There is also a strong sense of bringing historically underrepresented groups to the fore, which is met with hopefulness on his part. “When I started,” Madeon says, “I felt very legitimate because all the people [I saw] that were music producers looked like me. It made me feel welcome. I didn’t think of it [at the time], but subconsciously, it felt like a possible future in a way that it might not have for somebody who didn’t [look like me]. Looking like somebody can be quite trivial, but when you’re young and impressionable, and are imagining potential futures, it could be difficult to realise that you can have a place.

“I see more varied things than I used to. It feels like a less narrow cultural landscape than it was,” he continues. “A lot of themes are easier to express. I find it refreshing. There is a little bit of white knighting going on, people trying to perform their open-mindedness in a way that’s insincere and awkward. There are moments in any cultural transition that are unpleasant and extreme. It’s like your teenage years, when you’re finding yourself and you’re not fully formed. But I’m very on board with the evolution of society. It’s leading somewhere. I think eventually the floodgates will open and all scenes will be naturally diverse.”

Madeon is trying to generate all that diversity on his own for ‘Good Faith’. There are no collaborations or features on the album; a few musicians who’ve recorded instruments here and there, but he is the primary voice on songs, giving the album have a personal touch. He’s produced, mixed, and mastered every track himself.

“You can only have one person hold the vision,” he says. “All of my efforts are in making Madeon as true and as sincere as I can possibly be. If you want to be truthful, you have to be the one that takes ownership of that destination, and makes sure everything is working. Your album is your own space. It’s where you get to be uncompromising and showcase what you’re about. You invite people along the way, but they have to leave. That place you’re trying to create and share is yours alone.”

The mood on ‘Good Faith’ is more pop than ever before, with a touch of indie rock filtered through a dance lens. As Madeon says, it’s an album to be listened to in the daytime, with sunshine, perhaps while driving. The five songs he has ready at the time of this interview are bright and breezy. They’ll be restructured for the live show to give them a dance bent, and a tinge of darkness that is more visceral and better suited to the night time concert experience. Madeon will be centre stage, wielding a microphone and throwing shapes, with his instruments set up on either side of him. The show features songs from both albums, with the ones from ‘Adventure’ being reworked into ‘Good Faith’ versions.
