AarRON is back. Five years after We Cut The Night , their last album, the French duo composed of Simon Buret and Olivier Coursier arrives on September 18 with Anatomy of light, their fourth studio album. After The Flame , Odysée and Les Rivières , the group unveils a new single on Friday, with the clip of Ultrarêve .
In 2015 for the song Blouson Noir , the two friends had been able to count on the presence of John Malkovich. This time, an even more unexpected guest arrives: Jean-Claude Van Damme.

We left JCVD during confinement, while he was having fun making small family videos with his animals. Would this hobby have been the beginnings of the Ultrarêve clip , entirely shot by Kris and Bianca, the children of the Belgian actor? AaRON also tells how the contact with the latter took place. “One day we received an e-mail from Jean-Claude Van Damme himself who told us about his love for our music and who suggested that we collaborate on his feature film project” , they explain. Following this, the duo has the idea of making him participate in the clip, before Van Damme decides to "carry everything on his shoulders" .
The result as surprising as it is amusing. Not the last when it comes to self-mockery, Van Damme delights us in a choreography halfway between dance and martial arts. Like a disjointed puppet, he sways to the very airy and pop style of the song, sometimes mimics a few piano notes and drops the shirt, revealing a physique that is still very sharp for almost 60 years. First of all in a Californian car park then on a beach, always between genius and madness.
