Every Wednesday on HighClouds, we share the much-awaited and surprising playlist of our Brussels‘ friend, tastemaker and collaborator: sir Deer Du Bois.

This week our sultry pop moment comes from the candy-colored Lo on “Drumline.”

With some added marimba, Brooklyn newcomer Nikkie McLeod tells her story on “Deep Cry.” Raised on Belgian soil Dries Van Haute delivers his club-ready track “Desert,” just in time for the upcoming summer! But let’s not forget the soulful pop of Daniel Wilson on “Woe Is A World” for a moment of heartwarming dazzle.

Music doesn’t hurt people, so surround yourself with a pop of love brought to your ears by Deer Du Bois

JESUS CMPLXX cracks open the night with gleamy banger “SUVI.” And with Swedish duo Wildhart we soften the worries of last week, not to forget, but to do better in “New Beginnings.”

If you want to drink a bit more until you get tipsy, you should check him on Facebook and Soundcloud, and follow his regular posts on our site.

Margaux Avril shares melancholic new single “Drifting”

Parisian singer/songwriter Margaux Avril unveils her new single “Drifting” assisted by la creme de la creme of the French electronic scene.

Produced by Dennis Brown, the British half of Postaal, the rising electronic figure Fhin, and mastered by the infamous house producer Alex Gopher, the young Parisian has proven that she knows how to surround herself. The song floats in the waters of electronic sounds and pop, with a glimpse of melancholia. It has a sadness hidden, as she sings “I’m drifting from you” in the chorus. About the meaning of the song, Margaux Avril explained:

[su_quote]It is about the relationship you have with yourself that influences the other relationships in your life : with the ones you love, with passing time. By drifting from yourself you drift from what surrounds you. The way we navigate through life’s obstacles, choices we make. It talks about melancholy, nostalgia, and learning. The flow of a life that prevails, in which we let ourselves go and against which we sometimes fight, memories that we keep preciously or we need to let go.

“Drifting”, that you can listen below, is the perfect follow-up for Margaux Avril‘s song “Soon“.

Paris-based singer Margaux Avril shared pop track “Soon”

After her album in French released in 2013, American/French Paris-based creative Margaux Avril is building up to her next album with the release of “Soon”. The track was produced by Tristan Salvati (who also worked on the first album), Alex Gopher (mastering), and the duo of Postaal.

Speaking on the track, she explained:

[su_quote]

This song is very personal because it tells about my way to get through life; its disappointments, surprises, relationships, gut-feelings… Fits well with my wavery personality! It’s quite ambiguous I think, also because you can listen to it at any time of your day or life… When you’re happy, melancholic, walking around, waking up; in the beginning of your evening or late at night.”

With quite a gap between the last album and this one, the multi-talented artist is starting to allow her personality shine. The new album is expected in spring 2017.
