French, London-based artist Adrien Latgé brings a working musician’s perspective to indie-folk. His résumé includes Black Deer Festival, Sofar Sounds and a million-stream collaboration with Jessie Reid under his earlier Easymess moniker. On “it’s probably me”, those achievements sit alongside the pressure to keep proving yourself.
Written as Latgé approached thirty, the song examines ambition at an age when comparison can become an exhausting daily habit. There’s real bite in that premise: even an impressive list of gigs and collaborations leaves room for doubt about where a career should go next.

Working with producer Joey Walker, Latgé pushes his acoustic songwriting towards a modern, shifting production approach. That choice serves a song concerned with reinvention and the effort involved in keeping pace. The strongest idea here is success as a moving target, with every achievement followed by another demand. Latgé gives that familiar professional anxiety a personal and quietly compelling focus.
