phytocene

one week already since my purest form is a lie is out ♡ i was very nervous releasing this track and ended up being overwhelmed with your kind words and support. it’s the best feeling in the world when you make music that sounds more like you and people instantly notice it does and connect to it even more because of it. i can’t wait to share the rest of my EP with you next month, and to perform it live for you at the release party in paris on june 25th!!! love you ❦ more pics from the cover shoot, shot by my dad, wearing custom @interfeer.studio designed and handmade by my talented friend @melss.bht ✦

my purest form is a lie is out now ㅤ♡ when i started doing phytocene shows, i was sitting down behind my two keyboards: being a huge fan of james blake, i had an identical live setup. which means i wasn’t fully visible. i mean, my face was, but not my body. and i got comments like ‘it’s too bad, we don’t see you’, kind of like the comments i get when i play piano recitals in a mask. well for starters i’m sure james blake never got these kind of comments. i’m a woman, meaning an object of contemplation that must remain visibly accessible at all times. so i said ok, i’m going to buy a wireless mic and stand up on stage. but then my music was too static and calm to dance and make my body visible so i made pop music. i don’t listen to pop music. in fact i don’t really even like it that much. yet here i am making these silly little pop songs. it’s no coincidence pop music is 90% female artists. so recently i started having a heartbreaking existential crisis: could i ever really know what kind of music i would make if i wasn’t a woman? is it even possible to absolve myself of all the social constructs i constructed my whole self around? i grieve something that doesn’t exist. in this song i tried to reconnect with the things i know are true to my heart. trying to make something i like. something i would find interesting. yet i have this fear all musicians have, this pressure to make something marketable, this fear to see our art crushed by capitalism, not allowing ourselves to make what we really want to make. sometimes i think my music sounds like how my makeup looks. but does it look like me? how can i really know? what if i can never make music that looks like me? anyway thank you for reading this philosophical rant. love you guys. hope you like the song ♥︎ thank you @heaveninstereo for a beautiful mix & master as usual ✦ ethereal soprano saxophone by @jeune_pousse_du_91 ✮ track produced by me ✧ thank you @melss.bht from @interfeer.studio for designing and sewing this dress specially for this song. a pure white dress from afar, teared up textures up close ㅤ♡ thank you to my dad who i love very much and who took this pic as well as the artwork ❦

my purest form is a lie is the last single of my upcoming fourth EP and it will be yours on may 8th ㅤ♡ i think this might be one of the most meaningful and deepest song i’ve ever made. it’s the first stop on my journey to make music that sounds more like me, which is the hardest thing ever. this is a song about music and about the female experience of making it. i can’t wait to share with you this track that is very very special to me. you can pre-save in my bio as always. love you all so much ‧₊˚ ⋅ cover shot by my dad (!!) wearing the most stunning dress ever custom designed by @melss.bht from @interfeer.studio ❦

my fourth EP ‘bird songs on power lines’ will be out june 26th and i can’t wait to share maybe the most vulnerable body of songs i’ve ever made with you. i can’t believe this is the fourth (4th!!!!) EP i’m releasing, so many songs, so many words, so many chord progressions and feelings i’ve put out into the world in the past three years. to shorten the wait for you guys, a new single will come out very soon, as well as a music video for one hundred things ♡ this new project will also come with very special merch, and a very very special surprise i’ll be announcing tomorrow. here are some pics from day 2 of the music video shoot, the most stunning cliff by the sea, thank you @melss.bht @interfeer.studio my beloved stylist for making this dress and turning me into a siren and also thank you @arcadiajewelryparis for the lovely necklace ✦ ‧₊˚ ⋅ see u tomorrow!!

one week of one hundred things… this is the 19th song i’ve released, which feels like a huge number, but also relatively small when juxtaposed with the immensity of musical possibilities. i’ve explored so much yet so little. one hundred things is the third single of my fourth EP, a set of songs reflecting on my relationship with music, therefore with myself, and the complexity of it. music about music. trying to reconnect with the purest form there is of it, if it even exists. one hundred things is figuring things out. singing my doubts out loud so maybe they disappear! leaving you (for now) with this set of pics my friend @asephnos took at my music school, i’m wearing @interfeer.studio designed by my dear friend @melss.bht ♡ i don’t know if i can live without leg warmers now!

one hundred things is all yours <3 this is the third single of my upcoming fourth EP, i wrote it in a place of musical self-reflection on the journey i’ve been on since my first ever release, it’s a song about how confusing it is sometimes to navigate this big and complex industry as a female independent artist that does everything herself, on the narrow line between self-confidence and delusion, the underwhelming release days, the birthdays and worries that you’re too old for this, the ‘why didn’t i choose a normal, achievable career’ thoughts, and i truly hope this can speak to every artist out there and help them feel less alone in this process. my fourth EP will be out later this year and i’m so grateful to have an audience that truly understands my music and the words that i sing, that makes me feel more and more comfortable being vulnerable in my own songs, and that gives me the room and platform to express myself how i want to. and i think you guessed it, yes, a music video is coming, but next month (i promise the wait will be worth it). anyways i hope you guys like the song as much as i enjoyed making it. ♡ thank you to my talented friend @melss.bht from @interfeer.studio for designing and carefully sewing this custom look specially for this song. to me, this grayish blue is the color of introspection, so it felt like a perfect fit. also what makes a person who always wears black feel more vulnerable than making them wear colors? so thank you melissa for gently pulling me out of my comfort zone and making me feel beautiful in the clothes you make. thank you @heaveninstereo for such a wonderful mix and master as usual and thank you to my friend @asephnos who took this pic at my music school (while holding both the camera and a hairdryer because who would i be without wind in my hair?)

one hundred things will be yours on february 27th <3 this is a song about self-doubt & the music industry, about my fears and dreams as an artist, it’s a monologue whispered from the bedroom i produce all my songs in and stay in all day, hoping that one day i can maybe come out of it. also the cover was shot at my music school in the room i practice piano everyday in so very much in line with the theme see!! you can pre-save in my bio as always! love u <3 shot by @lilaredares styling, custom top, skirt & leg warmers by @interfeer.studio

one week of 25 already and i’m so happy and grateful for all the love on this song!! love u guys so much. here are some more pics my dad took at the beach <33

25 is all yours ⋆˙⟡ ⊹₊⟡⋆ back in january i turned 25 and i was like hmm (classic 25th birthday crisis) time flies and i had this feeling that i had lost a lot of years not releasing stuff and wished i had started my ‘career’ sooner and felt i was getting old in this industry that when you’re a woman you feel you have an expiration date stuck to you and can’t get rid of. i had enough songs at 16 but stuff or rather people happened to me that made me lose confidence and sight of my true goals in life. this song is kinda me getting my revenge on the lost years and is about regretting not leaving sooner and i hope it can encourage other girlies to prioritize their personal goals over relationships. i had a lot of fun making it and especially producing it and i hope you guys will have as much fun listening to it. love u all so much <33 mix & master: @heaveninstereo cover: @asephnos track produced by me ❦

my new single 25 will be yours on november 28th <33 pre-save in my bio ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹

chrome self has been out for a week already and i couldn’t be more moved by the love you guys gave this song. anyways here are some pics my dad took of me when we were at the beach. love you <33
