Opinion is the pseudonym under which Hugo Carmouze chose to release his solo albums at the age of 13. Despite being recorded in his room with rudimentary equipment, Opinion's albums quickly found resonance in the French scene, combining seriousness, hyperactivity, and great creativity. In nearly a decade, Opinion's music has undergone multiple transformations, always driven by Carmouze's creative madness, capable of producing triple albums, folk songs, selective collaborations, and side projects. At the dawn of his 18th year, the musician settled in Bordeaux and released his seventh album under the name Opinion. "Molly" (2020), a monumental double album that explores themes of solitude and passionate love. The album received a very enthusiastic critical reception. While the energy and inspiration from the Californian garage scene continue to be a significant foundation of his music, Opinion unfolds in a diverse range of influences, showcasing an emotional sensitivity reminiscent of Kurt Cobain or Elliott Smith. Accompanied since 2020 by a band, Opinion quickly turned the stage into a playground as exciting as the studio. Performances are intense, oscillating between noisy urgency and disconcerting fragility. After numerous concerts and albums released, Opinion announces 2 highly anticipated new albums for 2024: “Horrible” (recorded on the night of December 31st to January 1st, 2023) & "Troisième Opinion" (his album recorded between 2020 and 2024).
