Frenchman Mickaël Furnon had not released an album for seven years. The one that was revealed in the mid-2000s – three Victoires de la musique for his album You are not going to die laughing and his song Breathe in 2004 — is perhaps less rock today, but no less incisive. And the fifties still has this resolutely punk attitude which can make you think of the Vernon Subutex by Virginie Despentes — one of her songs is even called Don’t buy my recorda nice mix of self-mockery and middle fingers.
The era in which we live does not amuse much this dear Mickey 3D, who tinkers with a not too polished pop song allowing him to go as much on the moving ground of nostalgia as on that of indignation, which he know well. The singer-songwriter is exploding from today’s political crack to “social media” — yes, yes, that’s the title of a song, in which online hate is so disembodied that it brings out the worst in humans: “We finish horses well, on social networks. »
The subject is direct, sometimes a little childish even if we understand his anger, and it’s really when he digs into the emotions linked to his vanished youth — “I was far from imagining that one day I would no longer be 20 years”, he sings in I thought — that Mickey 3D hits the mark. There is something very stirring in his sometimes angry melancholy. Nothing beats tomorrow, The dance of the elephants, We were humans or the pretty Emily was dancingthese songs alone are worth keeping listening to what Mickey 3D has to say.
