It can be said that one of the most celebrated French musicians to have ever walked the planet is The Supermen Lovers.
You might be thinking that The Supermen Lovers is a group or a band, which glorifies the famed superhero, all completely clad in their mighty red and blue outfits.
But just to burst your bubble, The Superman Lovers is actually a solo artist who managed to captivate hordes of music-crazed fans into his fresh approach on the French house, tech house and funky house genres.
Born Guillaume Atlan, The Supermen Lovers is Atlan’s way of entering the music industry with a bang using his shrewdness to claim more attention.
Raised in the musically inclined city of Paris, The Supermen Lovers became inspired as young as 8 years old, when he enrolled to the Francis Poulenc Conservatory and mastered solfège and piano.
From then on, Atlan never let go of his passion and continued to build up a skill that is incomparable to the rest of his colleagues.
It was in 1999 when he put his musical ingenuity to good use by releasing his first ever-electronic album entitled School under the illustrious UK music mogul, Cyclo.
As if producing music under a respectable outfit is not enough, The Supermen Lovers tried venturing out in putting up a label of his own, which was realized via Lafesse Records. W Here, he continuously produced house music under the incognito Stan de Mareuil.
A year after, Atlan as an artist found a dead end under his pseudonym. a He then decided to jump onto a more rigorous task of stretching his musical audience by entering the mainstream. This was when The Supermen Lovers was born as a tribute to a track of the same title by French artist Johnny Guitar Watson.
The year 2000 can be considered as The Supermen Lovers’ ultimate opportunity in rising to worldwide fame upon the release of a very iconic track entitled Starlight.
This song pretty much established The Supermen Lovers’ capacity to craft music that will be adored by many, especially because it was influenced by Mani Hoffman as a co-writer and Onili doing the back-up vocals.
Bigger music labels have come to realize the gem inside The Supermen Lovers’ being, and BMG signed Atlan up for his first major contract in 2001. Media exposure was harnessed for The Superman Lovers, until everything became ripe for a much-awaited album entitled The Player, released in 2001.
The song Starlight has never ceased to appear on countless music charts and ranked very well as the number 2 single in France and the UK at that time.
Not surprisingly, this track also recounted The Supermen Lovers as a promising, budding artist in countries like Italy, Spain, Germany, Australia and Belgium.
The Player, as an album, contained tracks that are extremely popular in the general music scene such as Hard Stuff, Family Business, Dance With You and Diamonds For Her.
These paved the way for French House to be respected as a musical genre during those times.
In general, The Supermen Lovers was able to produce several LP records and mixtapes, which evolved into four studio albums. The latest of which was Alterations, released last 2014.
Some other singles that are listed under The Supermen Lovers’ belt include Bus Stop (2005), Take a Chance (2010), We Got That Booty (2012) and Moments (2013).
The Supermen Lovers also ventured into collaborating with a plethora of artists by giving their respective singles a remix that no one else can carry out aside from Atlan himself.
