Dan Deacon – The Breakaway
Dan Deacon is aminimalist composer and producer, who recently produced a documentary called Time Trial, covering the final professional year of Scottish cyclist, former Tour de France stage winner David Millar, interrupted by a steroid doping case. Taken from its soundtrack, the track The Breakaway walks the roads taken by the peloton, first realistically, before sinking into illusion on a background of techno bass line, taking a medicated turn on a lively and chiming tune.

FKJ – Is Magic Gone
French producer, singer, multi-instrumentalist Vincent Fenton (FKJ) shared his brand new song Is Magic Gone, the first with his new record label. The track mixes piano and modern electronic jazz music with suave bass lines, guitar riff, and effortless transitions between genres, lyrics and emotional vocals. A beautiful example of versatility that takes us into a musical labyrinth. The magic didn't go away.

Alessia Cara – Not Today
A few days before the release of her latest album The Pains Of Growing, Alessia Cara gives us a moving title. Which is all the more paradoxical when you listen to music. Soulful, rhythmic and joyful music. But when you look at the lyrics, everything becomes different. It is at this point that we can recognize the talent of the young American singer. The words disclosed are dark, sad and reveal a blatant malaise. His latest album was released on November 30.

RY X – YaYaYa
The talented Australian Ry Cuming, better known as Ry X, continues to present us in bits and pieces his next album. In full affirmation of his style, YaYaYa, joins Bound and Untold, the other two titles released a month ago. Unfurl his second album will be released on February 15th and we are already looking forward to hearing more! It will be on February 26 at the Cabaret Sauvage… For the more anticipatory and lucky, we recommend that you book his concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London scheduled for October 14, 2019 !
Hugo Barriol – Always
The tender Hugo Barriol never ceases to make us dream and his latest title is incredibly sweet. A beautiful melancholic and amorous ballad. An ideal piece to cuddle under a plaid the approaching winter … In any case, this second single keeps its promises and we can't wait to discover his first album, Yellow, scheduled for February 22, 2019. He will present it on the stage of the Maroquinerie de Paris on January 24.

39 Women – Stand Up Women
Following the #noustous march here is a committed song that calls on women to come together, to unite around the same idea: that of a fight against oppression, violence and sexism in all its forms. In this magnificent choir, we recognize many heads, some of whom we had the chance to see in concert or to meet: Clara Luciani, Barbara Pravi, Camille de Black Lilys, Les Brigittes, Mai Lan, Buridane, Holly Siz … And so many others: Agnès Jaoui, Madjo, Inna Modja, Pomme, Olivia Ruiz, Elisa Tovati, Julie Zenatti… A great photo of what the France has beautiful personalities and voices right now. This title was registered to support the actions of the Women's House. Donate!

MØ – Blur (feat Foster the People)
If there is a collaboration that we did not expect it was that of the singer MØ and the American group Foster the People. And after the first listen we were pleasantly surprised by the result! A track to add imperatively to your playlist and that will only motivate you.
Arctic Monkeys – Anyways
We can't stop Arctic Monkeys! They made their long-awaited comeback this year with the release of their new album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino which was quickly accompanied by his European tour. So when the British band released an unreleased single, anyways, we were very surprised! This title follows the line of their last opus: a vintage atmosphere and the voice of Alex Turner that we will never get tired of.

Mark Ronson – Nothing Breaks Like A Heart ft. Miley Cirus
Miley Cyrus is back and this time with Mark Ronson, for a single entitled Nothing Breaks Like a Heart. Indeed, Mark Ronson is a huge musician and producer, who hides behind Lady Gaga's album Joanne and Bruno Mars' hit Uptown Funk . Nothing Breaks Like a Heart is really a disco/country mix about heartache: "things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart", she sings in the chorus. Nothing Breaks Like a Heart not only represents the comeback of Miley Cyrus but also it is the first track of Mark Ronson's next studio album: we can't wait!

benny blanco, Jesse & Swae Lee – Better To Lie
After several collaborations with Jesse Rutherford and The Neighbourhood, on their old and brand new projects, benny blanco continues to associate intelligently with the Californian scene. With better to lie he introduces a joint project with Swae Lee, rapper we already knew alongside Travis Scott, Jhené Aiko or Post Malone. Benny Blanco, Jesse Rutherford and Swae Lee come together perfectly on 2 minutes and 56 seconds of nonchalance granted. After Halsey, Khalid, Calvin Harris or Brendon Urie, the artist continues to slalom among prestigious featurings … We would love to hear the rest of his solo projects!
