Adventure (Madeon album)

Adventure is the debut studio album by French DJ and record producer Madeon. It was released on 30 March 2015 through Popcultur and Columbia Records. The album features talent and vocals from Kyan, Dan Smith from Bastille, Passion Pit, Mark Foster from Foster the People and Aquilo and was produced entirely by Madeon himself.

The album was promoted by five singles: "Imperium", "You're On", "Pay No Mind", "Home" and "Nonsense", while the deluxe version also includes "Icarus", "Finale", "The City", "Cut the Kid", "Technicolor" and a bonus track in collaboration with Vancouver Sleep Clinic. The album received positive reviews from critics.

In May 2013, Leclercq stated in several interviews that he had begun working on his debut album. At this time, the release was expected to be in early 2014. He revealed his intention to release at least eleven new tracks in 2014, further hinting a possible album release in 2014. In May 2014, he predicted a release date for the second half of 2014.

In early 2014, Leclercq took several months off touring "to focus on writing [his] album". Leclercq began creating "an Adventure sample pack and a collection of a few signature sounds to use throughout album [...] before writing more songs".

In June, Porter Robinson, a good friend of Leclercq, answered a question regarding Adventure in his Reddit Ask Me Anything as: "i've heard madeon's album and it's FUCKING magificent. i've been singing one of them all goddamn day [sic]". Leclercq later confirmed on Twitter that Robinson was referring to the third single "Pay No Mind".

Later in 2014, Leclercq gave out first details about the album. In July, he answered a question on Tumblr on how to describe his album as "start[ing] somewhere and tak[ing] you somewhere else. It goes from euphoric and pop to emotional and widescreen." In an interview, Leclercq revealed that the album will feature "not just club tracks [but] songs and music that touches [him] [it] uses electronic elements, but goes beyond the DJ-role format," also suggesting a new show after the album.

In November, Leclercq promised new music, hinting the release of "You're On", and finished the official artworks for the album a few days later.

Leclercq announced the album's name, Adventure, on 8 December 2014 and premiered of the second single "You're On".
