Wild Cities

"Happy to be sad". This lapidary formula could correspond to what Casagrande, alias Nicolas Contant manages to convey through his album Villes Sauvages.

Eleven postcards of an emotional landscape certainly filled with doubt, but also, and above all, with joy.

From the tumult of these wild cities to the calm of the rivers, from (re)discovering nature and the living, Casagrande seems on this album to want to escape the vehemence of urban environments, to move away from the permanent emulation created by the crowds. This musical bet, skilfully mixing the urgency and the sweetness of the pop sound, thus frees itself from the past and looks straight ahead.
