Composed and recorded while in and out of lockdowns, \u003ci\u003ePapillon de Nuit\u003c\/i\u003e is an album anchored in growth and maturity. The thematic inspiration came from an unlikely source, a creature that soars after the sun sets, but often goes unnoticed until the light shines on it. It is the \u003ci\u003epapillon de nuit\u003c\/i\u003e to some, but drably referred to as a moth by others, revealing a bias in language alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I always thought it was a strange insect. Once while in Paris, a friend swatted at one and I asked: 'Was that a moth?'. I was told: 'No, that's a papillon de nuit.' I thought that was the most beautiful description for this otherwise overlooked creature. When I later learned of the symbolism associated with it, I felt that really spoke to both my own situation and also what we've all been going through.\" Production on \u003ci\u003ePapillon de Nuit\u003c\/i\u003e was helmed by a mixture of old and new collaborators. The Safe Spaceship Records production team, consisting of Scott McCannell (Lydia Persaud, Claire Davis), Ben MacDonald and Chino de Villa (re.verse, Jessie Reyez), produced four songs on the album. The group also assisted as session musicians for songs produced by newcomer Todd \u003ci\u003eHiFiLo\u003c\/i\u003e Pentney (Allison Au Quartet, JUNO Award winner). \u003ci\u003eThe Gumption\u003c\/i\u003e contributor Kevin Henkel (\u003ci\u003eTell Me Something\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLook At Us Now\u003c\/i\u003e) returned with three compositions, and old friend Jesse Bear (Sean Kingston, Stan Walker) contributed to one song.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing the success of \u003ci\u003eSoul Run\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eGumption\u003c\/i\u003e, Tanika had found a comfortable pace of releasing albums then hitting the road the following year to bring her show to new markets far and wide. So when things changed for all of us, and plans of touring \u003ci\u003eThe Gumption\u003c\/i\u003e properly fell through, there was a realization that getting to work on the next project was the healthiest choice to make.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Kicks","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50460632219979,"sku":"1144939","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50460632973643,"sku":"1144938","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/222d5689-e121-4ba3-8339-6ee5201c5b9d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727235784","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/papillon-de-nuit-the-night-butterfly","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
