French disc jockey/producer wunderkind Madeon has made a rare announcement about upcoming music. Today he took to his Facebook page for the first time in a month and a half to reveal the artwork for an upcoming single "You're On" featuring the vocals of California vocalist and musician Kyan. There is no preview as of yet, but it has the same style of artwork as his previous track "Imperium," which could indicate a similar sound or a continued evolution in the Madeon that became popular with tracks like "Finale" and "Icarus."
The text is written out in a sort of hieroglyphics, but they have already been deciphered with the last artwork for "Imperium." The song will be released Dec. 8, so after all of this time without new Madeon music, fans will have to just wait one week for a new track. No word on whether it will be released for free, like "Imperium," or through a purchasing portal, but either way, fans will be grateful to hear new music.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the 20-year-old Frenchman's upcoming album, which has been in the works for more than a year. Signed to Columbia Records, the release date has been pushed back several times, and according to Thump, it is slated for release "early next year."
Madeon spoke to Coco Cole of Capital Xtra after his set at South West Four earlier this summer about his album.
"The music I've been working on, I've tried to not just do DJ music," Madeon told Coco. "It's not just club tracks. It's songs and music that touches me, that uses electronic elements but that tries to go beyond the DJ role format."
He added, "I am going to build a new show after that."
