My Dear is a French electronic duo consisting of veteran producer Raw Man (Romain Seo) and his partner Blanche. Raw Man brings a deep pedigree from the French Touch scene, having collaborated with Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo on the Crydamoure label.
This project, however, pivots away from the high-energy filter house of his youth toward a more refined, downtempo synth-pop aesthetic. Their sound identity is defined by a 'soft-focus' production style, utilizing vintage hardware to create a sense of warmth and intimacy. Since their debut in 2014, they have maintained a consistent focus on themes of romance and seasonal nostalgia. Critically, they are viewed as part of a sophisticated wave of French 'Chanson-lectro' that prioritizes mood and texture over dancefloor utility. Their work occupies a space between the dream-pop of Air and the modern indie-electronic sensibilities of artists like Holy Two, making them a staple for curators of 'chillout' and 'late-night' playlists.
