Marlon Magnée

Marlon Magnée, co‑founder of La Femme, arrives solo to unfold an oeuvre that is at once restrained and adventurous. A songwriter and keyboardist, he shaped much of the group’s sonic identity; on stage he presents his songs in half‑light, between French-language pop, psych-tinged friction and synthetic pulses. The melodies settle on understated drum machines, analog pads and guitars that add just the right amount of edge, with a direct songwriting approach that favors efficiency without losing an off‑kilter sensibility.

On March 25, 2026 at La Marquise in Lyon, he offered a set that navigated between taut, nervy refrains and more contemplative excursions, like a notebook of songs where flashes of new wave, warped yé‑yé echoes and rolling basslines intersect. His voice sits at the center, precise, with choruses that linger and instrumental passages that breathe. The show reveals a taste for textures, an attention to detail and a way of marrying danceability with reverie. A concert that displays the other side of his writing—more upfront, more intimate—without losing the energy that made him known.
