“Take it Back” is a new single by Étienne de Crécy, a founding figure of the French Touch. A melodic, melancholic pop departure from his usual electro-house, it features US dream-pop band Sports and previews his album “Warm Up” (released March 14, 2025).
Some artists always manage to reinvent themselves, and Étienne de Crécy proves he can after all these years on the international electronic scene. The French producer (a founding father and legend of the French Touch) catches us off guard with his latest track, “Take it Back.” A genuine departure from his usual style, it’s a dive into soft, melodic pop sounds touched with sensual melancholy.
It’s a surprising turn for an artist who established himself as a pioneer of French electro-house. With “Take it Back,” de Crécy explores new musical emotions while keeping impeccable production. He produced the track in collaboration with dream-pop band Sports, from Oklahoma. The vocals, arrangements and lyrics resonate in an almost intimate way, inviting the listener on an introspective journey.
