“Next” features 11 tracks that alternate between catchy pop rock and more mellow moments. The melodies are carefully crafted, the harmonies are well-executed, and the guitar solos are top-notch (lol). Some of the lyrics are original and carry meaningful messages, adding depth to the album.

This album represents a significant evolution from my previous work. You’ll find influences from great artists like Bowie, Zappa, and The Kinks, with the synth sounds of the ’80s making their presence known.

I wanna feel alive, but I've never been damn good
'Cause I don't wanna waste your time
Since you left, I lost my drive
To face another day and climb

It's always been too good to last
And I spoke to my heart in vain
Tears and joy are the mix of the past
And now my mind's a hurricane

Bye bye my worries and my fears gonna end up tonight
My my how beautiful you are when you shine your light
But I need to check into rehab
You saved me for the rest of the day hey hey
I'm okay to sit right by your side

I've been chasing after the feeling
Of something that I can't describe
I'm holding on but I am reeling
And my soul is trying to revive

Bye bye my worries and my fears gonna end up tonight
My my how beautiful you are when you shine your light
But I need to check into rehab (ahhh)
You saved me for the rest of the day hey hey
I'm okay to sit right by your side

J'fais une mélodie même si rien ne m'attend
J'fume du shit et j'vois c'est comme ça que j'mène la vie à fond
De base j'étais mal parti toute façon
J'me perd, plus en plus de mélodies bressons

J'pete mon crane sur une mélodie, plus envie que ça s'finisse
J'pete mon crane sur une mélodie, plus envie que ça s'finisse
Là je kiffe à fond, comme dire fuck à son patron, ouai
Là je kiffe à fond, comme dire fuck à son patron

Bye bye my worries and my fears gonna end up tonight
My my how beautiful you are when you shine your light
Bye bye my worries and my fears gonna end up tonight
My my how beautiful you are when you shine your light
But I need to check into rehab
You saved me for the rest of the day hey hey
I'm okay to sit right by your side

Mais fuck son patron c'est de gauche ça non?
Hè vas-y roule un pétard

Featuring the young Marseille-based rapper @jimi135 , who injects a burst of fun into this song with his French—or rather, Marseillais—verses.

Worries and Fears (Ft JiMi)

How do I feel
Every time the sky is blue
Do I see there's a new day
After every night I've spent thinking
About you I cry
You'll never tell me why
My tear is dry
I've tried to do
The best for you and me
After all illusion
I'm still in an ordinary life
And if I take a chance
Would you leave me to change
My tear is dry
It seems to be nothing
For you to get that way
I really don't know
Where the story is going to
And if it's going nowhere,
And if you're going away
♪
What could you do
If I don't fear you
If I get you nothing
Just leave you floating in the air
Until you die, you'll never lie
What did you show me
What did you show me
What did you
What did you show me
What did you show me
What did you

I'll Be

Stalking in the night I don't know what to do
Looking through the window I am waving at you
Then you see me and I can feel all that you feel
You know it's not the first time I'm snooping around you
Don't be scared in the night
I want you to stay
Walking in your tights I don't know if it is right
I'm sure we've got so much to share together tonight
Why you're always slipping through the hands of your dreams
Let me have a look in your room, where is your bed now
Don't be scared in the night
I want you to stay
Don't you know I want to come in come in
Just because you are too fine
So warm, too fine
So warm, too
Count the days 'till my conviction life behind bars
Russell didn't bank on this when he wrote my stars
Oh maybe should I learn to keep my love in my pants
Or not because within the stalker always around you
Don't be scared in the night
I want you to stay with me baby
Don't you know I want to come in come in
Just because you are too fine
I'm walking in your tights
I don't know if it's right
I'm sure that we have so much
To share together tonight

Baby, I'm a Stalker

Baby, I’m a Stalker

You complain every day
With a big fat bomb in the ashtray
You say you wanna a revolution
But you bow to the institution
Your hair is perfect like the divine Juliet
Where were you at the protest let me guess
You didn't want to get wet
You talk about things changing
But you camp on your floor, far from the door, you do
You do think your word is enough
But you talk for nothing, the clock is ticking
You talk about peace in the world
But first fill your big pockets
Your goal is a recording in New York
But you will never exceed your block
Your hair is perfect like the divine Juliet
Where were you at the protest let me guess
You didn't want to get wet
When you think you're number one
You come far behind, you lose your mind, you do
I don't think I hate you my friend
But you're dumb, so so dumb, you know

I Love Your Hair

I was going down the high road
When he saw me there
At first, I thought that I was dreaming and he said
Let's go for a walk, no no
I don't want no walk
I don't want no talk
I just wanna go home
Then he talked a little while
My eyes were fixing in the sky
All I wanted to remember
Was to keep on watching Peaky Blinders
I don't want no walk (I don't I don't)
I don't want no talk (I don't I don't)
I just wanna chill
I dreamt that I was never say yes
I deamt that I was out of business hey eh yeah eh yeah
How can I ever reach my mind
If I don't let it do what it wants to
Don't let it drive and think too
I don't want no walk (I don't I don't)

I Don't Wanna Talk

I Don’t Wanna Talk

I don't want to hear those who think I am crazy
I don't want to move further than my doorstep
Everything is hidden, nothing you can see
Don't ever come to me, coz' I am a real threat
Before, yeah long before
I was happy to be a really good citizen
I was walking 'round the city
And the parks enjoying the
Sun but the clouds followed me
Some found a shelter
But none for me
I'm standing everyday facing dirty little walls
Sometime at night, I see them moving
Someone's knocking at my door, I might be breaking balls
I'm shaking with a fever, will I still be alive in the morning

World is going by my window

Long Before

Like a bird on a wire
I am searching for the light
Trying to find my way through
The darkness of the night
Like a bird on a wire
Like a beat to find I move on
My head says no my feet won't slow
I dance all night
And let my emotions flow
With my soul
Like a fire in my heart
Burning bright and very strong
I'II keep on going, no matter
What comes along
Every step I take brings me closer to my dreams
Like a beat in my soul
Gotta keep on movin'
Got no time to slow
No time for losin'
Dancin' through the night
Lettin' my emotions out
Gonna be alright
But sometimes I need to step back
And take a look around
Thinkin' 'bout the past
And how we used to get down
Now things have changed
But I won't let it bring me down
Or make me feel deranged
And when the days get tough
And I'm feelin' kinda low
I'll think back to those times
And let the good vibes flow
Like a beat in my soul
Gotta keep on movin'
Got no time to slow
No time for losin'
Dancin' through the night
Lettin' my emotions out
Gonna be alright
And when the days get tough
And I'm feelin' kinda low
I'll think back to those times
And let the good vibes flow
Oh like a beat to
Like a beat to find I move on
My head says no my feet won't slow
I dance all night
And let my emotions flow
Gonna be alright
Gotta keep on movin' yeah yeah
Gotta keep on movin' yeah yeah
No time for losin' yeah yeah
Gotta keep on movin'
And when the days get tough
And I'm feelin' kinda low
I'll think back to those times

Like a Bird on a Wire

Like a Bird on the Wire

In the winter, 6 years ago
A young girl stood on top of a box
On a stick it dangled like a sock
She was arrested for breaking the law
Without a word
It's the end of an era
The west is regressing
While Iran is on fire
She lost all of her rights
Her skin, her bones, her flesh
She no longer exists
Am I awake?
She no longer submits, they soon no longer exist
She no longer wears it, deep on Revolution Street
It's the end of a reign, say it loud, woman, life, and freedom
♪
Men are falling, the girls are uprising
Men are falling, the girls are uprising
Without a word, without a word
Men are falling, the girls are uprising


These lyrics shed light on the condition of women in Iran.

Bagatelle for Bass

I'm looking for a rescue
I'm searching for a breakthrough
Cos' I don't know what else to do
I need someone to see me through
Can't break free from this chain,
I'm living in constant pain
Every day feels like a fight,
Gotta find the strength to see the light
It's a struggle,
Gotta find a way to stay alive
I'm looking for a good time
And I, I'm ready for a fine wine
And I feeling fine I wanna shine, gotta climb
I'm lost in the crowd
But my mind is somewhere else
I don't care about the noise or the yells
I'm living in the moment
But I'm not really here
I'm watching from a distance
Everything so clear
♪
I'm looking for a rescue
I'm searching for a breakthrough
I need someone to see me through
I'm staring at the bottom of the bottle
I'm drowning in my sorrow
With nowhere else to go
I was so damn gone, then I saw her
She welcomed me to paradise
Like nothing I've ever known
Like nothing I've ever known
Like nothing I've ever known
Like nothing I've ever known
Like nothing I've ever known

Looking for Rescue

Come get it cause tonight is
The night to feel alive and get drunk like you
Drunk like you
Hey now, when we were love drunk
Oh, we were fire, fire up to hell
Fire up to hell yeah yeah yeah yeah
While you were love drunk you said, so did I
We were dancing, getting naked and
Lying on the beach
On the sand
So with two packs of cigarettes in my hand
And one last great sip from my sings
From my sings yeah yeah yeah yeah
Let me sit back, enjoy the view
Ooooohhhhh
Parties late night, take us to the coast
But, ya drunk
On the sand
On the sand
When we were love drunk
When we were love drunk
