Following on from the enormous response to his recent singles ‘Have You Ever Loved Someone’, ‘Name In Lights’, and ‘Tell You I Love You’, which follow on from his latest EP ‘I Wish I Was Flawless, I’m Not’ from the start of the year, award-winning Liverpudlian artist Michael Nelson aka BANNERS is continuing his prolific run with the uplifting new offering ‘C’est La Vie’.
Capturing more of that bright and euphoric indie-pop aesthetic he has become synonymous with over the years, ‘C’est La Vie’ makes for a wondrous return from the artist at the helm. With its rich and glossy aesthetic perfectly elevating his joyous vocal performance throughout, he continues to cement himself as one of the more captivating names doing the rounds today.

Shot mostly in a single take, the artist makes his way from room to room, almost fast-forwarding through the most memorable moments of his life, before finally venturing off into the unknown.

Adding about ‘C’est La Vie’, he said, “’C'est la vie’ is about all that life throws at you. Being alright with it because you're doing it all with people you love. I've had this song stuck in my head ever since I wrote it. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing but it's your problem now.”
About BANNERS
Liverpool based award-winning singer-songwriter Michael Nelson, aka BANNERS, was seven when he started his “musical apprenticeship.” He sang every day after school in one of the UK’s most well-known cathedrals but it was a chance trip with his producer father to a studio in Toronto that proved life-changing for the musician. Shortly after, a demo CD he made found its way to Grammy-nominated producer Stephen Kozmeniuk.
His first single shot straight to number one on the alternative radio charts in Canada, garnering 10 million Spotify streams overnight and an invite to perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live! BANNERS quickly became a household name in North America and Canada, with a viral TikTok moment for his song “Someone To You” earning over 1.5 billion streams. The song went Platinum and Gold in multiple countries and led to an appearance on American Idol. With his latest EP, I Wish I Was Flawless, I’m Not, Michael says he’s drawn on his own personal experience of the last few years. Many of the songs focus on the things that matter the most when times are tough – like close friends, family and love.
