Nicolas Michaux - Vitalisme (2024) Hi-Res

Nicolas Michaux is a Belgian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, Vitalisme is his fourth solo album in eight years. We get twelve indie pop songs, partly sung in English and partly in French, partly ballads and partly a light variation on Talking Heads grooves, partly about the future and partly about the past, largely originals but also with covers of Tucker Zimmerman’s She’s an Easy Rider and Léo Ferré’s Le Léthé. This is 42 minutes of warm, mellow and cross-cultural vibes layered with a vintage 70s sensibility that feels both intimate and expansive.
