The trilingual track, which dropped on Sunday, 7/7, coincides with a special date: her grandparents’ anniversary. This meaningful release date adds an extra layer of emotion and significance to the song. “Tourbillon,” (French for whirlwind) is a powerful exploration of the cyclical nature of toxic relationships. Dropping the track on her grandparents’ anniversary, Møya Rey underscores her belief in unconditional love. This juxtaposition highlights the contrast between tumultuous romantic entanglements and the enduring, unwavering love her grandparents represent, adding layers of meaning to the song’s narrative.
“Tourbillon,” stands out not only for its vibrant blend of French, English, and Spanish lyrics but also for its unique collaborative genesis.

Opting for anonymity, the vocalist’s voice is brought to life through the presence of Møya’s close friend, Caël Domond, who stars as the love interest in the music video. A French-Haitian artist himself, Caël’s involvement deepens the song’s transatlantic artistic vision. His role not only represents the elusive, mysterious figure in the song’s narrative but also reinforces the theme of a shared Black artistic lens that transcends geographical boundaries. With Caël’s authentic French-Haitian background, “Tourbillon“ becomes a vibrant celebration of multicultural influences and artistic unity, enriching the track’s exploration of love, toxicity, and self-empowerment.

Møya Rey‘s “Tourbillon,” is a testament to her artistic vision, blending elements from two vibrant cities. Recorded in the heart of Paris, France, and brought to life through stunning visuals filmed in both New York and Paris, the song embodies a true transatlantic collaboration. Møya Rey took creative control not only in front of the microphone but also behind the scenes, as she meticulously edited and color-graded the video herself in addition to creating the cover art.

“Tourbillon,” opens with a poignant bridge, “Send me some flowers” a symbol of honesty and deep affection. This sets the tone for a song that explores themes of love, choice, and vulnerability.
The first verse reveals the depth of the ghost writer’s feelings. Although a fictive plot, both artists collaborated to enhance the meaning of a toxic, cyclical relationship. With lines like “I got more than flowers for you, cause you’re the one I choose,” the song speaks to the profound connection between the artist and her muse, referring to them as her “unique rendez-vous.“
**Verse 1**
I got more than flowers for you
Cause you’re the one I choose
Cherie, I fuck with you
T’est mon unique rendez-vous

The chorus blends French, English, and Spanish, reflecting the cross-cultural relationship at the heart of the song. “Tu y yo, it’s like a tourbillon (damn)” captures the dizzying, whirlwind nature of love, or rather toxic situationships perceived as love.
**Chorus**
Tu y yo (Spanish – you and I )
it’s like a (English)
tourbillon (French – Whirlwind)
In the hook, Møya Rey conveys a sense of longing and desire, highlighting the intoxicating effect her partner has on her. The lyrics “Can’t get enough when you sip from my cup” is a double entendre and testament to the deep, almost addictive connection shared between the two.
**Hook**
Can’t get enough
When you sip from my cup
Tell me the truth
If it’s convenient to you
Opened my heart
When speaking to you
I don’t know about it
Gotta feeling in my body
The second verse delves deeper into the ghost writer’s feelings, describing The blend of French and English continues, emphasizing the partner’s love for the French language and the impact they have on Møya Rey‘s life.
**Verse 2**
You should know how I feel about this girl,
She’s my drug, she’s my world
She loves when I speak French
Oh honey
Now my life won’t be the same
It drives me insane
How she’s a saint
In the concluding notes of “Tourbillon“ Møya Rey delivers a powerful message about self-empowerment and the strength to walk away from toxic relationships. The lyrics “Cause you know I’m not the one” might initially seem like a moment of resignation, but they actually serve as a bold declaration of self-worth and strength. In the context of the song’s exploration of toxic relationships, this final line is a fierce affirmation that Møya Rey is “not the one to be messed with.” It’s a powerful reminder that recognizing your own value means not settling for anything less than respect and love. This outro transforms what could be seen as a defeat into a statement of self-love and resilience, making it clear that she will no longer tolerate being treated poorly. “Tourbillon“ultimately stands as a testament to the importance of self-affirmation and the strength it takes to reject toxic dynamics and embrace one’s own worth.
“Tourbillon“ is more than just a song; it’s an emotional journey that captures the complexities of love and relationships. With its trilingual lyrics and compelling narrative, it is sure to resonate with a diverse audience. Notably, the first and second verses were co-written by a talented French artist who wishes to remain a ghostwriter, adding an authentic bilingual flair to the piece.
