Mélie-Rose (Feat. 4Leks)
"M?lie-Rose" is a song about the intoxicating pull of a person who is impossible to resist. The track, by French artist Kissed featuring 4leks, was released on 27 June 2025 by Rendez-vous as a single, and it is a perfect example of the kind of dreamy, atmospheric pop that has been making waves in the French music scene. The song is built around a slow, hypnotic beat, and it captures the feeling of being completely captivated by someone. The lyrics are in French, and they paint a vivid picture of the woman at the centre of the song. "Elle met du bleu sur ses yeux verts / Elle met du rouge sur ses l?vres / Elle met du blues dans son appart / Et du vin blanc dans son verre." She puts blue on her green eyes, red on her lips, blues in her apartment, and white wine in her glass. It is a portrait of someone who is both beautiful and melancholic, someone who fills her space with colour and music but still carries a sadness with her. The narrator is completely under her spell. "J'vois tout en rose / Quand elle s'approche d'mon visage / Ce soir j'suis encore chez elle / J'monte ? son ?tage." He sees everything in pink when she approaches, and he is back at her place again, climbing the stairs to her floor. The song captures the feeling of being drawn back to someone again and again, even when you know you should probably stay away. The chorus shifts into English, adding another layer to the song. "Your sweet eyes for me / I don't wait a minute / To come back and see you / But you're not around / Please don't go away baby / I know that you love it / When you see me." The switch between languages gives the song a sense of restlessness, as if the narrator is reaching for something he cannot quite grasp. For a reviewer, "M?lie-Rose" is a compelling introduction to Kissed's music. The production is polished and atmospheric, with a slow, seductive groove that draws you in. The song has a cinematic quality, the kind of track that feels like it belongs in a film, and the collaboration with 4leks adds another dimension to the sound. It is a song about desire, about the pull of someone who is both beautiful and elusive, and it captures that feeling with real style. Kissed is an artist to watch, and "M?lie-Rose" is a strong statement of intent. |
