The Palme d’Or nominated film, Mon Roi (or My King), finds itself with an exciting trailer built around the almost dub-step anthem of Son Lux’s “Easy,” a song released in 2013 on his album “Lanterns.” Ryan Lott, whose stage name is Son Lux, is originally from Denver, Colorado, and has released five full-length albums and a few EPs. He also collaborates with fellow artists Serengeti and Sufjan Stevens in the band Sisyphus and has even scored a few films, including Paper Towns (2015) and The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby (2013).

The film, directed by Maïwenn (Polisse), is the recovery story of a woman named Tony, who spends her time rehabilitating from a severe skiing accident reminiscing about a past love. Actress Emmanuelle Bercot won Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for her performance as Tony while co-starring with César Award winner Vincent Cassel, who plays her past love.

The song is reminiscent of raindrops falling into a surging ocean, instilling a rhythmic flow with simple, ghostly lyrics and back and forth synth. As previously described, a sort of edgy dub-step nature is adhered to the song, fizzling in and out throughout the song’s progression. The eventual inclusion of the claps and stabbing horns makes it a truly unique and memorable piece that carries it above the easy listening tune that it initially sets out as.
