ÉTATS D'ÂME are back — and they didn’t just bring a new song, they brought a new chapter. With their new single “Avalanche”—from their third album "Émotions Vives,"—this band aren’t just making music — they’re handing you a piece of their soul, wrapped in rhythm, poetry, and a voice that knows what it’s like to feel everything.
The name ÉTATS D'ÂME — “states of soul” — has never rung truer than it does here. This single is a full-on emotional voyage: the kind that doesn’t offer tidy resolutions, but instead holds space for the real messiness of being alive.
With their album—"Émotions Vives"—for the first time ever, the band reaches across linguistic borders with 5 songs in Englsih and dives into the global conversation of emotion. But make no mistake — these English-language tracks feel just as vulnerable and rooted as their French counterparts — like natural extensions of the band’s growing emotional vocabulary.
It’s not about marketing. It’s about connection. And ÉTATS D'ÂME do that brilliantly.
Émotions Vives doesn’t shy away from the world’s chaos — in fact, it leans into it. But it doesn’t wallow. Instead, it searches. For meaning. For light. For those fleeting, beautiful moments that remind us we’re still here, still breathing, still capable of joy.
The songs are drenched in reflection, full of lyrics that read like fragments from a journal or a long-lost letter. They ask the big questions: What’s real? What’s worth holding on to? Where do we find hope when everything feels like it’s falling apart?

“Avalanche” a total ride. It is a Melancholic ballad with an upbeat funk groove that sneak into your bones. The pop melody feels like sunshine after rain. And the rock edge gives the whole thing a nice bite.
There’s no formula here — just emotion guiding the arrangements, moment by moment. It’s the kind of variety that keeps you listening, not because it’s flashy, but because it’s honest. The kind of record that feels like it was made for someone, about someone, and maybe — just maybe — for you.
And then there’s the new addition: Nina Jack. Her voice is a revelation — smoky, powerful, intimate — like someone whispering their life story in your ear at 2am. She brings a whole new emotional weight to the band’s sound.
"Avalanche" is more than just a single — it's a mirror, a warm embrace, a late-night phone call you didn’t know you needed. It doesn’t shout its brilliance. It whispers it. And in a world that’s already loud enough, that might be the most powerful thing of all.
It’s rare to find a project that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable, but ÉTATS D'ÂME somehow pulls it off. This isn’t just a band that writes songs — this is a band that feels for a living.
So yeah. Put this one on. Feel it all. Let it carry you.
Because sometimes, the most vivid emotions—are the ones that remind us we’re still alive.
“Avalanche” is available now on all major streaming platforms
