Comment: this batch of 11 tracks inflicts simultaneously some sort of pleasure and some sort of detestation. The latter used to associate with the nowadays mainstream dance music called EDM. I do not stand for sleazy dullness and rigidity without any humorous sentiments in music and that is all one can find out from the style. It is like dancing on speed although one's body stands on the verge of a collapse. Like moving from a grisly nightmare into a choking hangover. Before it the most horrendous music was related to such an event as Love Parade in Berlin, Germany. Those cheesy techno and trance mixed vibes were even worse. Some braindead did produce aural zombies. On Histoire Naturelle, the French singer-songwriter's sophomoric outing, one can listen to 8 originals and 3 remixes which ultimately constitute a mixed feeling. Usually those rhythmic structures are very similar to one another as if the artist is employing one and the same preset. New Age-y synths do work at times. Singing is arousing, guitar sounds are pristine yet providing no sense and giving no rest as well. It does not take me higher though Greenland is the favourite of mine due to its variety and suggestive atmospheric trumpet progressions in the background. Great track. However, regarding the artist's success at Soundcloud and on the other side the recent mainstream situation within the dance scene I guess the possibility to conquer bigger venues in Europe could be highly possible. Good luck.
