Requin Chagrin

Requin Chagrin is the brainchild of Marion Brunetto, a French indie pop artist whose moniker, translating to "Sorrowful Shark," captures the poignant blend of melancholy and melodic surf rock that characterizes her music. Emerging onto the scene with her self-titled debut album "Requin Chagrin" in 2015, Brunetto's project is marked by a distinctive sound that intertwines dreamy, lo-fi aesthetics with the nostalgia of 60s French pop and the jangling spirit of Californian surf culture. Singing in her native French, her lyrics paint emotive landscapes filled with thematic explorations of love, longing, and wistful introspection.

Building on her initial acclaim, Requin Chagrin has released several albums and singles that continue to embody her unique confluence of influences. Tracks such as "Sémaphore" from the 2019 album of the same name, and the poetic "Mauvais présage" highlight the project's evolving sound, incorporating a richer production while remaining faithful to its indie roots. With the release of songs like "Déjà vu" and collaborative pieces like "Crush," featuring actress Anaïs Demoustier, Requin Chagrin demonstrates a dynamic adaptability and a growing presence within the French music scene. Brunetto's ability to capture complex emotions through a tapestry of reverb-laden guitar and her ethereal voice has garnered a dedicated following, firmly establishing Requin Chagrin as a beacon of contemporary French pop.
