Fantasydub = Luke Top, former member of afropopband Fool’s Gold. So far, he made a bunch of sunny cool West-African tinged singles with various vocalists.
With American singer Rachel Fannan (who sounds really convincing en Français):
Most recent single, with Sofia Bolt (French born singer Amelie Rousseaux, who sang a tender cover of La Nuit Je Mens)
New fantastic single (ooh that fat bassline!) by French chill-psychrockers Pale Regard:
Well, new, not really. In 2021 they recorded the song for a charity compilation:
The song is a cover, it was written by Pascal Obispo, sung by Avy Marciano, for a French tv series
I don’t think the goal here was to better the song. Or to come close to the dark vibe of the original. I think the objective here was to see what could be done to this Radiohead-classic without turning it into a parody. Or maybe just a little, making those nods to Britney and Flashdance.

Fine holiday jam by Bon Enfant (Montreal, Quebec), featuring the 80s sounding vocals by Daphné Brissette.
Very clever, sexy pop. Louve’s been making records since 2021, with help from Kid Francescoli, Dani Terreur and others. One to watch:

Usually, around this time, we post songs that are good to play whilst driving on the Autoroute du Soleil, but if you’re in Europe, you can also use the German Autobahn to travel (to France, preferably). Le Couleur, winking to Kraftwerk, made a song about the asphalt over the Rhine:
In October, the new album by Montreal’s MUNYA drops. Two songs are out now, this yacht-rock track is very VERY good:
THIS!
