In 2010, French electronic artist Kavinsky teamed with Lovefoxxx from CSS to make a single that would end up being used in a 2011 movie called Drive. The song ended up being a hit in France (#10) and Belgium - hitting the charts in both Flanders and Wallonia.
Here is the song with a fan-made video. The song is deep and cool and brooding, and Lovefoxxx's unique vocals blend well with the music.
The song would be Kavinsky's 1st Top 10 hit and it was his first single.
Kavinsky passed away in 2026, which is terribly sad.
He did end up having one more top 10 hit in France, and it was a bigger hit, reaching #3. It would reach #4 in Wallonia and be the biggest hit he would ever had - in 2024.
You see, in 2024, Paris hosted the Olympic Games, and at the closing ceremony, well-known French band Phoenix performed their song "Liztomania". Then, they invited a guest to the stage - Kavinsky - to perform "Nightcall".
When it came time for the female part, it wasn't Lovefoxxx that came out, but rather Belgian superstar Angèle.
They would go on to release this song as a single, and it would become Kavinsky's biggest and final hit.
