Louise BSX and Sarah Maison, Paris-based singers and songwriters, collaborate via Capitane Records on a single ‘Distance & Promesse’. So far, this summer has been fruitful with breakup songs, and this track is about looking at the separation from a different angle. Sarah Maison says:
“The track explores the emotional distance that settles in after a separation, whether romantic or platonic. Balancing vulnerability and euphoric energy, it’s about keeping that dance alive despite the cracks.”
Maison brought French Chanson elements into the song with her magnetic, theatrical vocals. Louise BSX produced and mixed the track, creating the upbeat and hyper energy, merging the genres. The voices of the two singers juxtapose beautifully, united by the electronic post-production, reminiscent of PinkPantheress’ production, and laced with Mitski’s melancholy. The result is an eclectic, poetic pop track where the lyrics are threaded with pain, but the tempo is a celebration of strength and resilience.
The music video is as multifaceted as the song. Both artists seemed to have emerged from different dimensions into the lush greenery of the forest, creating a hallucinatory fairytale setting.
