The White Stripes at their best

A hymn cut (by chance) for the stadiums but not only.

In almost 15 years of career, The White Stripes have forged a solid collection of hits, too often relegated to the shadow of the inevitable

Seven Nation Army

.

Separated since 2011, Meg and Jack White are releasing their

Greatest Hits

today

.

The opportunity to dive back into the rich discography of those who, better than anyone, knew how to sing the electric blues.

There are the essentials

Icky Thump

,

Fell In Love With a Girl

,

The Hardest Button To Button

,

Blue Orchid

,

I'm Slowly Turning Into You

and

Ball And Biscuit

, but also

Jolene

, the incredible cover of Dolly Parton, and the howling trumpets of

Conquest

.

And since a little promotion never hurts, the group unveils for the occasion the unpublished clip of

Let's Shake Hands

, the first track published 22 years ago and the perfect entry point into their universe clad in red, white and black.

To immerse yourself in the music of the group from Detroit - carried by the binary drums of Meg White and the so particular guitar playing of her friend - is also to remember the swarming period of "groups in

The

", and this last burst of music that is always looking for its new messiah.

NB

Laura Cahen share in

Cavale

After working on the soundtrack for the film

I Lost My Body

, Laura Cahen is back with a new title.

In

Cavale

, the 30-year-old French artist with an intoxicating voice sets out in search of a certain feminist freedom.

The text, all in rhyme, merges perfectly with the melody at the same time light and powerful, these electronic sounds accompanied by a bass or a battery.

In the clip, where we find the actress Camille Rutherford, the director Edie Blanchard imagined “

a staging focused on the female gaze.

Today we lack a new eroticism, strong female characters, who take responsibility ... It's a whole universe to explore and reinvent constantly.

YUNGBLUD, modernized English rock

For two years, the arrival of YUNGBLUD has given a second breath to English rock.

Modern without having forgotten the basics of the genre, the music of the 23-year-old Briton no longer goes unnoticed.

With his second album

Weird!

, he intends to win once and for all.

With titles like

cotton candy

,

mars

or

the freak show

, the singer continues to bring his touches of rock to the pop world.

More aggressive and just as tasty,

strawberry lipstick

,

charity

or even

superdeadfriends

provide the album with a good dose of old-fashioned nods.

Difficult to classify YUNGBLUD, which can just as easily move with

it's quiet in beverly hills

as create a pogo thanks to its new collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly,

acting like that

.

In 42 minutes, there is something for everyone.

Texas & Wu-Tang Clan, nostalgia rediscovered

In 1998, Sharleen Spiteri, of the group Texas, and Method Man, of the Wu-Tang Clan, had ignited the ceremony of the Brit Awards with

Say What you Want

.

Almost twenty years later, they are reunited again with the title

Hi

.

The sublime voice of Sharleen Spiteri accompanies the phrasing of the famous hip-hop group in this light title, just like the clip which features a good-natured kidnapping.

This new title proves once again that the chemistry between the two groups works wonderfully.

Less erotic but just as dynamic,

Hi

easily finds its place as one of the best tracks from the Scottish band.

Archie Shepp & Jason Moran, a duo for history

Their notes drag on as much as the emancipation of African-Americans ... Archie Shepp and Jason Moran concentrate the pain of centuries of abuse in eight heart-breaking minutes.

For more than sixty years, saxophonist Archie Shepp has brought the history of his people at arm's length through his music.

He reinterprets

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

, a 19th century “spiritual”, with pianist Jason Moran, another cornerstone - almost forty years his junior - of American jazz that looks to its roots.

Spiritual

songs

were for the first Afro-Americans made slaves their last space of freedom.

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

says it all in a few sentences.

Richie Havens renamed it

Freedom

after playing it in Woodstock in 1969. Archie Shepp & Jason Moran go with their guts, giving the song all its dramatic significance.

Each note is loaded with a thrill.

Let my people go,

the duo album from which

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

is extracted

, will be released on February 5, 2021 on Archieball, the saxophonist's label.

Thom Yorke, Burial & Four Tet, planing textures

The leader of Radiohead and the two star producers - for listeners keen on electronic experimentation - meet nine years after the maxi

Ego / Mirror.

The announcement caused a sensation.

Her revolution

and

His rope,

the two new recorded tracks were pressed to only 300 copies by XL recordings, label of Radiohead, Gorillaz, Adele, MIA or Tyler, the Creator.

The records are already all sold.

This association at the top gives rise, unsurprisingly, to a marvel of atmospheric music for night owls, close to introspective ecstasy.

A light in the night.

The spectral voice of Thom Yorke floats on a sensory production, all in textures, between crackles and synthetic refrains.

The Woman, between "disco" and "connection"

After

Paradigme

, then

Cool Colorado

two weeks ago

, the members of La Femme continue their musical work with

Disconnexion

.

A portmanteau made up of “disco” and “connection”, this new title is accompanied by a clip in their image, which reconnects with their Parisian cabaret sets.

This first plunges into a cartoonish literary program that resembles Bernard Pivot's “Bouillon de Culture”, before ending in a phantasmagoric orgy dreamed of by a philosopher on psychotropic drugs.

Between disco beat and banjo chords, this catchy new track announces the release of a third album very soon.

Camille Lellouche, from stand-up to song

Obviously, Camille Lellouche reaps all the successes.

Recognized in the world of humor with her show

Camille in real life

, and her many sketches on social networks, the 34-year-old artist is now starting to sing.

Last June, we already discovered her on the title

Mais je t'aime

, a duet with Grand Corps Malade.

Now she is back solo with the release of her first song

Je merci mon ex

.

A title with a perfectly produced clip and heady lyrics, which may stay in your head for a long time.

Thomas Dutronc and Clara Luciani, a hot morning croissant

Thomas Dutronc has just released the reissue of his album

Frenchy

released on June 19th.

On this new version, the singer offers himself the company of many artists such as Etienne Daho, his father Jacques Dutronc or even Jane Birkin.

But for now, it's his duet with Clara Luciani that holds our attention.

The latter have just unveiled the cover of the song

The first happiness of the day

, from the repertoire of Françoise Hardy.

A

“hot little croissant”

as the

Grenada

interpreter called it this morning

in a post on Instagram.

A morning sweetness to listen to without moderation.
