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 métro aérien sur le pont de la Chapelle,
Ça fait trois nuits blanches qu'il me sert de ritournelle.
Mon corps est une carte, les avenues sont mes veines,
Chaque pulsation un écho qui me draine.

[Pre-Chorus]
Mais j'dis que c'est la fièvre, celle des nouveaux départs,
Je redessine les plans sur le buvard du soir.

[Chorus]
J'ai le vertige horizontal,
Les yeux ouverts sous un ciel de métal.
Mon lit, ce radeau instable,
J'navigue sur un silence coupable.

[Verse 2]
La texture rêche des draps Monoprix sur ma peau,
Le fantôme de ton poids juste à côté, c'est trop.
J'entends encore ce prof, son venin dans la voix,
"'Ta cadence est bancale, Marin, rentre chez toi'".

[Bridge]
Un ti-punch mental pour chasser le frisson...
Paris la nuit n'a pas le son des mornes, non.

[Chorus]
J'ai le vertige horizontal,
Les yeux ouverts sous un ciel de métal.
Mon lit, ce radeau instable,
J'navigue sur un silence coupable.

[Outro]
L'aube. La première fissure sur le volet.
Et tout est à refaire.
