Electric Blue Cats présente son nouveau clip « Change Your Partner »
Electric Blue Cats
1er album Electric Blue Cats
Disponible en digital
Entre rock, jazz cosmique, et funk, Electric Blue Cats a sorti son premier album largement salué par la critique. Le trio composé du batteur Salah Khaïli, du guitariste Christophe « Tito »Taddei et du bassiste Emmanuel, impose sa virtuosité et s’entend comme personne pour faire décoller l’auditeur et à ne jamais le lâcher.Après nous avoir dévoilé Dark Floor, Fresh Spring et Groove On The Eggs, Electric Blue Cats sort Change Your Partner, un titre funky et dansant à voir en clip vidéo.
Le nouveau single Change You Partner évoque les ruptures sur un ton positif, comme une libération d’une charge ou d’une relation toxique, pour mieux repartir de l’avant.
Joyeux et trépidant, le titre Change your Partner séduit avec sa pulsation jazzy et son flow hip hop très moderne.
Enregistré en mars 2021 au studio de la Seine par le réalisateur Fred Lafage, l’album des Electric Blue Cats est un véritable ovni à l’énergie addictive.
La musique des Electric Blue Cats est un alliage précieux composé de plusieurs styles incluant le rock, la funk ainsi qu’un soupçon de musique africaine. A l’écoute de ce trio hors norme, on pense immédiatement à des groupes mythiques comme Cymande, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, ou bien Tame Impala.Dès les premières notes, on est hypnotisé par les rythmiques magiques du batteur extraordinaire Salah Khaïli, les vagues de riffs et de soli de guitare de l’incroyable Christophe ‘Tito’ Taddei, et la basse puissante d’Emmanuel qui cimente et démultiplie l’énergie du trio.
Tout au long de l’album, les effets électroniques élaborés avec les instruments – guitare, basse, batterie- créent une rythmique funk très syncopée. La ligne de basse d’Emmanuel sert de clef de voûte de chacun des 8 morceaux. Elle est agrémentée par le jeu pur et tranchant du batteur Salah Khaïli et rehaussée par mélodies aériennes du guitariste Christophe « Tito » Taddei. L’instrumental reste de part en part aux avant-postes sur cet album. Sans détour, les compositions des Electric Blue Cats font la part belle à la culture rock, dansante et jouissive. Un engagement assumé dans la musique populaire. Cool vibes only ! A ne pas rater en live !

BJÖRK présente ‘OVULE’ ft. Shygirl (Sega Bodega remix)
BJÖRK
SINGLE ‘OVULE’ feat. Shygirl
(Sega Bodega Remix)
DISPONIBLE
– ONE LITTLE INDEPENDANT –
Sur son récent et ardent single ‘Ovule’, extrait de l’album ‘Fossora’, Björk explore la fragilité et le caractère unique de l’amour sous toutes ses formes complexes.
Le 20 janvier est sorti un remix de ce titre par l’artiste et producteur irlandais Sega Bodega, connu pour ses sons electro glitchy d’inspiration industrielle et ses ambiances cinématographiques.
Sa version fait ressortir la tension du morceau et ses éléments percussifs majestueux, reflétant sa beauté délicate et scintillante.
Le remix atteint de nouveaux sommets avec les vocalises de l’étoile montante du r&b Shygirl, invitée ici en featuring.
ECOUTER
Ce fut extrêmement nourrissant de partager de la musique avec Shy et Sega …. C’est un véritable honneur d’être entre leurs mains !!
Sur ce remix, j’admire Sega qui explore la chill-bassdrum-gabba et je frissonne de voir Shy s’immerger dans mes paroles pour les amener ailleurs…(j’espère bientôt rendre la pareille)… grrrrratitude !’ (Björk)
‘Ce remix forme une sorte de cercle parfait, du moins selon moi. Nous avons passé tous les trois une soirée entière à écouter la musique qu’on aime chez Shy l’année dernière, et une fois tout ça digiéré, le remix s’est fait assez rapidement – nous aimons que les choses se fassent vite’. (Sega Bodega).
Björk
est une artiste multidisciplinaire qui, à maintes reprises, innove à travers la musique, l’art, la mode et la technologie. De l’écriture, de l’arrangement et de la production d’un vaste catalogue musical à ses collaborations avec des scientifiques, des développeurs d’applications, des écrivains, des inventeurs, des musiciens et des fabricants d’instruments, Björk continue d’inspirer et d’expérimenter, redéfinissant les limites de ce que signifie être musicien.
Shygirl
, artiste multidisciplinaire et captivante sirène de la scène R&B anglaise, émerge des eaux avec son premier album
Nymph
. Affirmant à la fois son pouvoir et sa liberté mais aussi sa soif d’amour, elle nous livre des vers harmonieux et des hooks accrocheurs. Sur ses chansons, les mélodies s’entremêlent aux lignes de basse UK garage, dancehall ou hip hop, tandis que Shygirl décline une vaste gamme d’émotions, traitant de l’amour de soi, de l’introspection et de ses propres prouesses.
Producteur, artiste et patron de label,
Sega Bodega
a établi un style de production ovni, qui l’a imposé comme un pionnier des ambiances électroniques alternatives.
Parallèlement à la sortie d’albums solo (
Salvador
,
Romeo
), il a également joué un rôle créatif crucial dans d’innombrables projets au cours de la dernière décennie, notamment le développement des artistes de son label NUXXE.
Une production acclamée par des artistes tels que Caroline Polachek (dernier single « Sunset »), Oklou, Shygirl et Zebra Katz . Son travail solo est tout aussi visionnaire, comme par exemple le dernier single en en date « Kepko ». Bodega a été présenté dans Dazed 100, une liste des artistes les plus influents aujourd’hui.

Party Nails shares her new single « Like U »
Party Nails
New single « Like U »
Spotify
Entitled « Like U », the dance drenched alt pop single is all « about how the best love and support is from people who want you to shine as bright as possible », confides Party Nails. “You can be iconic and true to yourself and also full of love for others,” she further explains.
The song thrills with soaring nu-disco melodies under bright synths and driving bass, making it eligible for a Surgeon General’s warning to cause severe dancing. Party Nails has received acclaim from the likes of
Billboard
and
LADYGUNN
to name a few.
Before she was Party Nails, Elana Carroll was a guitar-toting tween songwriter, playing any open mic she could near her hometown of Chatham, New York. Performing solo or with a band of seasoned adult players backing her up, she wailed lyrics about her family’s divorce, dreams of leaving her small town, and a then-undiagnosed anxiety disorder across biker bars and community centers, often met with tears from patrons moved by her fearless expression of raw emotion. At home she recorded herself with Garageband, instigating a love of music technology which continues to this day (she moonlights as a software tester and composer for boutique synthesizer company Noise Engineering).
Party Nails debuted in 2015 on Neon Gold’s famed blog with “Break”, a heartbreak dancepop single following the footsteps of happysad classics such as “Dancing On My Own” and “Blue Monday”. In 2016 on the Noisey blog Party Nails debuted “No Pressure”—think Haim instrumentation paired with Taylor Swift melodies—before leaving a 360 deal and rebuilding independently. Her first full-length
Past Lives and Paychecks
was equal parts collaborations—Caleb Shreve, Ryan Nasci, Mereki Beach, to name a few—and self-produced, engineering and playing guitar, bass, synthesizers and programming electronics alone in her home studio. Her first US tour in 2017 (with PVRIS and Lights) ushered in a devoted fanbase, and her live performances continue to be a core facet of her artistry, being equal parts Madonna, Hayley Williams, and Sheryl Crow.
During the COVID pandemic she wrote a song for Kathryn Hahn’s character to sing about period pride for Loren Bouchard’s Apple animated series
Central Park,
wrote and produced the Le Tigre-infused “Supernatural” for feminist rock duo Deap Vally, and continued to lend her vocals to other musicians, LŪN and Urban Heat both releasing music featuring Party Nails in 2022. If history is any indication, Party Nails won’t stop expressing herself through music, and her best work as an artist is ahead of her.
Already 2023 is off to a banging start with “Like U”, a house-inspired dance collaboration with Austin-based queer pop icon, Boy Sim (who also co-wrote and produced the track). “You can be iconic and true to yourself and also full of love for others,” Party Nails says about the song. “‘Like U’ is about how the best love and support is from people who want you to shine as bright as possible. I like to think of it as our homage to ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’—that line where Cyndi Lauper sings ‘I wanna be the one to walk in the sun.’ That. It’s meant to be danced to alone or with friends. We even thought about releasing it with a surgeon generals warning: this music may cause severe dancing.”

After receiving third place on the show through months of stadium shows, Emei began releasing her own music on Chinese platforms and eventually performing on Dancing with the Stars of China. When Covid hit, Emei started releasing new music on American platforms, gaining media coverage on
Wonderland, Earmilk, Ones to Watch, Early Rising
, and
Lyrical Lemonade
. Emei’s single, “Late to the Party”, hit 6M streams after videos of her performing the song live hit a collective 10M views on Tiktok and Instagram Reels. Emei has been featured on the cover of Salt and Fresh Finds Pop. Her music has been playlisted on New Music Friday, Big on the Internet, Tean Beats, Pop Sauce, Young & Free and more. Emei just released her debut EP, End of an Era, in October, racking over 10 million streams in a short time, making her a new artist to watch.

WESSON
New single « Made Me Happy »
Spotify
WESSON is a British alt/rock band led by singer/songwriter Chris Wesson. Based in Milton Keynes, the four-piece band was formed under the mutual decision to find like-minded souls who needed music as part of their everyday life and essence to their being. Along with bassist Callum, guitarist Jimmy, and drummer Dale, WESSON creates music which is relatable, conversational and meaningful.
With each band member coming from a different musical background, WESSON soaks up an amalgam of influences, resulting in a collective mix of pop, punk rock and indie with soaring vocal parts and an overall sound which is entirely its own.
Emitting a gritty rock undertone, bold melodic bass riffs and driving drum beats, WESSON delivers a soundtrack to everyday life events, touching on reflections and memories that pass them by. Their organic approach to songwriting allows their music to be honest and identifiable. Spreading messages of living unapologetically, the band shares, “We hope to inspire others to be honest with their life and not be frightened to be themselves.”
Following the release of their 2022 hit “Voices”, the band returns with “Made Me Happy” a track stemming from personal life experiences. With a raw and honest touch, you can feel the intimacy of the lyrics and emotions behind them. Chris shares, “I believe that everyone has a unique perspective to every situation and we try to tap into that, to create a distinctive experience for every listener.” Showcasing their unique character, “Made Me Happy” is an infectious indie/rock anthem, bursting with energetic instrumentation, soaring harmonies and a catchy as hell chorus. Taking the listener on a musical journey, “Made Me Happy” keeps you engaged from start to finish.
Having gigged across the UK, supporting artists such as The Bluetones, Callum Beattie and Lucy Spraggan, WESSON are set for an exciting 2023, with more releases and gigs to be announced soon.

Guillaume Léglise présente son clip « Les Dunes » avec Cléa Vincent
Guillaume Léglise
Nouvel album Auto Fictions
Sortie le 14/03/2023 chez La Tebwa
Guillaume Léglise sort son premier album Auto Fictions le 14 mars 2023 sur le label La Tebwa, avec en premier extrait Les Dunes avec Cléa Vincent.
Avec lui, la chanson française est baignée d’influences pop 80’s et new wave. La sortie de l’album Auto Fictions marque pour ce producteur, compositeur et multi-instrumentiste l’aboutissement d’un travail d’écriture et production long de 4 ans (depuis l’EP Riviera). Depuis de nombreuses années, Guillaume Léglise s’est fait un nom dans le paysage de la pop française, à la réalisation, production ou mixage de plusieurs projets d’artistes. Ce musicien de l’ombre se dévoile enfin à travers un premier album lettré et ambitieux, aux contours atypiques.
Pour mettre en image Auto Fictions, Guillaume Léglise a imaginé une vidéo nous emmenant dans une course poursuite amoureuse de six épisodes au cœur de Madrid. L’album se dévoile dans un road movie sensuel et haletant type « catch me if you can » réalisé par Jérôme Walter Gueguen. Voici une translation cinématographique qui nous laisse libre de toutes interprétations pour mieux apprécier encore cet album de fictions. A découvrir avec en premier extrait Les Dunes en duo avec Cléa Vincent.
»
Une certaine idée de la variété à la française, convoquant ainsi un phrasé dandy, posé sur une composition synthétique, le tout porté par une basse obsédante
» Les Inrockuptibles
Producteur, réalisateur, mixeur, remixeur notamment pour des artistes des labels Pan European Recording, Her Majesty’s Ship, Kwaidan, Icy Cold Records, La Tebwa, musicien muti-instrumentiste (au sein du groupe Vox Low), compositeur pour le théâtre (Philippe Calvario, Nicolas Kerszenbaum, Pauline Ribat) ou la danse contemporaine (Marjory Duprès, Aude Lachaise), Guillaume Léglise se réinvente au gré de ses multiples collaborations en entité pop singulière, au carrefour de toutes ses expériences, comme un prolongement, ou une synthèse, de ses multiples visages.
Son premier véritable album Auto Fictions paraît le 14 mars 2023 chez le label La Tebwa. Sur scène il est accompagné depuis deux ans à la basse et aux chœurs par Clémence Lasme qu’on a pu notamment voir sur scène accompagnant Pomme, Moodoïd… Seul maître à bord de son studio de Belleville, il compose une galerie de portraits, qu’il dévoile peu à peu en EPs aussi sensuels que conceptuels, mariant la musique de club aux mélodies limpides des dandys pop français (Serge Gainsbourg, Alain Chamfort, Philippe Chany), le français lettré à l’ivresse du noctambule, la poésie décadente à la langueur d’une after.
Ses chansons déploient ainsi une riche galerie de personnages, décors, situations, chaque chanson apparaissant comme le nouveau chapitre d’un recueil d’histoires, derrière lesquelles opère le producteur. Sur EP1, il mariait les corps désirants à la matière inanimée. Entre le Crash de Ballard et la magie noire des trottoirs parisiens, ses cinq premières aventures dessinaient, à travers cinq portraits de femmes, celui d’un narrateur quêtant l’amour, aussi baladeur que baladé, dans une ambiance gris-métal.
Après un EP qui convoquait d’éphémères rencontres amoureuses dans la torpeur urbaine des années 1980 (celles de la new-wave, du Palace et des films noirs de Pialat), Guillaume Léglise est revenu avec Riviera, un EP estival, distillant une moite langueur synthétique, comme une idylle entre la tentation Ibiza de New Order (la basse Peter Hook de Riviera) et l’English Riviera de Metronomy (lustre de la production, dissonances de l’étrangeté), à mi-chemin entre froideur des machines et profondeur des émotions. Voici enfin que s’annoncent ses Auto Fictions, un premier album accompagné d’un road movie de six vidéos à découvrir sur Youtube et en invités, Cléa Vincent et Lisa Li Lund.

Cashmere electronica trio KARMACODA releases Lessons In Time album shares ‘Dare’ single
Cashmere Electronica Trio
KARMACODA
RELEASES Lessons In Time Album
SHARES
‘Dare’
Single
LABEL: Sola Musa Music
Stream / Download
Elegant USA-based band KARMACODA shared their song
‘Dare’
, which is taken from their latest album,
Lessons In Time,
via Sola Musa Music. The band has seen support from many well-known music digital magazines such as CLASH Magazine, Wonderland Magazine, NOTION Mag, Magnetic Mag, Hotpress, Metal Magazine, Medium, Backseat Mafia, CelebMix, Son Of Marketing, VENTS Magazine, HMWL, EDM Identity, Faze Magazine, and Decoded Mag. On radio, their music has received airplay on NPR Music and Irish National radio RTÉ 2XM’s Dan Hegarty.
Having been placed in several film and TV scores, the three-piece band has won several awards including the Hermes Creative Awards (Platinum) for the
‘
Lo-Fi Girl
’
video and
‘
Make Me The One
’
video which also earned one Unglued Music Video (Gold) and three Davey Awards for Video Entertainment, Best Use of Music and Art Direction (all Silver). Based in San Francisco, USA, KARMACODA is comprised of Jessica Ford (vocals), Brett Crockett (aka B. on vocals and producer) and Japanese-American multi-instrumentalist Eric Matsuno (bass and other unique elements). The trio’s sound has been compared to a unique mix of Paloma Faith, Adele, and Pixie Lott.
In the spirit of love, KARMACODA’s impassioned songstress Jessica Ford seduces with
‘Dare’
. Making her desire known, she risks it all and takes the leap. Jazz-inspired instruments entice, while each word teases, calling a lover to action. Jessica brings the track together with her angelic voice, making its final destination a sweet embrace.
Discussing the LP, B. says:
“We began writing Lesson in Time immediately after the completion of the album before it (Slow Down, Melt and Catch Fire) which dealt with the uncertainty of the early parts of the pandemic. Lessons in Time is about both looking forward to what the future will be and simultaneously looking back at what we once had, what we loved, and what we lost. Themes of time and flying and the need for emotional personal connections emerged, unconsciously, but they were obvious once the album was done.”

Stefano May shares his new single « Hope It Will Remind You »
Stefano May
New single « Hope It Will Remind You »
Spotify
Stefano May has partnered with the Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation (ARPF) on his touching new single “Hope It Will Remind You”, a heart-wrenching and bittersweet dedication to those affected by the disease. The artist has witnessed early stages of dementia develop into more serious stages of Alzheimer’s amongst friends and loved ones alike and draws passion for this cause from his own personal memories. With the dedicated research of ARPF and the immense power that music plays in the healing process, May hopes his new single will shed light on the Alzheimer’s community and provide comfort to those suffering.
A classically trained pianist and superior vocalist, Stefano relies on his mediums of expression to create a moving blend of dynamic piano arrangements and deep, stirring vocals. The music video for “Hope It Will Remind You” incorporates VHS tapes of Stefano’s childhood, where he is seen bonding with his father through music and tender, loving exchanges of affection. The narrative further reflects on the profound effect that memories have and the severe impact of this heartbreaking disease. With groundbreaking and emotive outcries at the chorus, Stefano addresses his father in the home video footage as he sings, “Know my name again // Hear me play again.” Stefano hopes that by sharing his story and commitment to Alzheimer’s prevention, he will help spread awareness on healing, preventing, and keeping memories alive.
« My lyricist John Smallwood and I hope it helps people who suffer, as well as their loved ones. This song reminds me to live each day with gratitude, love, and compassion. Prevention of Alzheimer’s is beyond important. It’s an honor to partner with The Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation as they continue to champion new findings and advocate for disease prevention, and I look forward to working alongside the organization to write music that can help people in whatever capacity I can. » –
Stefano May
« We applaud Stefano’s commitment to Alzheimer’s prevention and are grateful to partner with him to increase awareness of this disease. In this song, Stefano’s musical mastery conveys both heart wrenching sadness and hope for the future – a significant message for young and mature audiences. Hope It Will Remind You opens the door to healing that every family needs to have. »
Dharma Singh Khalsa, MD
Stefano is a singer, songwriter and piano virtuoso who fuses soul, pop and classical for an enthralling musical journey. The talented songwriter’s music is marked by hope, love and connection in the aim to heal.
Born in Italy, Stefano took to music at an early age and began classical piano training at age seven. He quickly gained notoriety by performing on popular Italian TV shows, and since then has collaborated with famed songwriters, as well as the famed director Franco Zeffirelli. Honing his craft further, the musician and singer has ultimately composed and scored motion picture soundtracks under the guidance of award-winning filmmaker Jamal Joseph.
2019 marked the beginning of his solo project, when Stefano began collaborating with famed producer Chico Bennett (Madonna, Lady Gaga, The Killers, Prince). His debut single “Prayer” highlights the songwriter’s warm and confessional vocals brimming with such passion, and yet such delicate vibrato tones. Stefano’s otherworldly vocal delivery glides with memorable melodies over intimate piano. The moving lyrics detail the act of loving again after hardship and disconnection. With comparisons to Sam Smith, Andrea Bocelli, and Michael Bublé, “Prayer” marked a graceful and exciting debut for this generational artist on the rise.
In Stefano’s single “We Are The Power,” the songwriter invites us all to take part in healing the world together. The glorious composition features soulful vocals, a soaring melody, and a vivacious chorus complete with a gospel choir for a most heartfelt demonstration of love, optimism, and vitality. « Find My Way » was born as a musical tribute to the Motown world that has been highly influential to Stefano’s musical taste and sound since he was a young child. Thematically, the song was inspired by his mother, who raised Stefano to pursue big dreams and share his gifts with strength, patience, and heartfelt dedication. « False Horizon » is a festival inspired song featuring stylistic tangents of iconic California desert vintage, while « Don’t Say Goodbye » is a song that puts a spotlight on second chances in life and relationships.
In his late 2022, Stefano May channels intimate experiences of pain, plunging into life’s hardest moments. Working alongside producer Chico Bennett, a hauntingly beautiful ballad called “Crazy” was born – a deeply reflective, desolate take on the dark corners of enduring devotion. Stefano’s achingly raw demonstration of stirring vulnerability reaches deep into our psyche for a lingering expression of cathartic lament.
Stefano aims to bring people together through the power of music. By sharing his gifts, he empowers others to do the same. “Music is made to heal your soul. People find commonality in the music they listen to and every song has the right time and place for each of its listeners.”

Cancre présente son premier album « Tout S’Efface »
CANCRE
PREMIER ALBUM »
TOUT S’EFFACE
»
LE 20 JANVIER 2023
Comment trouver sa place, aujourd’hui, dans le florilège d’artistes qui revendiquent les mêmes influences musicales francophones ? C’est un défi que
les frères Millasseau
,
Robin
et
Mathias
, n’avaient pas envisagé… jusqu’à la découverte d’un recueil de poèmes rédigé par leur arrière-grand-oncle Marcel dans les tranchées de la Première Guerre mondiale. Un trésor inattendu qui déclenchera la naissance de Cancre.
Dans la lignée d’un
Bashung moderne
, le trio morlaisien articule avec audace la subtilité de la
chanson française avec la puissance de la culture rock
. Une voix rauque à la
Arno
vient se briser sur des compositions fluctuant entre
Beck
,
Nick Cave
ou
Radiohead
. Aux adaptations des textes avant-gardistes centenaires mais ô combien actuels – s’ajoute la plume unique de
David Sander
, venu collaborer sur certains titres du groupe.
Après deux EPs, un nouveau répertoire se dessine ainsi pour le groupe, prose imagée et engagée, ouverte à l’interprétation et la sensibilité de chacun, qui traverse les âges.
Cancre
, c’est avant tout le témoignage de l’histoire qui se transmet de génération en génération au sein d’une même famille. Et cette dimension familiale, voire familière, marque l’identité du groupe. Un projet intime auquel s’agrègent d’autres artistes, proches de la fratrie, afin d’apporter leur pierre à l’édifice et donner à
Cancre
toute l’ambition à laquelle il peut rêver. C’est ainsi que se retrouvent ici
Eric Digaire
, réalisateur chevronné les poussant à sortir du confort de leur registre pour oser de nouvelles
sonorités,
Clet Beyer
qui participe à la composition et enfin
Florian Pardigon
, ami d’enfance, qui vient enrichir la formation de sa présence.
