Sarah's Choices
The Gordons – Morning
The Rennes Les Gordon unveils the second single from his first album. Morning is a track mixing the soft electro that we know from the producer, and a certain anxiety. As if to remind us that awakenings are sometimes difficult, but that everything will be fine. Les Gordon's album will be released soon, and there is little chance of being disappointed!
Petit Biscuit – Waterfall (ft. Panama)
Unstoppable. Petit Biscuit, at 17 years old, has a frankly rare artistic maturity. And he is determined to keep the momentum going! For Waterfall, the young man from Rouen offers himself a collaboration with the British Panama, accustomed to electro with an inimitable paw. Always as effective, with a touch of melancholy perfect for autumn rains, Waterfall is to be found on the first album of Petit Biscuit. Release scheduled for November 10. Yes, on his 18th birthday.
Noucky's picks
Fabrizio Cammarata – Come And Leave a Rose
Come and Leave A Rose is the 1st single from Frabrizio Cammarata's upcoming album, Of Shadows which will be released on November 17th. This song is imbued with the singer's own poetry. Who better than him can tell his story? Here it is: "Visiting a cemetery, I noticed an unmarked grave that seemed to want to attract my attention, as if it sheltered a damned soul whose only possible deliverance is memory. "Name this soul and it will be set free." I laid a flower on this grave, as a testimony of my emotion, and then I continued on my way. A few months later, in the middle of a romantic breakup, I realized that our love was similar to this soul. It had to be given a name, for memory, for legitimacy. " I let you savor this title and let yourself be intoxicated by the clip that features Yauheniya who, through his gaze, both lost, sad and questioning, embodies this love … Also remember to leave a rose where emotion seizes you.
Fabrizio will be in concert in the first part of Justin Nozuka on October 8th at the Etoiles !
Laake – Introspective
LAAKE has gradually been noticed this year between visits to Berlin or the Printemps de Bourges. His first EP released in 2015 had neither more nor less than seduced the pianist Nils Frahm, who collaborates in particular with Olafur Arnalds. No wonder that, listening to this new composition, one thinks of Kiasmos. The images that Raphaël Beau and Gilles Mille offer us to accompany this single are a dreamlike and yet real journey through Iceland… A man covered in gold stands motionless in the middle of this immensity: it is a contemplative ode to the Earth, but also a question about the place of man on our planet… The PIAANO EP will be released on October 13th and you can see it on November 9th at FGO Barbara for the Release Party.
Justin Nozuka – All I Need
Canadian Justin Nozuka finally returns with High Tide, new EP, three tracks that promise us an album for 2018. To start discovering this EP, here is All I Need, a superb ballad that allows us to find Justin, with a more assertive voice and a beautiful artistic maturity, between melodic pop and melancholic folk. A catchy rhythm and an air that remains in mind. Enough to make us wait before the release of his album. Justin Nozuka will be in Paris for a Paris concert date on October 8 at Les Etoiles before continuing his European tour. Fabrizio Cammarata will accompany him in the first part. A concert not to be missed and that we highly recommend!
Marina Kaye – Something
We started to make you discover the next album of Marina Kaye who gradually reveals her new opus. After the punchy On My Own, here is the sweet and touching Something. A sublime piano voice song that demonstrates the maturity acquired by Marina since her first album (already excellent). A sensitivity to the skin and a simple beauty as much in the melody as in the lyrics. No outburst of voices, the right and poignant intensity to conclude forcefully. bravo! We look forward to the sequel!
Kingdom – If We
We discovered Kingdom at the Clap your Hands festival and it was a big crush. Suffice to say that it is with pleasure that we learn the return of the Parisian duo, Yumi and Moon Boy, with a new title. If We is a girl power anthem and a beautiful tribute to the great figures of feminism like Malala Yousafzai, Leslley Gore, Simone Veil, Yoko Ono, Susan B. Anthony or Frida Kahlo; denouncing a society that gives pride of place to stereotypes. Kingdom has signed this year with Pias and they will be present at the MaMA Event on October 18th : we look forward to them!
Emma's choice
Peach Pit – Tommy's Party
We had already told you about it, Peach Pit unveiled an extract of their first opus released on September 15. In the same spirit of what we had listened to before, Tommy's Party is a story of love and regret on a background of indie rock, almost a slow to which a high school student of the 90s could dance. Six minutes and three seconds of nostalgia led by a superb instrumental and a rather vulnerable voice: no doubt, Neil Smith will have managed to bring tears down our cheeks. And for the lucky ones, the group has even planned a date in Paris, on February 13th .

L7 – Dispatch from Mar-a-Lago
L7 is back, with a very energetic punk track , to blow up your fillers! After eighteen years of absence, the L7 have not become conventional, and we are delighted. Punch, saturated sound, and small kicks given to Donald Trump are at the rendezvous.For more details, click here.
Landmvrks – Fantasy
The post-hardcore band offers a beautiful track full of energy, about a one-sided love story. The video clip, very aesthetic, presents a wedding scene that turns (quite) bad.If the song begins calmly in clear voice, the riffs, drums and saturated screams are not long in coming! A pleasure to listen to, despite the choruses that lose a little to be sung in clear voice. Very nice live performances to predict.
