Noucky's picks
Paramore – Hard Times
The American trio Paramore presents Hard Times, the first single from their new album, scheduled for May 12. Far from their rock debut flirting with emo, we are witnessing a "popification" (yes, it is said) of the group; it smells of marshmallow and tangy candy that scratches the palate and it vaguely recalls the Ting Tings… Can't you think? Paramore will be in Paris on June 27 at the Grand Rex. Tickets will be available on April 28.
Imany – Lately
Imany offers us a superb walk in this month of April a little chilly. We are especially impressed by this clip shot in Dakar, Senegal in the remains of an old Palace of Justice by Malick Ndiaye. It features the singer at the piano in this urbex setting, but above all the performance of Lil' Buck, an exceptional dancer with incredible movement. Flexibility and a poignant expressiveness for this beautiful title. bravo!

Draumr – Hydrangeas
Colorful and pop psyche clip for Hydrangeas directed by Kathleen Ponsard and Ivan Herrera (members of the collective Cosmic Chronicles). Behind Draumr, which means dream in Norse (Nordic language), hides a Parisian whose dreamlike universe makes us want to float. " Hydrangeas " is his second single after " Strange Face-Illusion " released in September last year. We await the continuation with interest.

Charlie Puth – Warning
Revealed last year thanks to his duets with Meghan Trainor (Marvin Gaye), Selena Gomez (We don't talk anymore), as well as with his solo title One Call Away, the young American prodigy Charlie Puth unveils today the title Attention. With this new single, which announces the arrival of his second album, Puth seems to settle accounts with a young woman who would have broken his heart… Bella Thorne? The investigation is open!
MØ – Nights With You
Another artist who is preparing to release her second album, the Danish MØ. A true chameleon of the pop world, the young woman masters musical and aesthetic diversity, constantly surprising her fans, who are becoming more and more numerous. Like Lady Gaga, the young woman is experimenting with her music and I can't wait to listen to the rest of the tracks on this second album.
