Polo & Pan – Rainbow

It's summer but it's raining. That's good, while waiting for his second album (the first released last year full of good things), the duo Polo & Pan (Paul Armand-Delille and Alexandre Grynszpan) returns with a song entitled Arc-en-ciel. After the highly appreciated Secluded Beach, Canopy and Crusader Heart, they blow a breath of fresh air in a colorful acidulous universe.

Shakira, Maluma – Clandestino

Clandestino is the third collaboration of megastars Shakira and Maluma, after Chantaje and Trap. This time, Clandestino is a mix between reggae and reggaeton, ready for the heat of summer. At the same time, Clandestino is a hymn to forbidden love " lo nuestro es ilegal y no te voy a negar, que yo pago la condena por besarte " (our love is forbidden, and I will not deny the fact that I am willing to pay the fine for kissing you). Shakira will be in concert in Paris on June 13 and 14 at the Accorhotels Arena, for an evening that promises to be memorable.

Ariana Grande – Arturo Sandoval

Famous Cuban trumpeter Arturo Sandoval is back with an album titled Ultimate Duets that features collaborations with Stevie Wonder and Latin artists Alejandro Sanz and Juan Luis Guerra. At the same time, Ariana Grande and Pharell join this exhaustive list of talents for the jazz-pop-latino track Arturo Sandoval. Indeed, the song Arturo Sandoval is the third project with Latin touches in which Pharell participates, after the worldwide success of Camila Cabello's Havana , which has already reached 887 million streams on Spotify, making Cabello the only woman to reach this number on the streaming platform. Will Arturo Sandoval have the same success? It's up to you!

JAFFNA – Beyond feat. Dyllan

JAFFNA is a sound we love more and more. A subtle and vibrant electro music, almost caressing. This last title is really gripping and the little clip that accompanies it all cute and touching. Their EP RETROGRADE, released on April 20 , is a little gem that we never get tired of. We recommend it!

Ólafur Arnalds, SOHN – unfold

Olafur Arnalds continues the story he started lastApril with his first video for the title re:member, the first single from his latest album to come.  While the first clip followed a young man partying with his friends who ended up in a way… Mysteriously tragic; Here we follow a young woman that this young man would have met in the first clip. In the same way as in the first extract, the ending is very enigmatic… We are waiting for the outcome or keys to understanding with the rest of the album. We finally have a date. It will be released on August 24th but we will tell you about it very soon!

Joe Bel – In the Morning
 
We have just discovered a superb voice that comes back from Canada where she recorded her first titles. Joe Bel is one of those artists who very quickly made the guitar/voice scene wherever it was possible to do so. She had the opportunity to open for Asaf Avidan and one of the songs from her second EP was chosen for a Longchamp commercial. Today, she is preparing to release her first album in September and begins to unveil a first title. Between folk and soul, a mix that works wonderfully and that we particularly appreciate. In other words, we are curious to hear more!Be continued.
 
 
Øllebirde – You Let Me Down
 
An intro that sounds like Gossip, then this voice both anchored and airy. The whole thing is rock, but with an electro dimension in addition that shakes the composition. Behind this Nordic-sounding name, hide 3 French: Margot, Jérémy and Fabrice. Their influences oscillate between Nirvana, Bowie (their cover of The Man Who Sold the World is rather hallucinating), Nada surf and London Grammar… A diversity that can be felt in their way of composing. A beautiful energy emerges from this title! We missed them on the first of June at the Bus Palladium but we hope there will be other opportunities.
 
 
Yasmine Hamdan – Douss
 
Yasmine Hamdan, it was this haunting voice from Lebanon that completely mesmerized us when she landed on the soundtrack of Only Lovers Left Alive by Jim Jarmusch. She has just released an album, Jamilat Reprise, which is a revisited version of some of her tracks from her latest album Al Jamilat… In addition electro. It sounds pretty good at all and we advise you to take a look!
 
 
FULL LVNE – Eyes Blinded & Heavy Heart
 

Duo based in Lyon, PLEINE LVNE was born from the meeting of Nicolas Gasparotto and Laure Villemin in September 2017. Their music is a posed dream pop that began to make its way with a first EP Tempest, released on March 2nd. These two musicians now deliver us a small homemade live session , without fuss that allows us to enter more into their musical intimacy. Eyes Blinded & Heavy Heart is a new title that talks about the desire to flee everyday life to open up to others and relieve your sorrows. We feel a strong need for affection, for human warmth. This escape necessary for our survival is expressed here as a spleen. Other songs are expected for the start of the school year.

The Internet – Come Over

Syd, Matt Martians, Patrick Paige II, Christopher Smith and Steve Lacy in the same band: it's The Internet. The merry band of Californians returns this week with the video for Come Over, from their new album coming on July 20, Hive Mind. Five couples and five atmospheres staged and interpreted by the members of the group, all accompanied by an alternative soul and an appearance by Quinta Brunson… Enough to fall amoureu.x.se! The band will go through a few European festivals and will continue on a North American tour in September. We just have to wait!
