French electronic producer Notre Dame returns with his latest single Candy Cloud, released via his expanding PARANORMAL label. The track arrives with a full-length anime-style music video crafted by French animator duo Le Megapack, continuing Notre Dame’s fusion of music, visual art, and narrative storytelling.
Following his early autumn collaborative single with Alex Wann, The City on Armada, Candy Cloud represents the next step in Notre Dame’s ambitious vision for PARANORMAL—a creative ecosystem uniting music, art, and design. To celebrate the release, he will host a two-day gallery pop-up in Paris on November 22 & 23, offering fans an immersive experience blending DJ sets, visual art, merchandise, and an interactive installation of the anime video’s protagonist.
“Candy Cloud is not just a track for me, it’s more like an entire universe,” shares Notre Dame. “From an animated full-length Manga music video to a limited edition 12″ vinyl, a super limited edition art toy of the video’s protagonist, and an exclusive art gallery event in Paris, every piece tells the same dreamy story about illusion, nostalgia, and belief. The gallery exhibition brings it all together—a bridge between music, art, and childhood imagination.”
The pop-up experience will feature life-size versions of the manga protagonist, early drafts of the music video, and exclusive collectibles including vinyl, apparel, and limited-edition art figures. Each figure is paired with premium packaging and a custom USB containing unreleased Notre Dame music, offering fans a tangible piece of his multimedia world.
Since founding PARANORMAL less than a year ago, Notre Dame has transformed the label into a hub for audiovisual innovation, with previous releases like Do For Your Love, Recollection, and Haunted Nights earning support from industry heavyweights including Keinemusik, Solomun, and Adriatique. Candy Cloud coincides with the label’s debut showcase in Paris, solidifying Notre Dame’s vision of blending music and visual art into immersive experiences.
2025 has been a breakout year for Notre Dame, highlighted by his Adriatique collaboration on Timbaland & Nelly Furtado’s Give It To Me rework, contributions to Solomun’s DIYNAMIC and Anyma’s Quantum Echoes compilation, high-profile remixes for Röyksopp, Lenny Kravitz, and Blond:ish, a sold-out U.S. tour, and releases across Kitsuné and Insomniac. Once an artist who left the corporate world, Notre Dame has emerged as one of France’s most inventive voices in contemporary electronic music.
Candy Cloud is available now via PARANORMAL, with the Paris pop-up experience running November 22 & 23.
