Already a lauded talent at home in France, singer, producer & songwriter Yodelice (AKA Maxime Nucci) looks towards the UK in more ways than one with his forthcoming new album ‘What’s The Cure?’.
Inspired by the austere post-punk and synth music of his student days (think Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Cabaret Voltaire), the chameleonic musical polymath has crafted an album that conjures up a rain sodden urban landscape where all of humanities loves and loses can found.
The latest single from the album, ‘Cutting Like a Knife’, melds a Bernard Sumner-esque guitar line with glitching electronics and Yodelice’s droll aristocratic vocals. It’s an evocative slice of electro-rock that oozes a mix of swagger and menace.
Emerging in 2009 with the more folk-laced ‘Tree of Life’, Yodelice quickly established himself as both an emotionally literate singer/songwriter and a keen-eared producer. More albums followed and demand for his production work increased, with bouts working with the late Johnny Hallyday (AKA the French Elvis) and the critically acclaimed Jain.
Following 2022’s critically acclaimed album ‘The Circle’, Yodelice wanted to branch into new musical territories, and a nascent friendship with French Industrial techno producer Gesaffelstein inspired him to explore the world of analogue rhythms and noirish synth. The result of this musical journey is the stunning new album ‘What’s The Cure?’, featuring the recent singles ‘Desires Never Dies’, ‘Ghostly Affair’ and the propulsive ‘Muse In Motion’.
