Musisi muda belia asal Prancis yang tengah naik daun, Madeon, 20 tahun, tanggal 10 Maret yang lalu merilis single paling barunya, 'Home'. Single ini merupakan single paling mutakhirnya sebelum album debutnya, "Adventure" rilis di akhir Maret ini.
Tapi ada yang istimewa bagi Madeon untuk single 'Home' ini. Menurut penyanyi bernama asli Hugo Pierre Leclercq ini, 'Home' merupakan lagu paling personal baginya. Single ini dihasilkan dari sebuah marathon selama 24 jam di studio musik disaat ia tengah mengalami krisis karir dan juga kebuntuan dalam proses kreatif.
Madeon kemudian mencurahkan uneg-uneg melalui akun Twitternya, @madeon. Dan berikut kicauannya:
In january of last year, I stopped touring completely to focus on writing music for Adventure.— Madeon (@madeon) March 9, 2015
I have this thing I do about once a year. I lock myself in the studio for 24 hours and make two or three new songs from start to finish— Madeon (@madeon) March 9, 2015
By the 18th hour, the combination of sleep deprivation, creative frustration and isolation put me in this weird vulnerable state.

I kind of felt like giving up on music to be honest, so I made a song about that.

Because I was alone in the studio and had a microphone, I ended up recording it myself and finished producing it in the few hours remaining.— Madeon (@madeon) March 9, 2015
I dont see myself as a singer but I thought it would be weird to have anyone else do the song so I kept it the same as the demo on the album— Madeon (@madeon) March 9, 2015
Anyway it's the last song on the album, it's called "Home" and it's premiered tonight by @AnnieMac on her new @BBCR1 show.

Wah. Tapi syukurlah pada akhirnya proses kreatif Madeon tetap bisa tercurahkan dan 'Home' pun selesai dikerjakan.
Album debutnya, "Adventure", akan dirilis pada tanggal 30 Maret 2015.
Pre-order "Adventure" via iTunes.
