AURORA – All Is Soft Inside
No one expected it. On Friday, AURORA released a new surprise album, but that's just the beginning! Indeed, Infections Of A Different Kind is only the first part and its eight titles will quickly know a sequel. Inside, there are many songs that we had the opportunity to hear at his concert at Badaboum (link report) which unfortunately lose a little energy in studio version. However, a real crush on All Is Soft Inside… Waiting for the sequel.

Columbine – Bart Simpson
The band's third album, Adieu BientĂŽt, was released on September 28. It is a baptism by fire for those who do not yet know the most borderline French rap group of the time. Bart Simpson begins with a slightly melodramatic intro: "On the trigger I have Parkinson's, You love us for our dark parts, Every day the same t-shirt as Bart Simpson, Do re mi fa I touched the ground". Trash, poetic, touching, romantic, violent, vulgar, dark, graceful. It's Columbine all spit out. And brothel, we love it.

Alt-J feat. Lomepal – 3WW
After his featuring with the Belgian rapper Romeo Elvis on 1000 ° C, it is this time an appearance on the album of the English group Alt-J that Lomepal shares on the networks! It's a very unexpected and yet quite obvious collaboration. If Lomepal and Alt-J play on very different registers (rap and "cerebral pop"), their atmospheres are no less close. The result is an incredible sweetness. 3WW ricocheted like a ray of sunshine or a raindrop on a window, your choice.

Radio Elvis – These Boys
The French trio Radio Elvis has unveiled an unreleased single, Ces Garçons-là , from their new album available on November 9. Through a clip directed by Morgan Simon, a very talented young filmmaker, who released his first feature film "Count Your Wounds" in 2017. If bullfighting is an omnipresent element in this clip, it is nevertheless only metaphorical to illustrate the themes of this piece, namely the passage to adulthood, rivalry, virility, male femininity.

Stereo Honey – Icarus
After charming us at the Bastille Sounds Festival a few weeks ago at the Label's Pop-Up, Stereo Honey reiterated with their unreleased single Icarus. A title where we let ourselves be carried away by the voice so atypical of the singer who rises so easily in the treble, all accompanied by a melody to which we can only adhere.

Hippo Campus – Golden
Hippo Campus released its second opus Bambi last Friday and from the first listen we were conquered. This album shows a totally different image of the American band as can be seen with their latest single Golden. Bambi is a risky and daring but successful bet!

Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper – Shallow
In view of the release, on October 3, of the film "A Star Is Born", Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper give voice for this magnificent Shallow. Already evocative of the theme of the film (already adapted twice in the history of cinema), Shallow overwhelms us by its power. Power on the one hand musical, as the arrangements are mastered. But also vocal by the beauty of the voices of Bradley Cooper (more surprising than expected as a singer) and Lady Gaga. The rest of the tracks on the album will be unveiled at the same time as the film itself, on October 3.

The Allergies – Dance Now
How to start the week well? With this funky and no-frills track that grooves to death: it's overflowing with joie de vivre and a little old school 90' s side (There's even a walkman… Yes the ancestor of mp3… With K7) that feels good. All served by a duo from Bristol and it moves!
Discover Dance Now by The Allergies
Joe Bel – No , No
A new soul voice for folk music that we highly recommend. Joe Bel is delicacy and grace that rests on sweet melody with lightness. It is a hymn to freedom! Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away… His debut album Dreams will be released on October 26. To be followed very, very closely.
Romain's choice
Ekali – Crystal Eyes
The Canadian Ekali releases his first EPÂ Crystal Eyes, 4 years after launching alone on SoundCloud on the trap scene. Its eponymous track is electrifying, its clip phosphorescent. Mimics of voices first deceive the senses and turn out to be electronic pulsations. Like broken glass, they spread after breaking into a cloud, very pleasant to listen to on headphones.
