Black Pink's K-pop choreography, the rap legacy of the late Nepal and the psychedelic pop of Brazilian Gus Levy ... Check out our weekend playlist.
Thurston Moore, the stainless
The frontman of Sonic Youth returns with
By The Fire
, his eighth solo album.
Without disrupting his habits, Thuston Moore alternates ten-minute experiments and more classic compositions.
The song
Cantaloupe
and its heavy riff, punctuated by a haunting and distorted solo reminds us that at the age of sixty, the adopted New Yorker has not lost any of his know-how in terms of psychedelia.
Overall uneven but fundamentally successful, the album will delight those nostalgic for the
Dirty
period
of Sonic Youth.
Billie Eilish, James Bong girl
Nancy Sinatra, Paul McCartney, Sheryl Crow, Madonna, Adèle… All of them have composed the credits of a James Bond during their careers.
To
Die Can Wait
, which hits theaters on April 2, 2021, the delicate mission of the opening track has been entrusted to Billie EIlish.
The one who has already proven that talent has no age has delivered for the occasion a melancholy piece, at the height of those of its illustrious predecessors.
The clip accompanying the film's eponymous song features footage from the feature film interspersed with black-and-white shots of the 18-year-old singer, the youngest to voice the most famous secret agent.
Ninho, standard bearer of the 91
Period of unity for French rap.
After
Bande Organisée
, the summer hit from the future album
13
Organisé,
which brings together Jul, Sch, Soso Maness and the other Marseille rappers, Ninho and his friends are also embarking on a 100% made in Essonne compilation.
For
In the Zone
, the first clip, things were done big.
Tank, large cars, neon signs bearing the numbers "9" and "1" and a giant Paris Saint-Germain jersey flocked with the same distinctive sign.
"91 All Star", a large-scale project that Ninho - just like the diamond disc he has just obtained for his album
Destin -
will be keen to make shine.
Black Pink, Korean rigor
Blackpink and success, already an old story.
Dua Lipa, Selena Gomez, Cardi B and David Guetta have all worked with the new K-Pop muses for the past two years.
Comfortable on a wide variety of musical styles, from pop to rap to acoustic ballads, they sing in English, Korean and Japanese.
With
The Album
and its prestigious featurings, Blackpink now seems to want to consolidate its place as a major player in the music industry.
Devonté Hynes the sober cheek
Devonté Hynes proves once again that he lives best in eclecticism.
Always in demand, this time he signs the soundtrack of
We are who we are,
the HBO series directed by Luca Guadagnino (
Call me by your name
).
Attention fans of his r & b alias Blood Orange - under which he released his albums - and of his productions for Solange, A $ ap Rock, Mac Miller or Kylie Minogue, here the protean artist falls in love with contemporary music.
He has already collaborated on several occasions with Philip Glass.
For the soundtrack of
We are Who we are,
Devonté Hynes plays sobriety with a series of slow tracks in solo piano and electronic effects, where the tone is solemn.
New Jazz Century, avant-garde compilation
Interesting choices than those of Adult Swim in their new compilation.
The media advance its desire to "
put more jazz in the spotlight
".
Without putting water in his wine.
Very current, the 15 songs presented do not pour into the
boring
easy listening
.
They show real attention to the riches of the genre.
“
We tried to narrow the list down to a band that shows the diversity of the genre today, both in terms of musicians and musical forms
,” says Adult Swim.
Therefore, free-jazz is not only not discarded, but returned to some of the most inspired musicians of the moment that are Matana Roberts (for 20 years), Angela Bat Dawid, Jaimie Branch.
Composed mainly of New Yorkers and, more broadly, Americans, the compilation welcomes Londoners Sons of Kemet, Yazz Ahmed and Sarathy Korwar.
We intermittently touch the precipices of the avant-garde without the breathless and repetitive rhythms (of techno or hip-hop inspiration) marked with the seal of the new century never being far away.

Gus Levy, the Brazilian sorcerer
One would swear that he passed, one day in his life, traveling or in music, through California.
However, Gus Levy is very Brazilian.
The languor, the lightness, the sweet chants in chorus and an influence drawn from the MPB (Brazilian popular music) ascending samba rock (he names Jorge Ben) attest to this.
But there is something else.
Retro touches, others current whose mix makes the refreshing signature of Gus Levy.
His psychedelic pop in warm colors oscillates between dreams and rock swings on the guitar.
She finds her inspiration in Connan Mockasin and seems to drag in her sneakers a little Californian sand (
Sua Força
) by its hovering and romantic side.
Masterfully performed by the musicians who accompany Gus Levy,
Magia Magia
arrives in France this fall on the 180g label, one year after its Brazilian release.
Telepopmusik, the return of the French Touch
The new Telepopmusik album has for him the charm of the comeback.
Fifteen after their last album, the group of the French touch generation was hardly expected.
With
Everybody breaks the line,
Telepopmusik is moving away from its trip hop DNA.
Brighter, more flowing, the album embraces the song format and takes an electro pop turn.
Strangely, the side step takes us further back in time, with a sound that echoes the 90's.
Feels like being on MTV.
Without it becoming difficult to recognize the group.
Still without a regular singer, Telepopmusik has retained the hallucinated paw at the heart of the immense success of
Breathe
, their eternal
hit
.
Singer Angela McCluskey is still there, twenty years later, on two tracks (
Hopali
and
Everybody Breaks the Line
), while the group welcomes other singers.
Nepal, the best is yet to come
From a series of unseen unveiled by relatives of the late rapper, Cheddar continues the melancholy vibe initiated on previous projects in Nepal and pushed to its climax on
Adios Bahamas
.
The text and the irreproachable flow of the Parisian are carried here by a guitar with jazz accents and a mix bordering on lo-fi.
Four other titles with very diverse atmospheres (
In the background
,
Benji
,
Same
life
and
Coach
K
) were published this week, proof that the legacy left by the rapper who died in November 2019 still holds many surprises.
