Devenir

Devenir is a French alternative rock band formed in Paris. The group includes vocalist and guitarist Étienne Daho, bassist Pierre Jacquemont, drummer Nicolas Godin, and keyboardist Jean-Michel Jarre. They built a sound around experimental and atmospheric elements, with lyrics that often touch on isolation and alienation.

Their debut album, also called "Devenir," brought them critical and commercial attention. Songs like "El abismo" and "La red hipnótica" reflect their blend of ethereal melodies and introspective themes. Some critics have questioned the band's lyrical focus, but the members have described their work as an exploration of human complexity rather than any kind of statement.

Later albums such as "Éphémère" and "L'illusion" continued in a similar vein. Their music tends to avoid mainstream radio conventions, which has shaped both their following and their place in the alternative scene.
