is unapologetically bold while using recurring rhythmic elements to lure you in.

MARIA Die RUHE

tells us about the importance music holds for her:

« Music cannot save the world, but it can safe your soul. This big source of magic that unites all of us literally did in my case. Music genuinely forced me to confront myself with all colours of the rainbow that my soul wants to explore and translate them into waveforms. With this song, I am expressing my massive love for music, the dance floor and everything connected to it. In my very own strange way and my mother tongue, German as well as some French and English. Musik ist meine Sprache. Music is my mother tongue. Forever. »

Mamfredos dévoile son clip « Roméo » en feat avec Philippe Katerine

Mamfredos feat Philippe Katerine

Nouveau clip « Roméo »

Avec ce clip animé, Mamfredos et Katerine inaugurent le dancefloor et annoncent l’arrivée d’un été décomplexé. Sous la boule à facettes colorée, on danse un cocktail à la main sur une électro pop désinvolte estampillée 80’s : son propre son qui déjoue les codes de la scène pop actuelle nourrie d’auto-tune.

Mamfredos a longtemps été un petit lutin aux cheveux blonds qui gambadait dans les studios des pontes de la pop française. Toute jeune adolescente, elle joue, elle arrange, elle bidouille avec Gregori Czerkinsky du groupe Mikado, avec Walter, l’ancien rockeur des Tokow Boys ou encore Helena Noguerra qui lui conseille de se jeter à l’eau en solo.

Aujourd’hui, elle est adulte, trente ans passés et vingt ans de travail acharné sur les instruments, à chercher son propre son, une électro pop savante qui puise juste ce qu’il faut de chic, dans les 80’s. Mamfredos pousse le perfectionnisme jusqu’à créer son propre studio, en dehors de Paris, à Provins en Seine-et-Marne.

Son studio, elle le garde comme une louve qui protège ses secrets de fabrication. Elle ne le partage que pour quelques sessions d’enregistrement avec ses anciens mentors devenus amis. Philippe Katerine et Sylvie Hoarau, par exemple, qui chantent dans son cocon, le “Slowve” de son premieralbum Baraka à venir.

Mais avant l’album, elle sort comme il se doit des EP, “le ça” un disque doré accompagné d’un livret collector et “Paillettes Discrètes” où Katerine fait encore une fois, son Roméo.

Mamfredos compose, écrit, arrange, enregistre et mixe en solitaire. Rares, sont les artistes capables d’autant de cordes à leurs arcs. Elle est l’artiste de l’ombre que l’on appelle pour réparer les chansons blessées, tout autant que la bête de scène qui tient son public seule avec ses guitares et ses machines pour des concerts à danser.

Sur la scène pop actuelle, pourrie d’auto-tune, Mamfredos est une artiste, une vraie comme on en fait plus, avec une plume et une histoire de vie plus dense que tous les romans de toutes gares. »

CASSIA présente son nouveau clip « Not Enough Time To Think »

CASSIA

Nouveau clip « Not Enough Time To Think »

La pop solaire et chatoyante de

CASSIA

a encore frappé ! Après la vidéo de

Motions

et cette pensée obsessionnelle du temps qui passe et nous file entre les doigts, le trio anglais et son groove imparable revient avec “

Not Enough Time To Think

” un nouveau single toujours aussi éblouissant de fraicheur, nouvel extrait de leur prochain album «

Why You Lacking Energy

» à paraître le 15 juillet 2022.

Préquel du clip

Motions

réalisé par Vasilia Forbes, la vidéo de

Not Enough Time To Think

réalisée par Scott Kennedy fait écho à cette société contemporaine, altérée par le scrolling infini et infernal des réseaux sociaux et par la surcharge d’informations qui en découle. Avec toujours cette même question qui subsiste : devrions-nous utiliser ce temps – à jamais perdu dans les méandres du net – à faire autre chose ?

NOUVEL ALBUM

WHY YOU LACKING ENERGY?

LE 15 JUILLET 2022

L’album dont la sortie est prévue pour le

15 Juillet

, est représenté comme le ‘

Motion Energy Drink

’, le « traitement » contre la force qui se détériore. De ballades de piano calmes à des vifs synthétiseurs, l’album auto-produit nous plonge dans une tension plus que présente dans les morceaux de Cassia. Ce sont des chansons qui nous font vivre le moment présent, mais qui atteignent nos pensées mélancoliques du passé et anxieuses pour le futur. Il sera disponible en édition limitée avec un vinyle rose pâle ainsi qu’en vinyle tricolore disponible chez HMV. Les fans auront également la possibilité d’acheter de cassettes pailletées.

Cassia

fuit la réalité grâce à des mélodies colorées et entraînantes, mais derrière cette image se cachent de grandes introspections. Avec

Rob Ellis

au chant et à la guitare,

Lou Cotterill

à la basse et

Jake Leff

aux percussions, les musiciens créent ensemble des chansons cathartiques qui leurs permettent de prendre le contrôle de leurs émotions. « L’écriture nous permet de mieux nous connaitre, explique Lou, tout est dit dans les paroles ».

Les rythmes infusés de bonne humeur de leur premier album Replica (2019) avaient permis au groupe

originaire de Macclesfield

de se hisser au rang de chouchou des festivals, décrochant dans la foulée une session live aux mythiques Maida Vale studios pour BBC Radio1. Après deux (trop) longues années où ils n’ont pas pu arpenter les routes, le clip du single « Similar » a su montrer la joie ressentie par les garçons de pouvoir remonter sur scène. La chanson, marquée par une guitare plutôt lourde et une attitude refusant tout compromis, est un doigt d’honneur à « la mauvaise énergie ». Elle dénote surtout le début d’une nouvelle ère pour Cassia : « On a arrêté de se prendre la tête à vouloir définir ce à quoi une chanson de Cassia devait ressembler, annonce Jake un sourire aux lèvres, c’est tout un nouveau monde qui s’offre à nous ».

C’est cette révélation qui a mené le trio vers son nouvel album débordant de vie, «

Why You Lacking Energy

? ».

Quelques mois la sortie de

DISSIDÆNCE Épisode 1,

très bien accueillie par la critique comme par le public, Vitalic tient ses promesses et nous offre une suite plus techno et plus sombre que le premier volet, marquée par une esthétique industrielle froide et minimale. Une composition et une production brutes non sans rappeler l’héritage post-cold wave – ancré dans l’ADN du producteur depuis toujours – et désormais revendiqué plus que jamais.

DISSIDÆNCE Épisode 2

s’ouvre avec «

Sirens

», dangereuse tornade électronique et transpirante. Puis « Dancing in the Street », «

The Void

» & « Light is a Train » prennent place, parfaits concentrés de techno épurée, alarmante, mécanique et froide. Face à cette hostilité, de jolis temps de respirations et de poésie avec « Marching », « Friends & Foes » et « Winter is coming » laissant place à la mélodie et à la mélancolie. Un projet bicéphale dont Vitalic a le secret, entre énergie implacable et voyage cosmique étrange.

Jillian Lake shares her new single “Steady Hands

Jillian Lake

New single “Steady Hands

Spotify

The emotional “Steady Hands,” narrates raw and vulnerable moments of grief and heartbreak to self-discovery and falling in love.

Vancouver indie artist, Jillian Lake, mixes velvet sounds and big feelings to transport you into her world of sweet sorrow in a way that will make you want to take your broken heart out dancing. Feelings transposed onto paper and into music, movements, and visuals – her complex collage of sound with moody folk undertones can be compared to indie female powerhouses like Feist, Maggie Rogers, and Phoebe Bridgers.

Teaming up with musician and producer, Jordan Klassen, who brought his cinematic and syncopated style to her stripped-down singer-songwriter form, together they created an album that combines her raw poetry and instinct for melodies with his expertise in song structure and instrumentation.

Off of the upcoming album is the emotional “Steady Hands,” a song which narrates a challenging time for the songwriter, where she was experiencing vulnerable and raw moments of grief and heartbreak to self-discovery and falling in love. Lake confides, “I wrote this single when I was heartbroken living on the 22nd floor of an apartment right off Sunset Beach in Vancouver. I would sit in the living room and stare out at the most beautiful sunset over the horizon, and think – how can I not feel happy in this moment? I twistedly love the aching feeling because that’s what inspires my art. I am majorly influenced by my surroundings, my day to day, the people I see on the bus, the mundane walk to work, the sad sunset – I let it all affect how I’m feeling and that in turn comes out in my writing.”

With a reminiscent and nostalgic tone, “Steady Hands” sees the artist blurring the lines between folk, indie, pop and singer-songwriter. Her soft, delicate vocals and wistful harmonies dance atop warm, organic instrumentation, resulting in a heartfelt, sentimental release.

Jillian Lake has garnered notable press, as well as editorial playlisting on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon, reaching over 100K plays on one of her most recent singles. She has also had the pleasure of opening for Luca Fogale and is currently planning an international tour.

Elyse Jewel shares her new single “TBH IDK”

Elyse Jewel

New single “TBH IDK”

Spotify

The acclaimed 17-year-old singer/songwriter and mental health champion has unveiled her new confessional pop single “TBH IDK”, which profiles moving on after a toxic relationship and finding humor after an unsuccessful love story. Elyse confides, « The chorus and the title of the song were inspired by his response when I asked what our relationship was to him. He

actually

said “tbh idk”, and ghosted me. »

Elyse Jewel is breaking the 4th wall when it comes to mental health. As a lifelong performer and a notably kind, playful personality she is out to change the world of Pop stardom by promoting healthy mental practices and leading authentic conversations through her songs. Jewel, who leads the maturing generation of Swifties, takes heart when writing about young love, heartbreak, and dusting oneself off. “My songwriting process feels like a therapy session a lot of times,” she says of sharing authentic storytelling. « I want my music to resonate with people and for those who hear it to think, ‘Hey that’s how I feel’ or ‘I’ve been in that situation.’”

Elyse Jewel isn’t all bubblegum, though. Her new tracks are packed with clever quips and gritty guitar licks as if to follow a warm hug with a jolting push to the ground. In her pre-EP single, “TBH IDK”, Jewel sings about her love interest being sweet one minute and sour the next leaving her with nothing but a song to sing to which she claps back, “I can’t be your therapist”. Despite her lyrical jabs Jewel’s social media is glittered with encouraging notes to followers and “How are you?” captions. The threads of comments are full of heartfelt responses to anyone sharing a struggle or a triumph.

Dear Diary, a 6-song visual album set to release late Summer 2022, is the artist’s debut showcase of her ability to craft, and execute, a complete vision. Accompanied by a visual component with each song, the nearly 18-year-old faces heavy emotions head-on, taking listeners through the familiar process of feeling butterflies for someone new, to discovering they aren’t who they projected themselves to be, and coming to terms with what we tend to allow people to get away with for the sake of companionship and cute social media pics. Though this project is new, in every release since her debut single, “Thinking About You” in 2019, Elyse sheds light on the feelings we’ve all encountered with the goal of helping people to feel less alone. “It’s important that I create a safe space with every listener.”

Jake Lancer shares his new EP « Take Off »

Jake Lancer

New EP « Take Off »

Spotify

Take Off!

explores the defiance of his own fears, love, trauma, and joy, using his life’s stories as a canvas to create a compilation of tracks that serve as one singular function.

New York City, singer, songwriter, Jake Lancer encapsulates the art of storytelling, the nostalgia of pop music, and the vitality of the New York City club kid scene in his debut EP as a solo artist.

His debut EP

Take Off!

, explores the defiance of his own fears, love, trauma, and joy, using his life’s stories as a canvas to create a compilation of tracks that serve as one singular function. Jake Lancer’s first single,

Feel Your Love

,

is an exploration of sexuality, the timeless nature of pop music, and Lancer’s longing for affection. Lancer’s cry for help becomes a celebration for the universal desire for love and intimacy. Another notable track on

TAKE OFF!

, is

Paris a

90’s inspired dance ballad that tells a story of having to say goodbye to a lover who is moving to Paris. Lyrically the song explores Jake’s internal monologue, not wanting to be selfish in keeping his lover in New York City while the track sonically pays references to some of the greats, like Whitney Houston to other artists like Big Wild and Years and Years.The last track on

Take Off

!, is

Tomorrowland

Jake Lancer’s influences range from artists like Lady Gaga, Abba, David Bowie, to Troye Sivan. Growing up closeted yet a part of the LGBTQIA community, Jake dreamed of creating pop music that not only inspired but could give a voice to anyone on their own healing journey. Now a proud out gay man, Jake Lancer is also a mental health professional as a working therapist in New York City. Having studied mental health, musical theater at various esteemed institutions, and worked as a part of the music industry at Universal Music Group, the multi-talented artist has translated his training and life experience into his music.

Jake Lancer’s music is more than an expression of pop and dance, but a mechanism for healing, a love story, and a voice for those feeling both heartbreak and life’s greatest euphoria.
