Noucky's picks

Random Recipe – Distractions

We find with great pleasure Frannie of the Quebec band Dear Criminals on another project: Random Recipe celebrates its 10th anniversary with a third album and I can tell you that we are completely off the beaten track. This music will seek multiple influences and mixes genres brilliantly; It's mixed hip hop that swings to death. But it is also a strong and committed text that challenges the place of women in the world and particularly that of music. It's impactful and relevant! We love it! They will be in concert on May 2nd at the Supersonic in Paris. (See here)

Rob Drabkin – It's A Beautiful Day

In the same vein as Imagine Dragon or Magic Giant, here is an artist to follow on loan. Rob Drabkin has already made more than 2 million views with his previous title, Someday, and this one is about to become the hit of the moment. A fresh and lively air that gives balm to the heart at the beginning of spring. Go, we warm up at the first ray of sunshine! (See here)

Snow Patrol – Don't Give In

We had been waiting for their return for 7 years! Snow Patrol has finally released a new track: Don't Give In, from their next album Wildness, to be released on May 25th. In an interview, frontman Gary Lightbody explained that the new album "came from a heavy personal quest, due to the depression I've suffered from since I was a child". Announced in the biggest European festivals this summer, the band unfortunately has no concerts planned in France. (See here)

Canek's choice

Shawn Mendes – In My Blood

Shawn Mendes is back with In My Blood, the official single from his upcoming studio album. In My Blood makes us truly discover the sensitivity and emotion of the singer, especially in the poignant chorus that will definitely make us shed several tears. According to Shawn Mendes, In My Blood is the song closest to his heart. All you have to do is listen and let yourself be carried away by his brilliant new single. (See here)

Romain's choices

Maud Geffray – Ice Teens

From the album Polar that Maud Geffrey made on her return from Lapland, mixing techno music and allusions to raves, emerges the song Ice Teens and its severe and martial clip. Fueled by a ghostly voice punctuating the song's progression, the video depicts the military indoctrination of a community of schoolgirls in a boarding school. The stripes and obedience to the rules no longer leave room for individualities, ultimately dejected: an allegory, in some aspects, of what the time can produce most dehumanizing. (See here)

Clément Froissart – Peuplaraie

With his song and clip Peupleraie, Clément Froissart offers a splendid musical and visual moment. The song is melodious, the voice repetitive and tireless, the whole rocks. It is the on-screen narrative of the past, and more particularly of childhood, that shines through. Mischievous, naïve period, but also made of tormented and brutal discoveries . The clip shows the many facets, tender and difficult, of a relationship between a father and his daughter. Who takes his wings. (See here)

Mathilde's choice

The Go! Team – The Only Thing New Is U Finding Out About It 

This is a brand new and very playful single now offered by the English music group The Go! Team. The six members of the group called on the Detroit Youth choir, which pushes the song on the last minute of the title. A collaboration that brings a real freshness to this song punctuated by percussion notes. It is also taken from their fifth and new album SemiCircle. A radiant title, ultra solar and above all very catchy. The Only Thing New is U Finding Out About It breathes summer and no doubt it will make you want to shake! (See here)

Ilanah's choice

Diplo – Wish

After a long wait, Diplo finally releases his new EP California. An opus rich in collaborations that proves to be a real success. We can thus find three titles already discovered by the public, but also three unreleased titles among which we discover the superb song Wish featuring the very young American rapper Trippie Redd (especially known for his songs such as Love Scars or Dark Knight Dummo). Mix electro pop sounds with a touch of US rap and carrying lyrics, you get Wish. An intoxicating music to listen to as soon as possible! (See here)

Emma's choices

Wallows – These Days

We told you about it a few weeks ago, they are already back with a new single. Wallows hasn't changed, they're still the alternative band we' ve known recently, and These Days are coming out just in time to become our spring anthem. A bright sound and a rather pop instrumental to which is given a lot of importance… The production of the Californian group is more sought after than expected, so it is with a "mea culpa" on the language that we stumble while waiting for April 6: release of their first EP Spring. (See here)

Phum Viphurit – Lover Boy

A week ago was released the video for Lover Boy, a new single from Phum Viphurit, a new soul voice of Thai origin. Born in Thailand, raised in New Zealand and since back in his native country and signed by Rat Records : Phum Viphurit is an established artist. Lover Boy is a quiet track led by a rather groovy voice, all against the backdrop of a pastel color clip and probably shot on the beaches of Bangkok … It makes you want to! (See here)
