Background

On 25 August 2017, Amir announced on Facebook that he would be releasing his new album on 27 October 2017 and the album would include the single "États d'Amour".[2] He announced the title of the album to be Addictions on 7 September 2017, he also unveiled the album's cover art.[3][4][5]

Critical reception

Katie Wilson from Wiwibloggs said, "With Addictions taking two years to produce, there isn’t one track on the album that has been rushed or overlooked. Like his first album Au coeur de moi, the tracks are a mixture of French and English combining upbeat pop with more mellow and heartfelt sounds. One track that stands out is "Opium", which shows off Amir’s evolution as an artist. While he sings in French, his style is all-American, bringing in one of those classically lyricless techno choruses that bears resemblance to One Republic, from across the pond. Amir has clearly been learning on the job, and the work is paying off! Yes, Amir hasn’t strayed far from his original style, but it doesn’t leave us bored either. He has found a formula that works, so he’s sticking to it."[6]

Singles

"États d'Amour" was released as the lead single from the album on 25 August 2017, peaking to number 40 on the French Singles Chart.
