PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
Swiss born French singer-songwriter-guitarist Félix Rabin, who seamlessly blends Euro soul-pop with rock, blues, some funk and even a touch of prog, will release his brand new EP Blue Days on Friday 4th April 2025 via Damp Music.
Félix and his band will also be supporting the new EP with a ten date tour of the UK in April (see dates above).
Blue Days, which includes the shimmering Euro-pop-rock of ‘As She Comes,’ atmospheric ballad ‘Find Me‘ and a vibrant, hard-pop arrangement of ‘Bruce Springsteen’s’ ‘Dancing in the Dark’ (all previous singles) help define who Félix Rabin is as a songwriter, singer, and melodically atmospheric player – one with a European sound (2025 will also see him make further inroads on the European circuit) but with British rock & blues sensibilities.
The EP is completed by a beautifully heartfelt, soulful love song titled ‘What You Need’ and a delicate acoustic/ piano-led version of ‘As She Comes.’
Blue Days also took a lot of long nights to complete, as Félix confirms:
“I thought I would have this EP completed and released in under a year. I was wrong!
This release took many shapes and names before becoming what it is today, but as I started to gather these songs together I realised they had a unifying vibe, one that deeply resonated with me, as I experienced some of the most meaningful and intense moments I’ve yet been through as I approached my thirtieth year.
The results are an EP that is also a little musical book about me in my twenties, and the significance of turning thirty.”
Track List
As She Comes
Find Me
What You Need
Dancing In The Dark
As She Comes (Acoustic)
The EP consists of five songs that will embed in your brain for days. Two of my favourite songs are ‘Find Me’ and ‘Dancing In The Dark’.
The best compliment I can give to ‘Find Me’ is that it’s as close as you can get to a musical summer breeze blowing through your hair courtesy of chiming guitar lines, prominent drum patterns, all pinned down by a smile inducing vocal to melt the coldest heart.
‘Dancing In The Dark’, yep the Bruce Springsteen classic as Felix takes some balls to put his stamp on this song. Of course he’s going to smash it which he does with aplomb as hefty riffing, interspersed with serene guitar lines, closes the song on a full on rock out. Fantastic! Take a bow Felix!

The upcoming tour in support of Blue Days is as significant to Félix as the EP…
“This tour feels like a milestone to me, as it will be my tenth in the UK! From starting out playing London clubs to opening for the likes of classic rock legends Wishbone Ash and Samantha Fish, to my first headline tour, I feel fortunate, and lucky, to be able to continually return to my second home, where I can play to, and meet, my most dedicated fans and audiences.
I’ll be turning thirty just before this tour starts so these dates are the greatest Birthday gift I could ask for, playing tracks from Blue Days, and new songs that will appear on my forthcoming debut album.
Thanks to all of you who have supported me since those first gigs, and those who have joined me along the way. I hope to see you all in April so I can celebrate this continuing journey with you all!”
