On the menu of new musical releases of the week, some tricolor nuggets!
The weeks follow each other and are not the same in the musical release department. This Friday January 19 is marked by several notable new releases, such as the new (again!) album by Jul, tireless and prolific rapper from Marseille, two duets as unexpected as they are appreciated: Arthur H and -M- on a song called Los Magnificosas well as Voyou and Vanessa Paradis with Prom.
We continue this playlist of almost exclusively French releases with a trio, the DJs David Guetta and Kungs with British singer Izzy Bizu, who released the title All Night Longdetermined to make you dance, but also the third album by the Belgian rapper phenomenon Shay: As long as it rains. Finally, how to miss Saviorsthe new record from the Californians of Green Day or the single from the Libertines, Shivers ?
Turn up the sound, plug in your speaker, here are the new features of the week that you shouldn’t miss:
Jul: Decade
We could almost feel like we’re writing it every week: Marseille rapper Jul is releasing his new album this Friday! Baptized Decade, this is the thirtieth (!!!) album by the artist, who is celebrating ten years of his career. We’ll let you do the math.
Arthur H and -M-: Los Magnificos
The two French singers Arthur H and Matthieu Chedid unite for a song, entitled Los Magnificos – which is actually a cover of the song El Magnifico by Arthur H – almost two decades after their last duet, Do you likereleased in 2006. “Another story of friendship and solidarity, but more violent and mystical”, explains Arthur H. The two artists will sing this title on the stages of the Seine Musicale on February 1, the date of the concert of Arthur H for his album THE LIFE.
David Guetta, Kungs and Izzy Bizu: All Night Long
“I hope you will all dance to it as much as we enjoyed collaborating together, from Paris to London!”, writes French DJ Kungs about this trio with his elder David Guetta and British singer Izzy Bizu, on a song titled All Night Long and which, as its name suggests, is not made to listen to it without moving.
Green Day: Saviors
Californian rockers Green Day unveil their fourteenth studio album, Saviors, this Friday, January 19. For this new record, we take the same ingredients and start again: American capitalism had better watch out. Tré Cool, Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt will be in concert at the AccorArena in Paris on June 18.
Vanessa Paradis and Voyou: Prom
In the section of French collaborations, let’s now find Voyou, who invited Vanessa Paradis to dance a waltz to the song Prom, released alongside its equally sweet music video. Our dedicated article is here.
Shay: As long as it rains
She has become THE French-speaking rap phenomenon: at 31, the young artist Shay, nominated for the next Victoires de la Musique in the Audiovisual Creation category, unveils her third project, an album called As long as it rains.
The Libertines: Shivers
We end (in style) with Shiversthe new single from the group worn by Pete Doherty, The Libertines, a new taste of their next album All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade, announced on March 8. The lyrics of the title evoke the death of the Queen of England Elizabeth II in September 2022: “The day they boxed Lizzy… The last king of every dying empire, let him die / Sit back, enjoy the ride / Every dying soldier’s last dream / I’ll see you there, flowers in my hair.”
