Bordeaux, France is the starting point of our musical journey this week and brings us an indie synthwave pop track called ‘Asthenia’ by A D A M. This song shows a deep emotional despair, characterised by pain and longing for a lost connection. It’s a haunting reflection on memory, but it also portrays the heavy burden of loss and the confrontation with inner demons.

A D A M paints a vivid picture of inner struggles, balancing the power of the past with the desire for liberation – a really intense, dark, and powerful piece. Musically, the track resonates with a strong 80s vibe while embracing qualities of 2025, presenting itself as quasi-New Synth Pop that is conscious of its roots.

Vocally, ‘Asthenia’ rises to the occasion and captivates with its arrangement, allowing the lyrics to skilfully oscillate between French and English. Well done – off to the playlist!
