Rita Ora – Falling To Pieces
6 years after the release of her first studio album ORA, Rita Ora is back with her second studio album entitled Phoenix. Phoenix has the hits Anywhere written by DJ Alesso and Your Song written by Ed Sheeran , as well as the hit of the movie Fifty Shades Freed, For You, with Liam Payne. However, it is the ballad Falling To Pieces with its catchy and moving melodies that attracts attention from the first listen and highlights that despite a huge break, the pop singer is back more powerful than ever.

Tom Grennan – Run in the Rain (Acoustic)
Tom Grennan is one of the new sensations across the Channel that has conquered our hearts. His first album Lighting Matches is a concentrate of songs all as well as each other that we could listen to on repeat, and which also surprised us all live when he came to Paris in concert at the Café de la Danse. This British singer is talented and knew how to touch us. We didn't think he could impress us even more until recently, unveiling an acoustic version of Run in the Rain. It's sublime.

The HU – Wolf Totem
This is what happens when, by dint of listening to Viking music Youtube makes suggestions to me. Discovered a month ago, here is a Mongolian band The Hu, whose folklore marries with rock for our greatest happiness. Hu is the root of the word used to describe an intellectual human being in the Mongolian language.
Hu – root
word Hun – a person
Huu – child (boy or girl)
Humuun – human!
In addition to their incredibly exotic music, their clips are a call to freedom in a hostile and wild nature. Last point we love: the beauty of their instruments. In short, this group is a real escape.
THYLACINE – Purmamarca
In terms of travel, there is an artist who is a master in his ability to use his own as a source of inspiration for his projects. You were recently told of his return; Now the titles are starting to be broadcast on the web and to infuse themselves delightfully in our ears.
Soaring melody, breathtaking images, elaborate beats, impeccably assembled sounds, William plays again with our senses. Suffice to say that we can't wait to see him on stage again: his tour starts in Istanbul, goes to La Cigale on February 21 (sold out) and travels the France between January 31 and March 22. There is already an additional date announced for May 23 at the Olympia and there is no doubt that we will meet him next summer in festivals.

Erol Alkan – Spectrum [PH83]
Producer Erol Alkan has spent the last five years producing and collaborating with other artists but has returned to his own project. Spectrum is his latest release on his Phantasy label. His love of psychedelic rock infuses the track with a unique style, heard in the drum noises that open it. It spreads in a multiplication of layers reminiscent of the house of the 90s. A contagious piece.
