Influenced by Dadju, Kassav', Burna Boy, Marvin Gaye. Axel Marin was born in Martinique and raised in the suburbs of Paris, but his music lives in the space between. At 19, he was accepted into the prestigious Conservatoire de Paris for jazz guitar, only to drop out two years later after a professor dismissed the Caribbean rhythms of his childhood as 'not serious music'. Now, he pays off his student debt by bartending in Belleville, writing songs on his father's old nylon-string guitar that fuse zouk-pop warmth with the cool melancholy of a city that never quite feels like home.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Le chêne plaqué de la table suédoise
Porte encore l'empreinte de mardi soir.
Un fantôme laiteux, une orbite décolorée,
Où la sueur froide d'un verre s'est évaporée.

[Chorus]
C'est pas une tache, c'est un vestige.
La cartographie d'un vertige.

[Verse 2]
C'était juillet, fenêtre ouverte sur la rue Dénoyez.
Tu as dit « c'est rien, c'est que du bois », d'une voix noyée
Par le son des glaçons qui craquaient dans ton rhum.
Un 'ti punch à Belleville, comme un anachronisme.

[Chorus]
C'est pas une tache, c'est une frontière.
Entre ma solitude et ta lumière.

[Bridge]
J'ai passé l'éponge, le produit pour le bois.
Mais la fissure est dans la fibre, plus profonde que moi.

[Chorus]
C'est pas une tache, c'est un sanctuaire.
La seule prière que je sais faire.

[Outro]
Mon doigt suit la courbe... le tour parfait.
