Already, the ultra-stylized cover of Porcelain plot. A still life draped in purple satin composed of a mask (porcelain, of course), a martini, crystal and analog telecommunications objects. Logically, we expect to hear retro sounds, a little mysterious and dark. And fun, even facetious, too. On target ! Radiant Baby continues to play with the synths in Porcelainbut ventures into electro melodies perhaps less grandiloquent than before, where a few guitars are quietly deposited (The ideal friendFor example). The whole thing is thus fluid, constant, taking us into a universe imbued with vulnerability and a slight irony which sometimes leans towards post-punk, notably on Addicted to dangerwhose rhythm recalls that of Devo, sometimes towards a dreamy and suave pop of the 1980s (Lullaby for Biba, Four hundred blows, dying of laughter).
