Virus X: Étienne Daho plays the electro card for his new single

2021-10-20T10:41:08.980Z


The result of the meeting between the French artist and the Italian duo Italoconnection, the title cleverly compares a toxic relationship with a pandemic.


Electronic samples resembling a summer hit, accompanied by elegant lyrics. Étienne Daho sets the scene. The singer from the Rennes rock scene has joined forces with Fred Ventura and Paolo Gozzetti, the two names behind Italoconnection, for a new collaboration. Entitled

Virus X

, the title, originally released on June 21 - the day of the summer solstice, what a coincidence - on the album

Midnight Confessions Vol. 1

of the group. It appears this October 20 in a different light, remixed by SAGE, alias Ambroise Willaume, also known under the label of co-founder of the French group Revolver.

Virus X

,

"one of the flagship titles of their album"

, as the official site of Étienne Daho suggests, is the only one sung in the language of Molière.

"Virus X",

to pronounce in the English way, to better rhyme with the sentence

"No need to unmask myself, because I do not look like any of your exes"

. A subtlety that makes perfect sense:

"He made this clever comparison between a toxic relationship and a virus, which is in fact very true"

, explains Paolo Gozzetti in an interview for Electricity Club.

The three artists met during a reunion concert of the group Marquis de Sade in Rennes. Producing

Virus X

with Étienne Daho was a boon for the duo.

“I've been a huge fan of him for over 35 years and this collaboration is a real dream come true,”

says Fred Ventura, the other half of Italoconnection. The single announces the release of

THE VIRUS X EXPERIENCE, an

album made up of five remixes of the eponymous track, with no release date to date.

On the occasion of the forty years of

Mythomane

, his first album produced in 1981, Étienne Daho republishes a few projects, including an expanded version of 

Condemned to Death

, his musical adaptation of the poem by Jean Genet, read by Jeanne Moreau.

To be released November 5.
