From Ben l'Oncle Soul to Cerrone via Little Mix, here is a 360-degree tour of the latest news to add to your playlist!
Piotr's choice
Lambchop – VIN
https://youtu.be/Cf9wz5esgAo
12th album for the intimate band from Nashville, which produces often quiet songs, with delicate arrangements. The disarming (and disarmed) voice of Kurt Wagner (cap always in mind) is this blow erased behind a car tune, and the electronica accompanies everything: the very discreet Lamchop, in digital as in organic, pleases just as much.
Noucky's picks
Dom La Nena – Scenic World
https://youtu.be/p2ooBKyXSQE
We recently saw Dom La Nena the day before the release of his latest EP at 104. Made of covers of her favorite songs, Cantando is a little jewel that she made us discover during a small intimate and joyful concert. Today the young Franco-Brazilian returns with a clip of her version of "Scenic World", a song from Beirut's first album. Dom La Nena will be in concert on November 18th at the Maison Populaire in Montreuil and we highly recommend it!
Ben L'Oncle Soul – The Good Life
https://youtu.be/AvEyFSvCYAE
How could we miss the release of Ben l'Oncle Soul's latest album? Released at the end of last week, our French Soulmen returns after 2 years of absence with his third opus entitled Under My Skin, a tribute to Frank Sinatra where soul, blues, reggae and jazz meet. After Fly Me To The Moon, here is a second clip The Good Life, a concentrate of good mood and positive images. Meet Ben l'Oncle Soul on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 November at the Jazz Club Etoile Méridien in Paris as part of the Blue Note XPeria Lounge Festival.

Versace on the Floor – Bruno Mars
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2UZlwTDGbY
With a new album scheduled for November 18, you can imagine that Bruno Mars was going to get a place of choice in our weekly playlist. Today, it's Versace on the Floor that I make you discover! Superb old school ride, right in the 90's trend (we think Poetic Lover, but much better). We had missed Bruno Mars, and it seemed that we were right to wait patiently for him.
Don't Stop Loving me – Madcon feat. KDL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKbSvb9iqxI
Madcon made us dance with Beggin in 2008. The duo returns with Don't Stop Lovin Me, which will make the beautiful hours of your evenings in clubs. Madcon moves away from the style of their beginnings, to offer a more electro sound and less 70's.
F.U – Little Mix
https://open.spotify.com/track/5Vf9m0G0nCuMppbEFHZm91
British girl band Little Mix is set to release a new album, Glory Days, and today shares a new track, F.U. After the single Shout Out To My Ex, the girls seem particularly upset against the male sex. Well, yes, what did you think F.U meant? puts in a trance that will last throughout the song, with beautiful guitar flights and a drums always as precise (what a snare drum sound!).
Arman's choices
Xavier Omar – Grown Woman
https://soundcloud.com/xvromar/grown-woman-prod-by-thelonius-martin-1
New name but identity already well defined. Leaving his SPZRKT where he was hiding, Xavier Adams returns in his best light, that of Omar. Gently extracted from the first album (Sans Sango) of its new facet, The Everlasting Wave, Grown Woman is a little gem directly torn from the neck of a James Fauntleroy (yes yes we weigh our words) at the top of his art. With Thelonious Martin producing (A$AP, Curren$y, Joey Bada$$… Only names with $ what), the song is a Machiavellian staging to stay anchored in any free or even cluttered spirit.
Jonwayne – 40Winks
https://soundcloud.com/jonwayne/40winks
Maybe he's too good to have the success he really deserves? This is the question we ask ourselves when listening to this new extract of a project still undefined, where Jonwayne exposes again an exceptional flow, on an exceptional beat with lyrics, finally you understood what. After having made a catalog of choices within the Stones Throw school and having recalled its potential through its latest EP Jonwayne is Retired, we hope that the four titles released in 2016 including the beautiful 40Winks announce only the best, for us as for him.
Daniel Caesar – Get You (feat. Kali Uchis)
https://soundcloud.com/danielcaesar/get-you-kali-uchis
Canada, Toronto, Drake, coughed coughed. Except that Daniel as his False surname indicates, came to eat a part of the empire. Followed very closely by us for some time now, his very good projects Praise Break and Pilgrim's Paradise were in fact only an appetizer, given the level reached on the Get You ballad. Accompanied by the superheroes of BADBADNOTGOOD and sensuality itself: Kali Uchis, this new track updates our expectations and will accompany them as well as possible until the beautiful day of the album.
Julie's Choice
Cerrone – Move Me
https://youtu.be/MVR3W3qJO3A
The Cerrone legend is back. After more than 40 years of musical career, and titles as emblematic as Give Me Love or Supernature, the king of Disco returns with a new album released at the end of October: Red Lips whose first single Move Me is a funky little nugget that will undoubtedly make you wear your heels on the dancefloors. Enough to travel back in time and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Studio 54.
