Madeon - The City


Madeon is rapidly becoming the producer du jour.  Can he do no wrong?

Well The City proves he's not quite immortal.  It's more of a straightforwad pop-house track than his previous material, lacking the complexity of Icarus or his Pop Culture mash-up and instead more akin to his remix of Martin Solveig's The Night Out.  The vocals, from Zak Waters and Cass Lowe, feel very commercial.  And it sounds more influenced by Daft Punk than ever.

That said, this is unmistakably Madeon's work.  It may not be his strongest track, but he's still well ahead of the game.

3/5


Listen: The City is released on the 8th October.
