Lucas Parton’s melodies undoubtedly carry us away. We quickly think of a Michel Berger or a Véronique Sanson, both in the musical energy and the softness of Lucas’s texts. William Sheller – of whom the young artist tells us he is a fan – is not very far away either.
Each song offers a particular rhythm and tone, but they all evoke the joy of living, love stories, the richness of encounters. Each song is imbued with positive vibes.
There is this message of truth, of sharing above all, because I write songs to share them
