"This is the kind of album I could only make right now," says Hugo Pierre Leclercq, the visionary French producer, singer, and songwriter better known as Madeon. "There's something so urgent about the present, something so exhilarating about this music and this moment that I knew I needed to capture it before anything could get lost in the polish." Victory, Madeon's rapturous new multi-media masterpiece, is indeed urgent and exhilarating, but it's also a work of meticulous craftsmanship and exquisite detail. Arriving seven years after Madeon's Grammy-nominated sophomore effort, Good Faith, the record is marked by an explosive collision of genres and influences, drawing on punk, indie rock, electro-clash, sci-fi, and high fashion to create an immersive sonic and visual world all its own. Leclercq's writing is both brash and vulnerable on the album, grappling with identity and reinvention in the wake of heartbreak and loss, and his productions are larger-than-life, transforming raw, personal revelations into epic, stadium-sized anthems that blur the line between fantasy and reality. The result is a bold, daring exploration of transformation and catharsis, an irresistible celebration of freedom and self-discovery from a singular artist at a pivotal crossroads. "Something about this music felt forbidden," Leclercq recalls, "but it was so exciting that I couldn't walk away. It made me feel emboldened to go all out, to say the kind of things I'd always been too shy to say." Growing up in Nantes, France, Leclercq's introspective ways led him to embrace a myriad of creative pursuits. After teaching himself English, he learned to record and produce music on his laptop, dove headfirst into the worlds of video editing, animation, and graphic design, and even studied magic and illusions. In search of a likeminded community, he began sharing his songs online, where he cultivated an international circle of friends and collaborators (several of whom, like Porter Robinson, Skrillex, and Zedd, would go on to similar success). At 16, Leclercq dropped out of high school to pursue music full time, and at 17, he went mega-viral with his "Pop Culture" mashup, which saw him live-mixing samples from 39 different songs on a Novation Launchpad he'd purchased earlier that day. "I felt like a bit of an outcast in France, so everything I'd been doing online up to that point had been kind of an escape, like a secret, second life," Leclercq explains. "My parents hadn't even heard my music until suddenly all these record label executives came knocking on the door." With his work spreading like wildfire online, Leclercq began touring the world, playing iconic festivals like Lollapalooza and sharing bills with the luminaries like Lady Gaga, who invited him to open a series of arena shows and record together. "Working with Gaga was my first experience in a real studio," Leclercq reflects. "It was an intense, life-changing time for me, and the experience still influences the way I create today." Leclercq would go on to become a highly sought-after studio collaborator across genres, working with everyone from Coldplay and Ellie Goulding to Muse and Deadmau5. "Shelter," his joint release with longtime friend Porter Robinson, went Gold in 2016 (the pair crisscrossed the world together that year on a massive tour that concluded with a mainstage Coachella set), while "beside you," which Leclercq produced on his iPhone for rising R&B star Keshi, racked up hundreds of millions of streams online. But it was Leclercq's solo work that earned him his biggest accolades, with his 2015 studio debut, Adventure, garnering rave reviews, and his 2019 follow-up, Good Faith, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums chart and earning a Grammy nomination for Best Electronic Album.
