Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"Midnight City" is a song by French electronic music band M83. The track was first released in France on August 16, 2011, as the lead single from the group's sixth studio album, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. The song was written by Anthony Gonzalez, Yann Gonzalez, Morgan Kibby and Justin Meldal-Johnsen. The track saw international success, peaking at number eight in France and charting on Billboard's Top Alternative Songs and Top Rock Songs. Due to French network TF1's use of the song as the closing theme after the UEFA Euro 2012 football matches, the song topped the digital French chart. Elsewhere, "Midnight City" rose to acclaim in the United Kingdom in 2012, following its selection as the theme to reality TV show Made in Chelsea and prominent usage for the BBC's London 2012 Olympic Games coverage; currently peaking at number thirty-four on the UK Singles Chart.
A music video for "Midnight City", directed by Fleur & Manu, was released on 17 October 2011. The video features telekinetic children who escape a federal facility and test their powers in an abandoned factory. The video is the first part of a trilogy which continues in the video for "Reunion" and is concluded in the video for "Wait".
"The track has already had a million hits, and now Fleur & Manu's video for M83's Midnight City introduces a set of Village Of The Damned kids with very special powers (courtesy of some awesome VFX). Fleur & Manu have achieved movie-style scale with this, thanks to the exceptional 3D and AE work out of Machine Molle and Home Digital Pictures respectively. Feels like this story is just beginning... (David Knight, Promonews)
