French singer-songwriter and guitarist Matthieu Chedid uses -M- as his stage name. In January 2017, he scored a Carte Blanche Music Wildcard with Bal De Bamako, a great song that could have been a huge hit when released a few months later.

22 years after his debut album, -M- just put out his seventh studio album Lettre Infinie. The title track is his new single, but I’d like to introduce you to the album track Grand Petit Con. Not a song that will likely yield him many new friends, as the title means ‘big little asshole’. But never mind, if you don’t speak French 😉.

Grand Petit Con is another funk-infused pop stomper that would sound great on the radio. Non-French radio, that is…
