Daks : And Ida helped you film it. I. Fevrier : It’s a good memory looking back on it. It’s very homemade, just Haroun and an iPhone. Daks : The thing that I really liked was the fact that you were here under lockdown and yet finding ways to be creative. I could hear you playing guitar or you were off filming together, which I thought was great because a lot of people did nothing except switch on Netflix. I also liked it because there seems to be a really great sense of humor to your lyrics. It seems to be part of your personality in your songwriting, which is great, and its storytelling. H. Yamou : The reason why I started making music was because I was pretty angry, but then I also realized that in humor and comedy there is a lot of pain. So a nicer way to approach the pain was to laugh about it and make songs that people could relate to but also laugh with you.
written because obviously, I know “Chardonnay.” I saw the video and you with my guitar and my old telephone and in my bathtub. How did that song come about? H. Yamou : That was pretty fun. I wrote it on a bus with a friend. I was practicing how to write bars in rap, and there are always a lot of double entendres, plays on words, and all those things. So, it was kind of a writing exercise, in a way. Daks : And then when you came to make the video, you made some of it at your house and then some of it at my house when you came to stay with us during the lockdown. H. Yamou : The video was pretty on the spot. I started filming myself on my bed one day and then I thought it kind of looked like the vibe of the song and then Ida and I moved in here with you and Anna-Karin (Ida’s mom) for lockdown and it was a good opportunity to finish the project. It was pretty fun.
