Aline's choice
Tom Rosenthal – Don't Die Curious
The English author, composer and performer is the master of feel good melancholy. For Don't Die Curious, he even pulled out the violins. Still, his song is perfect to listen to with morning coffee. In the cartoon clip, trumpeter ghosts, happy little clouds, Van Gogh and skeletons rub shoulders. For his emotional contrasts, but also his soft timbre and soaring highs, let Tom Rosenthal make a place in your playlist; You won't die curious, and you certainly won't regret it. (See here)
Noucky's picks
Carla Stark – Once A Cheater
Carla Stark is a young Belgian full of passion who has already delivered us a first title Start Starting, full of groove and enthusiasm; with a beautiful clip, Carla evokes the mourning of an old life, but especially the renewal and all the possibilities that are offered to us when we regain hope. Once a Cheater a second single from his first album to be released on March 21. Here, the atmosphere is more caliente, the music between Jazz and Tango and the mystical and fiery clip. Hats off to the extras who handle fire brilliantly! This time, it's more about betrayal and letting go of those who laugh at us. That is a cautionary tale. The atmosphere of the clip is once again very licked and we enter a little more in the universe of Carla Stark. See you soon for a new excerpt!
Her – Neighborhood
We told you the return of Her… There is only a month left to wait, until March 30 more exactly, before being able to listen to Her the new opus of the group. But to wait, here is a new title Neighborhood that offers the opportunity to evoke the concept of border, a very topical theme in a very well thought out clip (to discover HERE). And as good news rarely comes alone at Justfocus, this release is accompanied by a tour that will pass by the Olympia on April 25 before flying all over the world (Switzerland, Italy, USA, Canada, Germany …). Hold on!! It's not over! Starting in May, Her will offer a 5-episode mini-series called We Choose, on the Studio + application. This is called icing on the cake.
PAINLESS – In the stars
At the origin of the INDOLORE project, Guillaume and his need to take off, to see something else, to cut himself off from the world… It was Iceland that served as a refuge and not a valley on the outskirts of Reykjavik, where the Sigur Rós recording studio is located. It is in this setting full of daydreams and benevolence that the singer-songwriter was able to put his chords and his voice in the most natural and obvious way possible, giving birth to an EP, Love Letters from Eylenda, available now on all platforms. Like what sometimes the withdrawal on oneself can give birth to pretty things. To listen in peace.
Albin Lee Meldau – The Weight Is Gone
Albin's new track is a real feel good to start the week. We find with pleasure the voice so particular of this young Swedish artist. We discovered it a few months ago with the EP Bloodshot.Albin Lee Meldau now unveils The Weight is Gone, a pop song a bit groovy soul at will and downright catchy. We are waiting for his first album for the return of spring which promises to be under the best omens if we leave with this type of melody in the head!
Pentatonix – Coming 2018
Finally… I'm adding a little bonus: the Pentatonix teaser. Our favorite a cappella group is about to make a comeback. After the sad departure of Avi and the beginning of Kirstin's solo career we were afraid for the history of the band, but this little video makes us happy. A new voice and new titles are to be expected for the future. We are trembling with impatience!
Canek's choice
Janelle Monáe – Make Me Feel
Janelle Monáe is back with Make Me Feel. The tongue snap and swag-filled production made the song an instant dancefloor hit . Written by Justin Tranter and Julia Michaels behind the biggest hits of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, Make Me Feel is part of Janelle Monáe's upcoming album , Dirty Computer, something we look forward to.

Romain's choice
Bondax – Neo Soul
It had been about 3 years since the British duo from Lancaster had not released a title, without however having stopped playing in club. This is probably why, for the promotion of their first album that will be released soon, they chose to broadcast a resolutely club single, which contrasts with their previous achievements. A mix of electronics on a funk track, in which disco and soul accents are felt, accompanied by shimmering video rush taken in Seoul during a Korean tour last year.
Guillaume's choice
Shoshana Bean – Remember the Day
Shoshona Bean offers us a jazz journey with her new album "Spectrum". After 3 albums noticed in the United States, in a more R&B register (his albums having reached the first places of the top Billboard in this category, except for the last one which entered the top blues), the artist surprises us with a title full of strength, which would have easily found its place in Hollywood classics!

Emma's choices
Burn This Paradise – The Soul Is Gone
Alert to alternative lovers! Recently was born the project of Burn This Paradise, a southern and amateur group with various influences.The Soul Is Gone is the trio's first well-produced music video , and it's worth a visit. 4 minutes and 30 seconds of secret ballad with the appearance of a temporal rift, which already suggest a certain professionalism. The sound is homemade but the project is built, and the band is already planning to explore other styles. No other information for the moment, to know more it will be necessary to wait for the release of the EP …
Wallows – Pictures of Girls
Wallows is the newcomer to the Californian alternative and Pictures of Girls makes a contribution to this not so closed club. Neon, aged image and pastel colors, we can not say that the aesthetics is the most revolutionary, but the recipe works, so that we chain the pieces without any problem. It's good to listen to and we are already waiting for the release of their EP next spring. If the group has only planned American dates for the moment, two of the members of the group are to be found on the screen… We'll let you guess, but that's it! (See here)
Listen to it now!
