VIDEOCLUB

Videoclub, the dynamic French duo consisting of Adèle Castillon and Matthieu Reynaud, is worth a second glance. Although not extremely well-known in the mainstream music industry, their unique approach has injected a fresh, new perspective into the landscape of pop music. They've carved out an intriguing space for themselves within their niche—offering listeners a mix of vintage style mashed-up with modern. Their music brims with '80s synth-pop vibes and kitschy aesthetics, which is on full display in their vivid and quirky music videos.

Music videos are where Videoclub really gets inventive. Take for example, their popular track "En Nuit". The video, directed by Louis De Caunes, emulates the romantic simplicity of French New Wave cinema—it's bold yet minimalistic—depicting the couple's story of love and distance in a style unseen in modern pop music. Another engaging piece of work is the video for "Amour Plastique”. Stylishly low-fi and irresistibly charming, it’s filled with dreamy pastel hues, retro filters, and even kitschy windmills. To heighten the whimsical effect, there's also an intriguing story thread of a gentle dinosaur that is obsessed with human culture—an unusual addition that firmly establishes their distinct brand.

Delving a bit into the peculiarities, there's an unexpected link between Videoclub and Hollywood royalty. Adèle Castillon, one-half of this duo, is the daughter of French actor Jean-Pierre Castillon and actress Corinne Masiero. A minor tidbit perhaps, but one that offers a peek into the varied creative influences that have shaped Videoclub's distinctive style and music.
