Pi'erre Bourne is keeping the momentum going on his album Made In Paris. The Grammy Award-winning producer and rapper just dropped the official music video for "Retraite" via SossHouse/Interscope Records, and it lands exactly how you would expect from him: atmospheric, minimal, cinematic.

The visual pulls from the same aesthetic DNA as the album itself, pairing Bourne's signature production with imagery drawn from the city that inspired the project. If you have been sleeping on Made In Paris, the "Retraite" video is a clean entry point.

Pi'erre Bourne Made In Paris Tour Dates and What to Expect

The Made In Paris Tour kicks off August 19 at The Fillmore in San Francisco and runs through September 25, closing out with a final show in Paris at Les Étoiles. The routing hits Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, New York, Montreal, Toronto, London, Amsterdam, and Berlin along the way.

That is a proper run. North America into Europe, ending where the album began. For a project built around Paris as both a place and a feeling, wrapping the tour there is the right call.

Tickets are on sale now at yopierre.com. Los Angeles dates are the ones to watch for anyone in the city, so move early if you want a spot on the floor.

Why Pi'erre Bourne's Moves Matter for Independent Creators

Pi'erre built his name as one of the most distinctive producer-rappers operating right now. His sound is instantly recognizable, his aesthetic is consistent across every medium he touches, and he has done it largely on his own terms through SossHouse before bringing Interscope into the picture.

That path from independent creative infrastructure to major distribution without losing the visual and sonic identity is something every independent artist and producer should study. The "Retraite" video is not just content to fill a release cycle. It is a piece of a larger, intentional world being built around this album.

For LA-based creators watching how to take a project from recording to rollout to a full live campaign, Made In Paris is a working case study right now.
