‘Rockstar’ is a new wave Afrotrap track blending bold lyrics, sleek vibes, and irresistible beats. Perfect for late-night vibes and making a statement on a new type of music genre.

RockStar

Afrobeats mixed with Afropop that blends street loyalty with motivational energy. With a catchy hook and hard-hitting verses, the song reflects resilience, pride, and the unbreakable bond of a strong team. Inspired by the Yakuza's code of honor, it speaks to overcoming challenges, staying true to oneself, and rising above the envy of others.

Les 41es Assises de la traduction littéraire : "Dialogues" se sont tenues du 1er au 3 novembre 2024 et étaient soutenues par : le programme Europe Créative de l'Union européenne, la Délégation Générale à la Langue Française et aux Langues de France (DGLFLF) du ministère de la Culture, le Centre National du Livre, la Sofia, la Région Sud, le Département des Bouches-du-Rhône, la Ville d'Arles, et la Fondation Pro Helvetia.

"Quand le parler fait langue, et comment le traduire ?"

I Need Your Love doesn’t shout - it sways.
Blending elements of Afro-Pop, mellow dancehall, urban chillwave and electronic Afrobeats, the track unfolds like a humid night breeze, carrying both sensual warmth and emotional weight. Sung in West African Pidgin English, the dual vocals mirror the push-and-pull of desire and doubt, longing and distance.

The production is stripped yet precise: bouncing percussions, soft pads, and a hypnotic groove create a lush space where vulnerability can dance. The contrast between the laidback beat and the bittersweet vocal tone creates a compelling tension - a love story that lives in the unresolved.

More than just a love song, I Need Your Love captures the emotional texture of modern relationships - part ritual, part release. A mood piece for late-night city drives, quiet thoughts, or playlists that speak with rhythm instead of volume.

Genre:  Electronic Afrobeat / Afro-Pop / Mellow Dancehall / Urban Chillwave

I Need Your Love

Some say that pop is a minor art form. So it's best not to take
itself too seriously. Nevertheless. When the world loses its compass, when intolerance and hatred of difference resurface, how can we not echo the dread that engulfs us?
After The Rainbow recounts a dream, an intimate chaos, a wandering between nightmare and hope, elegy and jubilation, punk darkness and electro-pop bursts. It says, modestly
, that we refuse to let ourselves be reduced, confined or assigned.
Unless it's just music, a pretext for making music, by listening, singing, dancing and vibrating in unison. Which wouldn't be bad, would it?
You might say.
JrM and friends

No fix genres – creativity has no boundaries!

Music has been a part of me since my early years – shaped by diverse influences and a deep love for sound. I attended a music-focused high school and played piano as a child – but it wasn’t until years later that I truly began creating music myself. 

My musical journey started over 15 years ago with mixes and mashups. Later, I began with non-commercial compositions – before taking a long break due to personal and health-related reasons. After that time of silence and reflection, I’m now back – still creating and transforming experience into sound. 

I work across genres and approaches: from fully self-composed tracks to productions using samples and even songs generated with contemporary tools combined with the others – typically with own lyrics to tell personal or meaningful stories, influenced by years of illness and a deep longing for genuine justice.
