Petit Biscuit made his name and rose to prominence in electronic dance music in the French capital. But he was born in Rouen, and his artistry reflects the virtues of the city where he’s from. He’s half French and half Moroccan and as comfortable with tropical house beats as he is with the cool textures of Northern European techno. He’s resolutely contemporary, but he’s deeply studied in classical music, and he’s a master of acoustic instruments as well as electric ones. His sound is cinematic, but even at his sleekest, the records he makes are warm, approachable, and human-scale. Even his handle is humble: he’s named himself after the little pastries he remembers eating as a child.
Whether you know Petit Biscuit for his electropop classic “Sunset Lover” or his popular full-length albums (2017’s Presence and 2020’s Parachute), you’re going to love his latest single “You Don’t Ignore (Too Late).” It’s an extension and an amplification of everything that he does well. Here, you’ll find that distinctive amalgam of sounds that characterizes all the artist’s recordings: synthesizer gloss and acoustic thrum, treated vocals, uplifting lyrics, and beats as smooth and sweet as a Balearic breeze. It’s danceable for sure, but it’s also perfect music for highway drives and poolside idylls, lovers’ walks, and beach parties. Call it a soundtrack to an eternal summer and the engine whir of a world gently turning.
