GASPARD
ROYANT - "YOURS"
Gaspard Royant is a young Parisian artist whose first
self-released EP You Can Have Me (If You Want To)
was released last month. Gaspard's style is a mix of folk
and pop, with the slightest hint of honky tonk-lite à
la français. The EP's 5 tracks were honed on the road,
Gaspard traveling with his guitar and playing across Europe
and the US. It was actually during his travels in the US,
perhaps in part drawn by a certain sense of romanticized
adventure, where Gaspard decided to invest fully in his
music. Gaspard writes in English, tackling in his
songwriting the wild extremes of the human condition.
The track "Yours' is a wonderfully deceptively tender duet
with singer-songwriter Marie-Flore. The EP also includes a
favorite "Grow", a quietly confident and swaggering
ballad.
