Kids Return

About

Kids Return isn't just riding the synthwave revival; they're carving out their own neon-drenched lane. This French duo, comprised of Clément Savoye and Adèle Castillon, conjure a soundscape steeped in cinematic nostalgia, blending 80s new wave with a distinctly Gallic touch. Their music pulsates with infectious melodies, anchored by Castillon's breathy vocals and Savoye's meticulous production. Their breakthrough came with singles like "Foreverita," a track that perfectly encapsulated their dreamy, bittersweet aesthetic. Think M83 meets Françoise Hardy, with a dash of John Hughes soundtrack charm. Kids Return’s success lies in their ability to tap into a universal longing for simpler times, while simultaneously crafting something utterly contemporary. They aren't afraid to wear their influences on their sleeve – echoes of The Cure and Depeche Mode reverberate – but they filter them through a distinctly personal lens. Their debut album solidified their position as purveyors of a sophisticated brand of synth-pop. Currently, Kids Return continues to tour and refine their sound, hinting at an even bolder sonic palette on the horizon, promising to transport listeners deeper into their meticulously crafted retro-futuristic world.
