7 takeaways from Madeon’s ‘Good Faith’ Reddit AMA

It’s been a full decade since Hugo Pierre Leclercq introduced his sonic identity, Madeon, to the world. While the then 16-year-old Frenchman rode an unprecedented wave of hype into the front lines of dance music stardom, it’s clear that Leclercq’s work ethic and dedication to his craft have turned the one-time prodigy into one of the industry’s most bonafide creators.

Now, at just 25 years old, Madeon flexes his growth as an artist with the release of his sophomore album, Good Faith.  In a Reddit AMA yesterday, Leclercq detailed the personal evolution that led the recent LP to take on more of an artist album identity than that of a producer album. He also divulges into studio inspirations, and how “unlearning” certain dance music production techniques gave Good Faith the pop that it needed.
