Growing up on a musical diet of France Gall and Serge Gainsbourg in a family of French and Swiss-Italian heritage, Julie Meletta sees pop in a state of creative flux. Awash with ‘70s influences, her debut EP CHIC! is equal parts escapist and grounded in modern anxieties. Between the yé-yé-inspired bubblegum vocals, kinetic funk guitars and synth-soaked refrains hide songs about sleepless nights and the desire to satisfy and adapt; until the singer-songwriter brushes aside the mistakes of the past and embraces a new-found freedom, fittingly finding release on the sweaty, sparkling dance floor.
