Partenaire Particulier was a French synthpop band that was quite popular in France during the second half of the 1980s.
The band was founded in the mid-80’s by songwriters Eric Fettweis and Pierre Béraud-Sudreau. Although they wrote all of the band’s material together, both felt that a band “had to have 3 members” so a third member, Dominique Delaby, was added to the line-up. However, he left the band quickly after the release of their first 7” to pursue a career in advertising. He was briefly replaced by another “third guy”, Laurent Letrillard, for the release of their second 7”, but things didn’t work out with him either, so the band decided to finally stick to their initial two-person lineup.
The band’s career began when their first 7”, aptly called “Partenaire Particulier”, became one of the big hits of the year 1985 in France, going platinum and reaching position 3 in the charts. The track defined the style of the band: upbeat pop, with prominent use of synthesizers and drum machines.
A second single entitled “Je N’Oublierai Jamais” was released in 1986, following the lineup change. It was less suscessful than “Partenaire Particulier” but still did well in the charts and reinforced the band’s fame.
Later that year, they released their first LP, “Jeux Interdits”, which comprised the two hit singles and added 6 more songs, the highlight of the album being certainly the New Order-esque closer “Seul Ce Soir”.
