INÜIT – Tomboy
On beautiful images, a story à la Thelma and Louise, Inüit unveils a new single from their second album, Action, which will be released on October 12th. Produced by Benjamin Lebeau of The Shoes, the tracks we have been hearing since this summer are a powerful and gripping pop that we love! Inüit will be in concert on October 15th at La Maroquinerie for a Release Party.
Mai Lan – Pumper
While her album Autopilote has been a hit since January 19, the singer Mai Lan offers us a clip completely crossed out to accompany her title Pumper. Psychedelic production and animation proposed by 4 members of Tom Soon of the Gobelins school, here is an interactive trip where you can play with the scenery, and choose the atmosphere of the clip. Rather funky as an experience. Good viewing!
JUMAï – Loneliness
This group from Angers is not yet known to you, but we strongly recommend that you take an interest in it. Here is French Shoegaze : carried by the captivating voice of Océane, Jumaï's music is percussive, intoxicating and ultra soaring. It's rock to scratch your guts and electro what it takes to send a heavy beat in the head. Loneliness is just an appetizer and Justfocus offers you exclusively the aquatic clip that accompanies it : a dark aesthetic and excellent editing. Their EP, Silent Blue Day, was released on October 12. In the meantime, do not hesitate to take drugs to their completely addictive sound!
Fatoumata Diawara – Bonya
What a pleasure to start the week with the kind words of Fatoumata Diawara. Bonya means respect. And today, we seriously need to put this value back at the heart of our daily lives: for ourselves, for those around us, for others, for nature… So that the world turns round and much better! Once again these are colorful images that accompany a music anthem to its origins with well-felt rock accents. A real ray of sunshine with this vibrant and warm voice. Fenfo, his latest album is available since May 24th. Fatoumata Diawara will be in concert (sold out) at the Trianon on December 11 and we will have to wait until May 10, 2019 to see her again on the mythical stage of L'Olympia !

Vance Joy – I'm With You
To accompany us during this first rainy autumn weekend, Vance Joy delivered a new version of I'm With You ! Taken from his new album Nation of Two available since last spring, the Australian intoxicates us once again with his melodies that would give us to leave everything and go on a roadtrip… If we do not take the road tomorrow, in any case we decided to meet him in Paris on October 29 at the Elysée Montmartre !

Imagine Dragons – Zero
Imagine Dragons has just unveiled an unreleased track entitled Zero, from the soundtrack of Ralph Breaks The Internet. An energetic piece that will motivate us to go to the gym, get up in the morning or just go to class or work.

Mumford & sons – Guiding Light
We've been waiting for them for so long, here they are at last! After an exclusive concert at Sziget in August, Londoners Mumford & Sons are back with Guiding Light, the first single from a fourth album called Delta and scheduled for November 16. If it marks the return of the banjo (great forgotten Wilder Mind), it does not prevent very pop sounds. The dates of the tour will be announced in early October.

Max Cooper – Lovesong
From the album One Hundred Billion Sparks, the track Livelong mixes a musical palette that Max Cooper loves: techno, ambient and experimental music. Atmospheric and discreet, it forces attention to its smallest details and contours. What could be better, finally, for Lovesong than to display in his clip the faces of loved ones?

Jon Hopkins – Singularity
As the cover of the album Singularity suggests, the eponymous track knots with the stars. The title alone appears the content of the record by its dark and heady synthetic pulsations. As the song becomes clearer, higher, while a couple on screen who unite and tear each other apart in the dance are carried by a frenzy that surpasses them.

BROCKHAMPTON – I OPEN
JustFocus' favorite boysband is back with a new album, a new music video and a future trilogy. J'OUVERT is the first single of iridescence, new opus therefore, of 15 tracks recorded in 15 days in the studios of Abbey Road in London. The difficult year, both personally and artistically, that the group has just undergone seems worth it: iridescence is sublime in vulnerability and creativity. Brockhampton has unveiled the music video for J'OUVERT shot entirely with a thermal camera, in keeping with the album's visuals.
The members of the group would have been particularly inspired by their few European dates this summer, maybe there will be other French dates in the future, what is certain is that the other two opuses of The Best Years Of Our Lives reserve us a lot of surprises.
