Chayne’s ‘Ne Me Fais Pas Rire’ is a punchy art-pop track that has ground-shaking bass, a stomping groove, and an attitude so hip it melts paint of the walls. Caught somewhere between lo-fi, bedroom pop, and experimental production tricks, ‘Ne Me Fais Pas Rire’ had my ears perked throughout my multiple listens.
Chayne is a pop artist based in London and her ‘Ne Me Fais Pas Rire’ is a French version of her recent single ‘Don’t Make Me Laugh’. At 17, Chayne’s musical journey is only just beginning, and with single like ‘Ne Me Fais Pas Rire’ and its English sister, the young singer and songwriter is showcasing a crisp songwriting talent, as well as an ear for catchy arrangements, and a sense for sound design as well. The song duo has a distinctive sound to them that sets them easily apart from their peers.
Namely, a chord sequence that’s leisurely and easy to follow, but not without twists, a melody that is tightly locked onto the chord changes, and a rhythm section that prods along with a confident charisma. Those are the defining elements that make ‘Ne Me Fais Pas Rire’ so musically memorable. Add to those a sludgy guitar part that’s simple but oh so effective, and you’re locked with one nice and nifty piece of songwriting.
Chayne’s songwriting and sound is only bound to be on an upward spiral. And with the immense level of potential she’s showcasing with her work now, we can honestly not wait to see where this talented artist is heading next.
