ZazieSpeed

After the Happy Tour, it's back for Zazie. Three years after unveiling her latest album Encore Heureux, certified Gold, the singer from Hauts-de-Seine returns with Speed, a title of the most original with extreme musical technicality, but sumptuous. His poetry opens on a piano, mixed with the softness of his very scratchy voice, then launches the instruments by accentuating the rhythm, to finish in apotheosis on a hint of Coldplay. An immensely flamboyant comeback with the appearance of a hit for Zazie, who will probably leave her red chair as coach of The Voice next year to devote herself to her personal projects, starting with an album. Note that a tour should be scheduled in the coming months. Follow…

ThylacineWar Dance

The song War Dance by the French Thylacine (who had accustomed on his album Transsiberian to electronic and house sounds), combines here two terms they seem irreconcilable. Musically, the contradiction is served by military, metallic and dark accents, and the occurrence of a sax that elevates. Visually, director Cyprien Clément-Delmas manages to skillfully combine, in a film clip filmed in Ukraine, violence and beauty: through sequences that intertwine hand-to-hand combat simulation of soldiers, tank ballets and choreography shot in hospital, among real convalescents.

JainAlright

The French Afro-pop star is back with Alright. After a huge success with his first studio album entitled Zanaka, and his hits Come and the dancing Makeba, Alright announces the release of his second studio album on August 24, 2018. Catchy as ever, Alright is a hymn to love to enjoy the summer to the fullest because " Things gonna be alright, if love is around ". Along with Christine and The Queens, Jain is one of the most anticipated pop comebacks of 2018.

KristelIrony

Definitely rock, Kristel returns with a new title and a new video. Strong, powerful, intense, almost violent, especially uncompromising. Always sung in Malagasy, the young woman tells us here about her origins and what has made her who she is: succeeding where there is nothing to hope for. Musically it reminds us of angry and committed rock singers. It seems that Kristel has found her place among the greats!

GurrHot Summer

Winner of the IMPALA European Album of the Year award, Gurr is a German duo that offers us a punchy track, falsely summer hit, but much less wise and mainstream. A real boost and a piece that gets into your head effectively. We love the guitars that catch, the super singing voices, between candor and the rough side of a rock that strums. This new single announces a new opus after their first album In My Head released in 2016. And it makes you want to!

Marc SalvadorShadow

Small discovery of last weekend. Marc Salvador is from Geneva and offers a well-calibrated music that puts fishing. Between rock, pop and electro, it reminds us of Phoenix; its sound is clearly in line with the French Touch and works perfectly. In this title, the artist tells us about dreams that we have abandoned and that can come back to haunt us like shadows so that we can fulfill them. How about you? What are you doing right now?

An Eagle In Your MindFlows

We are fond of this kind of unlikely mix that makes us travel far … Very far. Between folk, electro, Hip Hop, psychedelic sound that is reminiscent of the 70s, the music of An Eagle In Your Mind is made of encounter, experimentation where instruments from the end of the world come to join sacred voices on a more Western composition. It's fine and elaborate, it's beautiful and full of subtlety. We love it!

Gregory's choices

Shawn MendesNervous

The young Canadian singer who released his third eponymous opus a few days ago, offers us a new promotional single entitled Nervous. Co-written with singer Julia Michaels, this track reminds us of Justin Timberlake with a little raw instrumental side of the most pleasant. The perfect title for this sunny spring.

Melissa BonBlank

Discovered in 2014 during the third season of The Voice, Melissa Bon was spotted by Mika, then saved by Garou during battles. Today, she releases her first single with the label LA Café, from the EP Away announced for June 15. If you loved Solange's latest album and fell in love with the Chloe x Halle sisters, you'll succumb to Melissa Bon's mesmerizing charm. In concert on June 4th at the Pop Up of the Label

Emma's choice

King PrincessTalia

19 years old and already an anthem to the LGBTQ community in reserve, the young New Yorker does not seem to want to stop there. King Princess was signed at the age of 11, but it was last February that she unveiled 1950, the first single to the clip featuring a most spring idyll. Talia is part of the continuity of the romance at the heart of the girl's project, and we discover a clip more sensual than the last, lit in neon colors. For now, only a few American dates and few clues about the release of a first EP… We keep our eyes open!

HONNEMe & You

Fans of pop with chill sounds, you have undoubtedly already heard of HONNE, possibly thanks to Day 1 or Warm On A Cold Night. This time it is with Me & You that the English duo teases their next album Love Me , Love Me Not scheduled for August 24th. The music video is in collaboration with INTRO Dance Music Studio, a South Korean dance studio that filmed a choreography on Day 1 on their Youtube channel. A teamwork that makes us discover some urban landscapes of Korea and that benefits the feel good side of the song. HONNE will be at the Maroquinerie in Paris on November 16th !
