This week we chat to EMPRS (pronounced Empereurs), a new French collective that mix hip-hop, rock and electro with lyrics in both French and English and whose debut and eponymous album features musicians and actors from across the world. We find out more about them and also look at new releases from The Kills and DJ Shadow, as well as the arrival of Britney Spears's tell-all autobiography "The Woman In Me".
This week, we chat to young up-and-coming French band Bandit Bandit. Composed of Maëva and Hugo, the duo make rock music filled with swirling guitar riffs, melodies and lyrics in French, delivered occasionally with the kind of nonchalance that would make Serge Gainsbourg proud. They've just released their first album "11:11" and are definitely a French act to watch.
Described as soul music’s prodigal son, French singer-songwriter Alexis Evans has built a name for himself on the French music scene. After his first album “Girl Bait” in 2016, and the highly acclaimed “I’ve Come a Long Way” in 2019, he has now released his third album, “Yours Truly”. It features 12 catchy tracks that draw inspiration from ’60s and ’70s classic soul mixed with more contemporary sounds.
French four-piece MNNQNS are back with "The Second Principle", a sophomore album which led them to experiment a lot in the studio and embrace new progressive space rock sounds whilst keeping their hypnotic post-punk vibes and pop song structures. Singer and guitarist Adrian d'Epinay popped by the FRANCE 24 studios to tell us more. We also take a look at new releases from Viagra Boys, Biga Ranx and Lous and the Yakuza.
French singer-songwriter Gaspard Royant has transitioned from recording his poptastic retro rock in analogue studios with a live band, to getting more experimental with keyboards and electronics. The songwriting remains playful, fresh and uplifting as he tackles themes like toxic masculinity and frustration with the modern world whilst telling the stories of dark characters. He stopped by the FRANCE 24 studios to tell Marjorie Hache more about his third album, "The Real Thing".
