Super Plage released “Sexy et Fatiguée” today, the fourth track from Mini Club, out 23 October on Lisbon Lux Records. The Montreal launch show is booked for 11 November at Le Belmont, 9:30 PM, as part of Coup de Cœur Francophone.
The track features Laurence Camille, born Laurence Latreille, on vocals and was co-written with François-Simon Déziel of Qualité Motel and Valaire. It sits in house and pop territory and turns on a saxophone solo.
Camille explained what the song is about. “The song is about the pressure on women to embody the codes of femininity, including modesty and sensuality. There is an exhausting duality between the sense of empowerment that comes from being sexy and the exhaustion of constantly having to stoke desire. That’s what we wanted to convey in the music video, in a lighthearted way, with the character cycling through every emotion, from exasperation to ecstasy.”
Super Plage is Jules Henry, working in French and building records around the women artists in his circle. Mini Club will be his fifth original album. Magie à minuit, from 2023, was nominated for Electronic Album of the Year at the ADISQ gala, one of two ADISQ nominations to date. Last year’s GROSSE MAISON pushed further into house, disco and French touch production.
He has played more than 100 shows, including SXSW in Austin, Wide Days in Edinburgh, Francofolies de La Rochelle, Osheaga, Les Francos de Montreal and FME in Rouyn-Noranda, and has opened for Miel de Montagne, Julien Granel, Bon Entendeur and MYD. Radio support has come from CISM, Radio-Canada and Sirius XM, with press in Rolling Stone QC, France 3, TV5, Range and La Face B.
Mini Club arrives 23 October.
