French singer and songwriter Pierre Welsh, the leader of the project Pierre Welsh & the Oaks, presents his new single that takes your breath away from the very first notes. “Damned & Adored” is a vibrant Indie Pop track with elements of Alt Pop, reflecting the scandalous and turbulent history of Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith. A male artist, who disappeared, provoking controversy and dividing society into two camps: some idolize him, while others fiercely condemn him. But at the heart of this emotional storm is a female character who stands guard over the truth and protects the most valuable thing left from his creation.

“Damned & Adored” is not just about love or art; it’s about how the life and work of an artist are inextricably linked, and how truth can only be preserved through his creations. This track will definitely make you think, feel, and reconsider everything you knew about love and art.
