The concept behind "Physical '87"

At the end of 2020, I discover a track of Dua Lipa on the radio and immediately I get hooked!

Physical has something special, 80's rock feel and a powerful melody... AS IF it was a POP version of a song from DOKKEN, LOUDNESS, WHITESNAKE, Y&T, STRYPER…released during the great Hair Metal / Hard Rock era.

 

From then on, it was obvious to me that I had to work on a version of "Physical" as if it had been released in 1987.

 

Arrangements, production, video clip, photos, bio everything was thought and worked as a single concept: "Back to the L.A. rock scene in 1987".

 

All driven by my passion for this music that I love so much and that has accompanied all the phases of my life.

 

I wish you as much pleasure to discover my universe as I had to work on the project.

 

Cédric
