Mysterious and mischievous French artist Develour emerged into the Francophone indie pop scene with the release of “La Part des Agnes,” a song which saw him quickly establishing a sound that he playfully dubbed “French touch disco,” a sound that draws from and features elements of chanson, soul, funk, disco and pop. 

“La Part des Agnes” and the French artist’s second single “Un Matin,” which I described as a breezy and summery bop built around a swaggering and infectious 80s-inspired groove, appeared on his debut EP, 2023’s Vert Galant. 

The emerging French artist forthcoming sophomore EP will feature the previously released “Dealer d’Amour,” a dreamy and lush song that prominently features Developer’s yearning, achingly plaintive cooing, and the EP’s latest single “Celle qui.”

“Celle qui” continues a run of lush and breezy, hook-driven tunes, featuring glistening synth arpeggios, a supple and funky bass line serving as a lush bed for the French artist’s yearning delivery. While breakneck and infectious, thematically, the new single, as Develour explains focuses on the fantasies and stories we tell ourselves while deeply fascinated with a potential love interest. He goes on to say that the song sonically and structurally plays on the contrasts between the longing and self-doubt in the pursuit of a desired one.
