Emily Loizeau

A name we hold high and very dearly on this blog, the wonderful Emily Loizeau. This is her new single:

Dora Surleau

Quick, quick, before summer is over:

Claude Fontaine

Claude Fontaine (real name: Nicole Rosenfield) is compared to the big guns: ‘At times, Fontaine channels Jane Birkin as backed by Jorge Ben. Françoise Hardy locked into sonic reverie with Mulatu Astatke, or Margo Guryan making lovers rock’, says her record label. She has a gorgeous voice, and her first album was quite a sunny sensation. Her 2nd album is coming up, La Mer, and she sings in French (yay!!)

Meimuna

Beautiful new single by Meimuna:

Coeur a l’index

How ’bout we kick off the new season with a solid indie-rock tune? By Bruxelles-Marseille-based band Coeur a l’index, whose first official single is highly charming (early Cure-references):

The band’s demo is on Bandcamp, HERE. By the way, ‘Coeur a l’index’ was an 1981 single for Muriel, in the Amoureux Solitaire-Lio way. See HERE.
