Description

Superbly presented! After a sold-out concert at La Gaîté Lyrique, Johnny Jane will be at La Cigale on December 1, 2023! Johnny Jane is one of those musicians who seems capable of exploring any style. Citing influences from The Strokes to Yung Lean, King Krule, and Sébastien Tellier, the musician delivers songs that are constantly evolving. And beneath these changing forms, his very particular sensitivity always hits the mark. This is thanks in particular to melancholic, instantly recognizable melodies and lyrics that are as raw as they are sincere: "Everything starts with emotions. I couldn't talk about something I've seen; I can only talk about what I feel." On his latest EP, Désordres, with a more rock-oriented production than his previous releases, Johnny Jane sings about partying and its consequences. Strewn with doubts, haze, and dance moves, the album offers unstoppable hits (Normal, Missiles), an acoustic interlude (the superb Jeune Étoile), then blends guitars, autotune, and troubled sincerity (Dans Mon Corps, which sounds a bit like Julian Casablancas playing with Fontaines DC). Thoughtful enough to know how to doubt, talented enough to shine, Johnny Jane delivers with Désordres the latest installment in a near-perfect and ever-evolving discography, which is likely to continue surprising an ever-growing audience.
