Their earlier entracing hit "Ann Wants To Dance" was an extraordinary success with 10 million views on YouTube with its kitschy and summery video and over 20 million streams on Spotify and served as a kick-start for the duo, who had the simplest of goals: to make music, particularly pop, the soundtrack of their lives, out of love for guitars, but above all, to make people happy.
For RESONATE, their fourth album, which began even before the release of its predecessor, Ulysse Cottin (the brunet) and Armand Penicaut (the blond) altered their composition process for the first time, seeking the collaboration of Jesse Harris, an American songwriter known for his work with Melody Gardot, Gabi Hartman, and Norah Jones. "One day," recalls Armand, "he said to us, “'Let's try writing a song together.” We got into it. By the end of the day, we had recorded a piece we adored. We repeated this process for about ten days, meeting every afternoon in Ulysse's studio, writing, playing, and recording. We had the basic structure-a beat, a bassline, a rhythm guitar-but we didn't spend too much time harmonizing or arranging the pieces. We preferred to keep the spontaneity and energy intact, that immediate creative flow, full of freshness and sexiness.
"After composing and sketching out ten songs in Paris, the group flew to New York to meet Jesse Harris once again, continuing this fluid and laid-back composition process in his loft in the heart of Tribeca. The first song born from these new sessions for PAPOOZ was "Resonate," a captivating ballad tinged with folk strings and celestial choirs, which would give its name to the album. Armand explains, "Ulysse and I were going through a somewhat complex period.The extensive live tour had exhausted us, my relationship was going through a crisis, and the concept of resonance was a perfect metaphor to sum up the state in which both PAPOOZ and us found ourselves. Resonance is a concept theorized by Hartmut Rosa, a German sociologist and philosopher, as a remedy for the acceleration of the world and the madness of contemporary lives. But beyond the theory, it was necessary to rediscover the magic that existed between Ulysse and me, between our lives and the band, our audience and us, to regain the energy and joy we had in composing.
"Reconnecting with the fervor of their beginnings, like a welcome resurgence, Armand and Ulysse then polished and finalized the score of songs from these writing sessions with producer
