Partenaire Particulier is an iconic French new wave and synth-pop band that gained prominence in the mid-1980s. Formed in Bordeaux, France, the group is primarily recognized for their self-titled hit single "Partenaire Particulier", which became a substantial success and a defining track of the French synth-pop scene. Their music often integrates catchy electronic melodies with a distinctly 80s feel, reflecting the era's vibrant influence on the band's sound.
Over the years, Partenaire Particulier has experienced varying levels of activity and some changes in their lineup, with founding member Eric Fettweis as a consistent thread throughout their evolution. The band's recent releases testify to their enduring appeal, as they revisit their classic sound while also paying homage to their influences. Tracks like "L'aventurier" and covers such as "Enola Gay" and "Take on Me" exhibit their ability to bridge their musical roots with contemporary tastes. Their 2021 version of "Qu'allons-nous devenir?" encapsulates the band's reflective side, posing existential questions on a synthesizer backdrop, staying true to their new wave origins while addressing modern audiences.
