Lacquer is a French artist who writes his songs in discreet English. Having no particular ties, he has effectively chosen a universal language: the language of pop. Lacquer grew up in the 80s and readily locates the epicentre of hismusical and emotional education in this period. Unlike some other artists, he makes no bones about his first loue, his unmistakeable infatuation with electro-pop and new wave. His first single Behind holds all the melodic purity and immediate charm of the analogue age's greatest hits,but in a firmly contemporary and personal perspective. Lacquer prefers natural emotion to technological posturing; sensitivity of writing to pyrotechnic excess. He comes across as an instinctive person still prone to the giddiness of learning. Yet on this record, he offers just a foretaste of a world whose scope and depth he will soon reveal.
