Electro-pop duo tackles the pain of addiction in their new multi-lingual single \u2018Decroche\u2019, released on April 20th<\/sup>, 2018.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The duo tells us more about the message behind the single, the inspiration behind singing it in three different languages \u2013 English, French, Mandarin, and more.<\/p>\n

What is the inspiration or message behind the single ‘Decroche’?\u00a0What inspired the title of the song?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bonnie: Kick it off.<\/p>\n

It was just becoming too recurrent in my entourage, that people started to freak out, taking too much or using to hide a deeper wound. I wanted to talk about that, to explore the highs and the lows of an addiction and its effect on its entourage. ‘D\u00e9croche’ is a French verb that means “to pick up the phone”. It also means “to kick off a habit, to get down what was hooked, to switch off.”<\/p>\n

What inspired the idea of singing it in three different languages?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bonnie: I’m French but I grew up in Hong Kong, so I spoke English at a very young age, and learned Chinese Mandarin at school. It’s kind of who I am, I tend to mix those 3 languages in my songs. On this particular one, I thought it interesting to use French at the beginning, to start softly, with words that taste sweet\u00a0in my mouth, to characterize the melancholic & poetic aspect of the addiction; then the chorus in Chinese sounds almost like a children’s tune, but with a tension \u201ca la devilish sauce\u201d\u00a0like the little evil voice that draws you back to it. The rest is in English cause, it’s a matter that speaks to everyone.<\/p>\n
