Maryze and Morganne Create a Raunchy Queer Paradise with "Langue"

Montreal’s stormy-sweet popstar Maryze has embarked on a spicy new chapter, teaming up with LA’s Morganne to drop the irresistible queer banger that is "Langue".

The two viral artists first connected on TikTok in 2021, forging an online friendship before meeting in LA in the spring of 2023 for writing and recording sessions. Together with Montreal producer (and Maryze’s longtime collaborator) Solomon K-I, the trio concocted an indulgent dance pop single about exploring queer identity. Maryze and Morganne deliver their flirtations with an edge, transcending linguistic barriers by imploring their crush to get raw and risqué: “J’aime la façon que tu parles / Même si le sens est flou / Watching the sounds leave your mouth / Et je tombe à genoux.” “Langue” plummets the listener into a descriptive fantasy.

Thanks to its alluring bilingual edge and pulsating composition, “Langue” has already enjoyed an impressive organic reach, charming audiences across borders and oceans. Maryze and Morganne have solidified their collab’s potency with a strong social strategy, shooting content in Paris, Montreal, Chicago, and LA, and it has paid off immensely – garnering praise from legendary hitmaker Bonnie McKee and THE Duolingo owl himself.

To complement their vision for “Langue,” Maryze and Morganne teamed up with LA cinematographer Priscilla Mars to produce the single’s provocative music video. The two artists and their pals team up for a debaucherous romp, flexing their chemistry under hedonistic red lights, marking the cherry on top of an infectious creative collaboration.

Julia Daigle Shares Glittering New Album "Un singe sur l'épaule" (via Lisbon Lux Records)

Julia Daigle (member of the duo Paupière) has released her album "Un singe sur l'épaule" via Lisbon Lux Records. The album is a collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Dominic Vanchesteing. Drawing on Kate Bush, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and even some krautrock, glittering psychedelic melodies carry Julia's latest body of work. 

The song Nanette was inspired by the biography of Nanette Workman and the energy of New York City. Julia whispers, "Fifth Avenue dans l'infini Sous les néons, les dieux sourient." It's the perfect soundtrack for your weekend adventures and your "I'm The Main Character" playlists. 

The video for Nanette is inspired by The Star, Arcanum XVII of the Tarot de Marseille and the work of Henry Corbin. It's an excursion into a haunted landscape, an emotional labyrinth that has become physical, where a figure retraces, in an infinite ring, the path of her inner wanderings. In this liminal space between night and dawn, she wanders through strange - and unexpectedly familiar - places in search of a sign, a key. Territory without landmarks of the exile of the heart. 

For fans of Melody's Echo Chamber, Wild Nothing, and TOPS, Julia's Daigle's "Un singe sur l'épaule" is for you.
