Montreal’s musician and producer Marie Davidson has announced the creation of a new band, L’Œil Nu, which also comprises Pierre Guerineau (her husband with who she releases music as Essaie Pas) and Asaël R. Robitaille. According to the press release, Renegade Breakdown is “a reaction to years in which she spent most of her life on the road, navigating the club and festival lifestyle: the airports, the late nights, the lost or damaged gear—often alone.”

Released as lead single, the title track “Renegade Breakdown” seems to draw from pop music with a keen chorus and defiant lyrics reminiscent of the French enigmatic artist Mylène Farmer. Watch the visuals below.

Montreal-based producer Marie Davidson is readying the release of her fourth album. After “So Right“, she is back with a propulsive and fierce new track in which she talks about success and hard labour, with quite a dominatrix tone (“sweat dripping down your balls”). The artist knows the meaning of working hard: She was a waitress for ten years in order to be able to make music. The magic of “Work It” is this liminal space between sarcasm and empowerment but, most of all, this banger sounds like one of the most essential dance releases of the year.

Montreal-based producer Marie Davidson, also known to be part of the duo Essaie Pas, will share her new album via Ninja Tune. Ahead of the release, she has just unveil the first single. The edgy soundscapes and the gimmicks of “So Right” are somewhat reminescent of 90s dance music. It is a caustic song about the artificial joys of club culture and paradoxically, the hypnotizing layers sound tailored for the dancefloor. The single also comes with a John Talabot remix. Tune in below.
