On his cutting edge and infectiously poppy new single ‘harry houdini’, maxime. showcases some of his more light and easy-going sensibilities, eschewing the more abrasive and intense stylistic choices of previous single ‘get it together !’ for a sound that feels a lot more grounded and intimate.

Both sides of maxime.’s style have endless amounts of appeal to them, with the artist’s creative and forward-thinking approach ensuring that everything he puts his name to feels expansive and distinctive in its own right. The moody tone of the vocals here and the nuance and thought put into the beats and soundscape make for a track that you can find yourself hopelessly lost in, such is the artist’s appeal. The artist’s upcoming new album the life and death of a dog is primed to be a defining piece of work from the artist with tonnes of stylistic shifts and creativity on display, and this track is just the latest reason to be excited about it.
