French songwriter Nicolas Michaux recently returned with his new single “Chaleur Humaine”, a song that seems practically made for lazy days this summer.
The song offers a charming and warm feel-good quality, breezy and smart. There are some heavy Devendra Banhart vibes – which is always a good thing. It’s the sort of pop song that would have graced the radio back in the day.
Speaking on the track, Michaux adds:
“The song fell on me like a godsend. A day on vacation playing the Ukulele. Everything came to me at once, from start to finish in a matter of minutes. It’s as if all the slowly building up anxiety about the future has suddenly been released and transformed into something joyful. As if the part of me that still wants to believe had prevailed over fear and dismay. The production process, on the other hand, took me a long time, I had to try several versions before finding the right formula. But finally, after several very different demos, I ended up recording the final version in an hour or two. It’s a free song, it only does what it pleases.”
