WHO KNOWS
Mei (the Japanese feminine name, pronounced “May”) aka Caroline Masson is a french multidisciplinary artist based in Dijon, France.
The social media avatar of Mei is “close-to-mei”.
Mei's music, as a tribute to the force of nature, stamps her creative energy on violence and models the relief of a world as tragic and sweet as life.
It is through the lens of her sometimes crystalline, sometimes nebulous voices that she telescopes such saturated and twisted music as harmonious and learned, borrowing from Trip-hop influence, skinned electronics, and major stage artists such as Björk or Tricky, with whom she maintains the comparison with pride.
The zone of stability lies in the sublimation of the energy of suffering and the erection of its beauty towards a universe and an absolute history, which would speak of, and to all humanity.Then, just when you think you've defined it perfectly and disastrously in this bubble, she bursts into a sensual golden outfit behind the wheel of a Gainsbourg Royce rock, then turns around and plunges into the black cotton of a bloody punk riff, or a satanist capharnaüm death metal, flattened by the gigantic steps of a kick Snare trap, or rhymes rapped falling like a meteor shower.
The zone of stability is found in the sublimation of suffering's force and the erecting of its beauty towards a universe and an absolute history that speak of, and to, all mankind.

WHAT'S ON
Mei's style is unusually detailed in description, reflecting her propensity for experimentation. As someone who enjoys pushing the boundaries, she is always where you least expect her to be. Throughout the early 2000s, Mei has set the standard for experimenting with abstract electronica and dark ambient music. She has ready several singles, EPs, and full-length albums. Her launch is set to go.
