At JustFocus, we love all styles of music. And so that your playlist is never too dated, our team of editors offers you at the beginning of the week the playlist of the editorial #94, a selection of 10 tracks freshly released. From Aloha Orchestra to Clairo via Fakear, here is a 360-degree tour of the latest news to add to your playlist!
Noucky's picks
Aloha Orchestra – Alright
If the name of Aloha Orchestra, little newcomers from Le Havre on the French scene, is not unknown to you, it is surely because we hear more and more about them. Julien Doré is full of praise for those who recently opened for him and who are about to release a first album on April 20 that he will celebrate in advance during a release party on April 18 at the Etoiles de Paris. In other words, you should not miss this concert. We wish them that it will be the first of a long series and maybe even to find them this summer in festival? Their electro-pop music lends itself completely to it in any case!

Anna Leone – If You Only
The young Swedish (half French) Anna Leone continues to unveil her titles in dribs and drabs. It is his third track after My Soul I and I Never Really. Each of the titles are snippets of sentences and invite the listener to immerse themselves in listening and find their way around. His first EP, Wandered Away, is finally announced for April 20. We strongly recommend that you follow it carefully! (See here)
Myles Kennedy – Love Can Only Heal
Released for the International Day of Struggle for Women's Rights, Myles Kennedy sings us a great message of love for men and women who would find it difficult to let go and let their feelings speak. The singer of Alter Bridge began a solo career with a first album released on March 9. His music is quieter than that of the group of which he is the leader since 2004 but we find his paw, his voice and his poetry, his emotional power.(See here)
Canek's choice
Hayley Kiyoko – Let It Be
Hayley Kiyoko is back with her third promotional single titled Let It Be. No, this is not a cover of The Beatles but a very airy song that impeccably closes his album Expectations which will be released on Friday, March 30 and which already promises to be excellent with the alternative Feelings and the pearl of pop Curious.

Romain's choices
Flight Facilities – Need You feat. NÏKA
The Australian duo Flight Facilities provides airy electronic music, blowing a wind of nostalgia for a decade over (the video rushes, even older, stage a show on the merry-go-round tour of singles and an unexpected character, Arnold Schwarzenegger). In their single Need You, in which singer NÏKA participates, the song begins on a bass and synth line, which overhangs the singer's voice. It's quite sweet, and it will surely pass the summer.

Fakear – Lost In Time ft. Noraa
To precede the release of his third album, and accompany the release of his new single on April 13, Lost in Time (with the French who have the coast: Polo & Pan that we no longer present, Clément Bazin, the former instrumentalist of Woodkid, and the singer Noraa) the Norman Fakear reveals a psychedelic landscape served by a new video. Instrumentally, we find the taste for refined melodies, with a voice that detonates compared to previous productions.(See here)
Guillaume's choices
Snakehips – Cruzin' feat. St. Rulez
Need a cure for vitamin D shortage ? This song is for you. Put on boots, down jackets and chapka; Close your eyes and the sun will appear… In your ears at least, but that's enough. Snakehips, never short of comforting sounds : the indispensable ally of this harsh end of winter!(See here)
Charlie Puth feat. Kehlani – Done for Me
The modern crooner is back with Done for Me, the third single from Voicenotes, his new album to be released soon. Recognizable by the thousands, Charlie Puth mixes pop, soft vocalizations with lyrics about love, again and again. Accompanied by Kehlani (whose first very R&B album SweetSeySauvage is still highly recommended), Charlie Puth is back in pole position in our "top male singer pop of the moment"!(See here)
Emma's choices
Calpurnia – City Boy
City Boy is the first original single from a young Canadian group that makes people talk. Accustomed to covers and videos without great ambitions, the group led in particular by Finn Wolfhard, released its first clip with the most professional looks. The song is rhythmic and the distant voice is accompanied by many choirs and instruments: it is a complete and well worked piece, as shown by the clip shot within a studio.Coming soon for Calpurnia, a debut EP and at least two Canadian festivals, Osheaga and Royal Mountain.

Clairo – Flaming Hot Cheetos
Clairo is the new phenomenon of dream pop that comes straight from… Boston! We would have bet on the Californian origins of the girl but it is not. She unveils this week her first official music video for the song Flaming Hot Cheetos after totaling 2.2 million views on the audio 9 months ago. No big budget or multiplication of shots, but a successful visual concept full of humor. We already knew Pretty Girl, we can't wait to know more. What is certain is that it will be on the bill of the Blurry Vision Fest on May 12 and 13 … (See here)
