Son Cara

After touring concert halls in Paris and then across France, Fils Cara explores a grunge-inspired romanticism with vulnerability. At 26, he depicts the complexity of the world around him and its impact on his love life, far from the clichés of utopian love. He celebrates gloomy states and reminds us of the beauty of doubt, dreams, and fantasy. Simple songs? Yes. Love songs, especially. The ones we listen to while dreaming of summer flirtations that flow through our fingers, like apricot juice. The ones that make up the heart of pop music—its very essence. The sweet and the bitter. The tenderness and precision of a poetry that sees the world as it is, as in “T'es belle”: “If you were the daughter of the sky / There would be no more room for God / I'd take you to pick seashells / Where there's no beach or water.”
