“Haunting." Vanina Hänin
Yes, we must admit that we undeniably love Lagardere’s duos. The one with Roxane “Dancing Around Me” was already an exploration which turned the musical collaboration into a groovy mad dancefloor heavily danceable gem.
This time his duo with Mareva has got again this elegant touch only Lagardere knows how to bring into his productions. Poetic, nocturnal, Mareva singular french vocals are giving to this song about extreme passion a totally cinematic mood. Her particular voice tone, thick with emotion, is electrifying with such a special way the song, turning it into a dreamy nightish journey.
If you carefully listen to the lyrics, the two characters are singing almost in mirror, which brings us directly to the art work which is also presenting the two characters in a kind of yin and yang state, deeply fusionned, interconnected together.
Like if both of Mareva and Lagardere’s souls, intimately bond together, were having an intimate discussion in an ethereal dimension about the true condition of their love for each other, about this conflictual “status” most of passionate love stories are made of.
Fanatic Funk remix is even digging deeper in the original material. Fanatic Funk’s ability of revamping a track into a rolling, rocking, heavy dancefloor bomb is damn impressive. With its addictive percussive elements, its solid and roaring bassline, its “from beyond” melodic synths enveloping the listener, its surrealistic melodic layers, Fanatic Funk remix sounds like if it was directly sampled out of a dream, the beloved shadows whispering to you ears the story of their drama but also the beauty of their love dependence.
“Très chic”, elegant and romantic, Lagardere and Mareva’s heartful electronic ballad seems to be the perfect late night song to dance to with your beloved ”half” shadow.
