Each Measure Feature: Romain Swan

FEATURE

“Bloody Business,” the collaboration between French singer-songwriter Romain Swan and Romane Baudry, is an electric single coming in September 2024. Their inspiration in artists like Corey Taylor and Paramore is evident in the chord progression and style, bringing high energy to the track. “Bloody Business” was born of a road trip that became romantic, fusing their personalities into a revved up rock single. The chemistry between Swan and Baudry is tangible on the track, creating a rock-fueled love story in the lyrics.

The guitar riff throughout reminded me of driving on a motorcycle, with the heightened kick drum in the chorus adding to that feeling of romanticized freedom. Throw in the merged, intense vocals of Swan and Baudry, and “Bloody Business” is a raw love story of adventure. Not only does the track handle this journey with ease, but the dynamic progression of the music grows with them. Between the chords and the story itself, “Bloody Business” is an infectious track that gets stuck in your head. Romain Swan is hitting the music scene in Paris hard with “Bloody Business,” because I haven’t heard many love ballads in rock with this much energy.
