HEZEN - Au Clair de La Lune (Single)

French music producer and singer HEZEN continues to push the boundaries of sound and art with her latest single, 'Au Clair de La Lune, accompanied by the self-made visualiser and club edit Send Nudes’.

The track, sung in French, explores the digitalisation of sex, the impact of artificial intelligence on human sexuality, and the fluidity of gender identities in the metaverse. Accompanied by a self-made visualiser and a club edit, 'Au Clair de La Lune' is the second instalment of HEZEN's ambitious body of work slated for release in 2024. The single cleverly weaves elements from a classic French lullaby into a futuristic soundscape, creating a sonic experience that bridges the traditional and the avant-garde. The lyrics delve into the complexities of digital sexuality, offering a thought-provoking commentary on the intersection of technology and human intimacy. HEZEN's self-made visualiser takes viewers on a captivating journey, blurring the lines between the real world and the digital realm, whilst challenging perceptions of reality and artificiality.

Renowned for her genre-fluid sound, HEZEN's ability to blend experimental pop, electronica, and captivating vocals has positioned her as a trailblazer in the contemporary music scene. Previous releases have received critical acclaim from publications such as WONDERLAND, CLASH, Glamcult, and Kaltblut, solidifying her reputation as a boundary-pushing artist. Drawing inspiration from avant-garde artists like Arca, Eartheater, FKA Twigs, and Aphex Twin, HEZEN's genre-fluid sound combines dreamy vocals with electronic beats, showcasing the depth of her musical exploration.

As a resident artist and curator at playbody, a London-based collective merging design, architecture, technology, and music, HEZEN continues to shape culture. The collective's recent debut event in Hackney Wick on December 2nd explored liberation, experimentation, and curiosity around the human body and its senses—an immersive journey through sound and vision. The next instalment of playbody lands in Hackney Wick on 10th February.

HEZEN's live performances offer a unique blend of electrifying club atmospheres and intimate moments, reflecting her exploration of altered states, euphoria, and fantastical experiences. With a predominantly digital visual identity mirroring her musical journey, HEZEN is set to captivate audiences with her transformative body of work in 2024.

HEZEN's upcoming body of work promises a comprehensive exploration of love, lust, and sex in the digital age. Each track will be accompanied by a club edit, signaling a new chapter in her career that seamlessly fuses pop, experimental, and techno influences.
