Your favourite Netflix series to (shamefully?) binge-watch just got a little bit cooler. If you listen closely, you’ll hear Montreal art-punk band La Sécurité’s “Serpent – Standard Emmanuel remix” underscoring the recently released back half of Emily In Paris season 4. More specifically the single is soundtracking a scene in Episode 7 where our heroine (played by Lily Collins) discovers a betrayal.
Connecting with RANGE while appropriately wearing a beret, frontwoman Éliane Viens-Synnott discusses how the collaboration came together. “With the lyrics, ‘Pense-tu vraiment que j’suis pas au courant’ (“Do you really think I don’t know”), it’s sort of like falling out of a friendship,” she says. “When I’m not doing the music stuff, I’ve dabbled a lot in choreography and the contemporary dance world, and have chosen certain songs for certain moods to create a soundscape or a soundtrack, so it’s cool that something that we created together was considered for that.”
Noting that the first thing she would do if she found herself in Paris would be to people-watch at a café in Montmartre and “pretend to be French,” Viens-Synnott equates the current popularity and appeal of a show like Emily In Paris to what Sex In The City was for herself growing up.
“It’s well-written, and the fact that women are put in this empowered stature, I think that’s cool,” she says.
As for whether or not Emily will stay with Gabrielle or if she gets back together with Alfie – well, you’ll just have to watch for yourself to find out who the true “Serpent” is.
