Le Kid formed in Paris around 2005, with Erwann Corbel on vocals and guitar and Nicolas Villebrun on drums. They put out a debut EP in 2006, but it was the 2008 single 'America' that got them noticed. The song is a ballad that looks at the country's beauty and its social divides.
Their second album, 'Movie,' came out in 2011 and drew praise for its sound and lyrics about topics like immigration and consumerism. The band's lineup also included Julien Smulevici on bass, Nicolas Ker on keyboards, and Antoine Pasqualini on guitar.
They've released a few more albums since then, including 'Grand Loves' in 2015 and 'Days' in 2020. Other songs in their catalog include 'Mercy Mercy,' 'Oh My God,' and 'Seventeen.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
