Song Review/ Alt Pop : Yume Ao’s ‘Papillon’
Yume Ao is a modern pop artist. The French singer-songwriter plays with electronica in a fresh way. In a way that brings a kind of GenZ funk to the music. An edge matched with novel stylings and charisma. Her latest release is ‘Papillon’, a tongue in cheek electro pop story. Trippy lines of melody and beats run through the soundscape, creating cerebral patterns and imprints. And through these funky frequencies, Yume’s secretive vocals flow.
It’s deliberately plain, but has an exclusivity to it, a sophisticated flow with sensual undertones and mischief. The song kind of brings a rebellious pop atmosphere to the shores of disco, dance, and soft girl chic. It’s such an unusual aesthetic confluence that it keeps you hooked. Like abstract paintings, it keeps showing you new ways of looking at it and listening to it.
