Romane, Amy Winehouse à la française
Three months after the release of her first single,
Fantasy
, the young French songwriter Romane presents a second track,
Talking To a Wall
.
This time, no pop with R&B accents, but a powerful ballad with a serious tone, with a refined accompaniment.
We find, as in his first song, a deep voice that reminds us of Amy Winehouse, Adèle or Tracy Chapman.
All in a perfect English accent.

Lorde declares his love in the summer
“
I hate winter, I can't stand the cold
”.
From the first seconds, the New Zealand singer announces the color: her new title
Solar Power
is a luminous ode to summer, like her sparkling yellow dress that she proudly wears in her music video.
In this almost acoustic piece, we find with pleasure the sweet voice of Lorde, accompanied by a discreet feminine heart and some guitar notes.
An expected return from the one who had not released anything since
Melodrama
, awarded the Grammy Award for best album in 2017.

Close your eyes, with Moonage Hookers
Little known to the general public, Moonage Hookers is one of those ideal groups to punctuate long wild journeys.
This Parisian psyche rock band was formed in 2018 and a first EP was released the same year.
If their new single,
Time
, also provokes this desire for a road trip specific to their old tracks, Moonage Hookers recommends listening to it with your eyes closed, in order to
"create a moment apart, out of time, where for once we take time to feel ”
.
Between the name and the melancholy Pink Floyd tune that emerges from it,
Time
is an invitation to linger, to observe the imaginary and the real, a hymn to the passing of time.

Christmas post-Gallagher
He does not have the distinctive voice of his brother. But at a time when Liam Gallagher prides himself in a documentary to have made "the greatest comeback in the history of Rock'n'roll", Noel has never left far from the charts. After the muscular separation from Oasis in 2008, Noel Gallagher took the time. Time to extricate oneself, at first timidly, from the straitjacket established by his former group. Time to explore other horizons, putting his know-how in catchy melodies at the service of other horizons. With his High Flying Birds, the Manchester child now has a decade of (almost) solitary activity. It is this adventure far from the excessiveness of Oasis that
Back The Way We Came Vol. 1 (2011-2021) narrates
, a best-of grouping together the highest Christmas achievements in the world version after.
To accompany the launch of this double disc (+1 bonus), the author, composer, performer unveiled the very inspired New Wave clip of the new
Flying on the Ground
.

While the 13 is already full of famous rappers, the first label in the world launched by a football club has unearthed Sysa, a local rascal landed from Cayolle, south of the Marseille city. Rather at ease in egotrip, the newcomer to the Marseille scene has recently made a name for himself by posing alongside Jul on the compilation
13 Organized
. He continues his series of freestyles, an increasingly compulsory passage for young rappers, whose concept lies in the title:
C'est nous la cité
. After having scoured the great ensembles of his region, he has just released the sixth episode of what is beginning to look like a Tour de France, this time shot in Givors, below Lyon, in the city of Vernes.
