals, but 95% of the lyrics & intentions all came from the initial session we did.

The initial burst of energy and creativity you get at the beginning of a project is very precious. I pretty much spent the rest of the time tweaking little details here and there, adding/subtracting adlibs, fixing wrong notes, changing parts of the beat... But overall, the final result sounds very much like the maquette we had, just way cleaner and with more intricacies. Music is fun.

gros bisous

Tu m’as fendu le cœur, j’ai fondu en pleurs
Mais j’essaie de remettre les pendules à l’heure
J’ai tant vu la fin mais j’ai tendu la main
Comme si j’attendais que du béton germe une fleur
C’est toujours la même, y’en a plein qui me blessent
Mais j’tombe toujours amoureux de celles dont il faut pas (nan nan)
J’avançais nonchalamment normal que je faisais que des faux pas
Mais c’est trop tard, faut plus trop s’voir
J’croyais j’avais des regrets mais trop pas
Si on est pas fait pour l’un j’vais voir autre part
Mais t’étais du genre que j’veux trop voir
T’étais une œuvre, on te voit aux beaux-arts
J’veux pas t’oublier dans un pochetard
J’suis toujours entre deux comme un motard
J’ai de l’espoir, donc

T'façon j'dois taffer sur moi j'ai plus d'ennemis
J'essaie d'oublier j'ai vécu une félonie
J'préfère oublier j'me noie dans la mélodie
Oh nan dans la mer aussi
C'est tentant mais j'veux pas mourir

BLOU FEET - NE M'EN VEUX PAS (Cumulus. Techno Remix)

I wrote this piece of music in collaboration with Hugo Michalet as the soundtrack of the farewell movie we made for Fred.

This year was Fred's last year as a teacher in Gobelins, and our coordinator Thomas told us that we could maybe do another little surprise movie for him, since we already did it twice in the past years. When we started brainstorming on what we could do for him, we agreed with Hugo that we wanted to do something big. Something that both of us have never attempted before, to close this trilogy with a bang.

Hugo decided to direct the movie, animating Fred using a voice recording of his by one of his students, and the movie ended up having a lot of students and senior animators helping on it.

The beautiful backgrounds are made by William Burger with pencils on paper.

For my part, I wanted to create a full choir using the real voices of Fred's students. For two months, we organised dozens of recording sessions at school (without Fred ever noticing), recording the voices of the new students, the old students and the pedagogy team.

Everyone sang their heart out to the same melody we wrote with Hugo in the hours after lunch, in the empty cafeteria. We wanted to create a Disney/Les Choristes type of vibe, so I tried my best to capture the emotions throughout the movie. 

Working with Hugo in every step of the process resulted in a very organic and beautiful film, and it brought Fred to tears when he saw it.

Fred. (tribute to Fred Nagorny) [feat. Les Gobelins]

I started this song with Noah Naas in mind. I knew it was a banger even before I started producing it. I had a very clear idea of the topline of the chorus, and it made me excited to start working on it. 

I started the instrumental in Vietnam during my summer vacations in 2024. I wanted this song to condense everything that I love about 2000´s R&B, from The Neptunes' productions to Timbaland's. Of course, it's very hard to make choices and feel genuine about all of them. I created a playlist on Spotify called "Obsession ref" where I put all the songs that I might steal a little piece from.

The structure came really quickly, for the percussions I took a lot of the iconic sound effects from that era. I also off-gridded the drums by hand to give them a more laid-back, human feel.

Noah Naas was actually the first guy to record his verse on the song. He sent me his first draft back when I was still in Vietnam. I was flabbergasted. I then recorded the topline for my verse in Beijing, and kept workshopping the words for the months that came after.

When I got back in Paris, Noah came by my place and we recorded the final versions of his parts over several sessions. I pushed him to do more R&B runs, and we ended up with a very soulful result which we both love.

The guitar parts in the beginning and the rest of the song were initially all MIDI, and that bothered me for a long time. I asked a few people to play real acoustic guitar over it (including BLOU FEET), but no one had the time. Tired of chasing after people, I asked my brother who started learning guitar this past year. We were in Beijing for the Xmas holidays, and I didn't bring any audio gear with me so I recorded him with my iPhone. The result adds so much texture to the "quantized-ness" of the MIDI, and we don't even notice that it was recorded using a phone. We also shot my part of the music video during that same vacation.

The song started really taking shape. A few months went by, I also recorded my parts, and we thought the song was done. I send it to my friend Rodd, who is my pianist, and he loved it so much that he straight up called me in the middle of his train ride. He told me there and then that all the song needed more was a synth solo.

He sent me a few versions of the solo, and I ended up going to his place to record the final version with him. I told him that I wanted the solo to "speak", kind of like the talkbox intro from "24k Magic". That's when Rodd pulled up his very own talkbox. I was shook. We then spent the rest of the evening writing and recording that talkbox solo, and it was truly the best surprise feature on the song. Now when I listen to it, I always wait for the solo to come in.

All in all, we're all very proud of this song. We hope you love it like we do. 💫

OBSESSION (feat. Noah Naas & Rodd)

This is the instrumental version, also my original mix before the master. I produced the whole thing inspired by The Neptunes and Timbaland's productions in the early 2000's.

OBSESSION (Instrumental Version)

idk really what this is, I wrote amapiano cuz I used some logdrum samples but other than that I don't really know what genre this is. Maybe a lil bit of G House ? idk. What are genres in 2025 anyway ?

MAGICWAND! (Cumulus. Flip)

I remixed this song the day after it came out, I used AI to isolate the vocals and did all the production myself. I also used for the ending an excerpt of a cover of the song he made on TikTok. 

The original song is goated go check it out.

Jean Castel - overtime (Cumulus. Remix)

Fade away, impatient
Look at all the mess I made
I know
Lay here with me ‘cause you found
I left a bitter taste
I know

What if I told you now?
What if I told you now?
What if I told you?
What if I told you?
Oh
What if I told you now?
What if I told you now?
What if I told you?
What if I told you?
Oh

Tell me now
Bail me out

Whatever wrong we did
I should keep in mind that

Blowing on the embers always makes a fire worse
I know
I can’t really mess with you
But only with the side you show

You’re giving silence and I take in stride
This attitude will drive me mad
Should I leave, call it quits?
Oh oh
I still wanna know
I still wanna know

What if I told you now?
What if I told you now?
What if I told you?
What if I told you?
Oh
What if I told you now?
What if I told you now?
What if I told you?
What if I told you?
Oh

Tell me now
Bail me out

what if i told you now?

First song made entirely on Logic Pro X. Tell me what you think !

Lyrics :

You got a little sunshine yeah
You got a little sunshine in my life
You got a little sunshine yeah

You are my little sunshine
You are that little sunshine of mind
You got that little sunshine yeah, oh oh

And every time you come to me
During the cloudy days I see
That silver lining

I’ll come to you eventually
From all the doubts will I be free
When you be smiling ?

I don’t gotta say say say say say
Cause you don’t wanna know
So baby let’s just play play play play
Cause I don’t wanna go

En ces temps de quarantaine
Des rouleaux de PQ j’en ai par centaines
En vrai ce n’est pas la peine
Ce n’est pas le caca que les gens ils craignent

Don’t forget to wash your hands
Don’t forget to call your friends
We’re together 'til this ends
We’re together we’re together 'til this ends

Lyrics :

another party is over
ill take your hand take you to cover
and then ill pull you closer, closer

cuz i think i fell in love (fell in love)
this very moment (with you)
with you i think ill stay
i don’t know what to say

take me home with you
take me
stay in love with me
with me

i forgot to save your number
sorry i didn’t call you back
remember you were talking bout stuff and
i kept staring at your eyes

I forgot to say i love you
i don’t even know your name
guess i was too drunk to ask you and
now you’re gone its such a shame

guess i was catching a fade
when you say go to your place
you played a song that i made
you put a smile on my face, i said

we’re runnin in circles
head is a circus
my lyrics don’t make sense

simping ain’t simple 
violets are purple
having no plan’s my plan

i wanna be your man
爱情真不简单
forget about your friends
let’s go and dance, you said, woah

where is my wallet
where are my keys
i think i left them on top of my seat
where can i take you
take you to see
i hope you like to take a walk with me

take me home with you
take me
stay in love with me
with me

i forgot to save your number
sorry i didn’t call you back
remember you were talking bout stuff and
i kept staring at your eyes

I forgot to say i love you
i don’t even know your name
guess i was too drunk to ask you and
now you’re gone its such a shame

Lyrics :

Would u still hold my hand
When the loving is gone ?

Would I still be your man
Even though we both did things wrong ?

Would u still understand
How far we’d have come

And would I do all I can
To try to fix the damages that I've...
done

Just gotta let u know that u should be mine
Cause I’ve been wandering all day and
Wondering all night
Just gotta let u know I’ll give u, all my time
And we should be fine

I couldn’t help falling for you, I was letting go
Such a tricky situation
And all the stuff we had gone through
Gotta let u know
That u won’t need to be patient

All alone at midnight
You’re standing in that limelight 
And you don’t move 'till I see you
As if you were a statue
Just want to understand you
If you don’t move will I see through ?

But why
Do I feel like I'm drowning ?
But why
Do I feel like I'm drowning ? (drowning)
But why
Do I feel like I'm drowning ? (drowning, drowning)
Drowning
Drowning
Drowning
Drowning

Would u still hold my hand
When the loving is gone ?

Would I still be your man
Even though we both did things wrong ?

Would u still understand
How far we’d have come

And would I do all I can
To try to fix the damages that I've...
done

Just gotta let u know that u should be mine
Cause I’ve been wandering all day and
Wondering all night
Just gotta let u know I’ll give u, all my time
And we should be fine

Midnight (feat. Masha Moran)

Lyrics :

Heartbroken once or twice
Maybe a million times
But I see your smile and you make me smile
So I know you are my type

Your stare is a dynamite
Would you be my ride or die ?
I just rolled the dice, I closed my eyes, yeah
I prayed for it to feel right, yeah

I wasn’t sure it was right, yeah
I just thought we were tight, yeah
Only took me one bite now I
Wanna feel the whole night, yeah, yeah

Never thought I’d be yours
Never thought you’d be mine
And right now I need more
‘Cause I feels really nice

Now you’re a friend I can kiss
A friend I can kiss, yeah yeah
I know it feels a little bit weird to say this
But I got ‘ddicted to your lips

Now you’re a friend I can kiss
A friend I can kiss, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Oh

I been around you for a minute
Didn’t expect to catch feelings
Got my heart rate going right through the ceiling, ayy
I got the feeling like Greg Philinganes

I’m writing this beat with no gimmicks
Come ride on this **** I’m just kidding
Coming up with lyrics with no meaning
Coming over your place right this evening, yeah yeah yeah

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
I don’t want to say goodbye
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

It’s so cold outside
But together we can warm each other up
Yes we’ll cuddle up, watching soap opera
I’ve been drunk in love I’ll never sober up with you
Girl would you care to give me one more kiss ?
Few seconds feeling like a million years, years

I wasn’t sure it was right, yeah
I just thought we were tight, yeah
Only took me one bite now I
Wanna feel the whole night, yeah, yeah

Never thought I’d be yours
Never thought you’d be mine
And right now I need more
‘Cause I feels really nice

Now you’re a friend I can kiss
A friend I can kiss, yeah yeah
I know it feels a little bit weird to say this
But I got ‘ddicted to your lips

Now you’re a friend I can kiss
A friend I can kiss, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Oh
