The singles released earlier from Isolde Lasoen’s new album made me fear that my favorite singing drummer had given up on singing in French. Turns out she almost did, for most new tracks are in English. But hurrah, this lovely husky ‘n slow disco tune is also on the new lp, and that makes me very happy:
Two singles so far, by this young (20 years old, says google, no idea if this is true) French singer/producer. Both tracks are very intriguing. Electronics, beats, husky singing and (in case of Elle Sourit) a song about the hard part of being a mom. Mëa (no clue how to pronounce, haha) is an artist to watch. Cool clip, too:
Summer’s ending, grooves keep coming. This is a warm blooded dance track by Claudia Bouvette, love that atmosphere and those echo drenched effects. First time Claudia’s on this blog, she’s Canadian, she’s part of this great song, she made two albums and sings mostly in English. But luckily, also in French.
Very nice, poppy late-summer-vibes single by Hermance Chaillou, who has that lovely gravel on her vocal chords. Instagram (with live clips) HERE. She’s apparently a music coordinator at Spotify.
And with this VERY sensual track by Amouë I’m leaving you for the summer break. See you in september.
New and very fun Joe la Panic song. Not sure what ‘tudum’ means, the song is about the struggles of modern day dating with boys only wanna, well, tudum. There’s only one guess, tho. Love the simple yet higly effective video:
Also new, but this will take a few spins to really appreciate: Pomme’s new single. It sounds like early nineties grunge, the Veruca Salt/Belly/Liz Phair variety.
Strong pop song, with a driving beat. Very different from Louane’s Eurovision entry. Great feature for Elisa Palmire, a new voice (2 singles so far, very smokey):
Nice duet between new(-ish) singer Oscar Emch and force of nature Anna Majidson, who was featured on this blog many times. Oscar likes it soulful, he counts Frank Ocean, Dijon and Childish Gambino among his faves. Those heartwrenching influences you sure can hear on Emch’s album from 2025, and in ‘Illusion’. A song with a good groove and a cool hook. And when you got Anna on board, nothing can go wrong really.
