Music

Monsieur Adi's sound is a mixture of French house, electro house, synthpop, and classical, combining synthesizers and dance beats with orchestral instruments and compositions.[7][8] His remixes have been featured on many websites including SPIN,[9] Popjustice,[10] DIY,[11] and official Grammy Blogger Arjanwrites' blog and have been played on various radio stations including Le Mouv' by Laura Leishman in France, BBC Radio 1 by Pete Tong and Juice FM by Dave Whelan in the United Kingdom, George FM in New Zealand, and KCRW in the United States.[12][13][14][15][16] On 24 July 2013, Monsieur Adi revealed his new single "What's Going On," which features British singer/songwriter A*M*E and interpolates the hit song "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)" by British R&B band Soul II Soul.[17] The song was used in the online fashion retailer Boohoo.com's 2013 Holiday advertisements.[18] Adi has also done a cover version of Blondie's "Heart Of Glass" for fashion giant H&M's Spring 2014 New Icons campaign.[19] On 21 October 2016, a new single titled "Bad Habits" was released which features the vocals of American singer/songwriter VÉRITÉ. It is expected to be on his debut album After Hours. [20][21]
