Kid Francescoli announces new remix of his single RUN,RUN by long-time friend & producer French 79 (out June 13th)

The two Marseille based artists are currently touring worldwide playing their new albums (Sunset Blue for Kid Francescoli and Teenagers for French 79) in sold out venues and festivals to a growing number of fans.

This single captures the magical sensation of the "golden hour", bringing the best of both worlds together: on one side the captivating vocals and romantic harmonies of Kid Francescoli and on the other side the dreamy synths and ecstatic electronic music of French 79. The remix is an addicitive and uplifting version of the solar song which celebrates life's achievements and empowerment. A new French Touch anthem for your upcoming summer of love.

Dopamoon return with a new album DOPALOVA

The Parisian producer duo continue their global adventure collaborating with a colorful array of artists: DOPALOVA draws together artists from Japan (kumisolo), the UK (Rocket Mike), India (Tracy De Sá, SOOM T), Canada (Francesca Blanchard), the USA (Daemon), Brazil (João Selva)… in addition to new friends made along the way from France (Romain Muller, Napkey).
On the biggest hit from their first album, DOPAMOON sang “11th floor, nearer the sun/11th floor, nothing’s the same anymore” and the 11 tracks of this, their second project, continue this upward trajectory in creating an ever more sparkling and surprising pop sound.
With an underlying psychedelic groove (thundering bass, rousing percussion and glistening guitar) the duo have been able to formulate a truly international sound shaped by the idiosyncrasies of their chosen collaborations.
In transforming their home studio into a club, where a warm and carefree attitude are all that’s needed to enter, DOPAMOON have managed the feat of creating an alien soundtrack for those of us still on earth: a dance music that’s organic, modern but not electronic; of this world, yet at the same time not. Everything is improvised and yet everything fits together just as it should, held together under the influence of some miraculous new substance.
DOPALOVA is a recreational and addictive drug which can give you special powers. The music of DOPAMOON is a pleasure seeking musical kaleidoscope, openly ‘feel-good’ and eccentric: versatile funk, deliberately euphoric, resolutely hedonistic which finds its inspiration in the ‘swinging 60s’, 70s soul, 80s disco, 90s ‘big-beat’, noughties pop and the global urban music that followed. DOPALOVA is an album of communion, of friendship, of self-esteem and love - allow it to make you start living your best life, NOW.

Sarah Rebecca, the most Parisian of American divas, is back with “PLEASURE MADE” May 3rd (pre-save link in comment)

Known worldwide for her collaborations with SLOVE, French 79, Kid Francescoli, Tiësto, Dombrance, Naeleck ... her songs synchronized in the Netflix series Emily in Paris, Russian Doll, Never Have I Ever, Locke & Key... or in luxury ads Cartier, JIMMY CHOO, SAINT LAURENT ... the Mississippi native returns to business and sets the tone from the start on the "Road trip" at the opening of her second album:

"Sweet little girl who fell to earth
tell me did it hurt?
when the devil fu**ed you up?
tell me, tell me, did it hurt?”

Ready to fight, Sarah Rebecca delivers her most personal texts and magnifies them with her incredible voice, recognizable among all. Whether flamboyant or melancholic, ambitious or nostalgic, realistic or dreamy, direct or suave, luminous or dark, dazzling or introspective, Sarah Rebecca's songs all have the common point of coating her impulses with glamour.

"Love ends like this
But I swear it’s coming
Coming around again"

Sensual sounds and scents of thwarted love, his tracks can be listened to like devouring a diary. She expresses all her creativity and all her talent, as if freed from a sinister past, whether distant or near.

“Being an artist in Mississippi is very oppressive. It’s the countryside, they are quite racist and misogynistic. At seventeen, with my school choir I was able to sing Vivaldi in the legendary Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice. When I turned 18, I left. I couldn't stand this conservative and patriarchal climate any longer. I went to New York, all over California. One day, I had a friend who said to me: ‘Wouldn’t you like to do a little tour of Europe? Spain, London, France? And then I said to myself that it really wasn’t stupid and that I really wanted to see these countries. And then when I arrived in Paris, the big cliché, I met a man and I stayed. For better and for worse ".

After practicing in the gospel choir of the Baptist church with her grandmother then perfecting her art with her mother at karaoke, Sarah Rebecca then draws on the strength of the women who inspired her and claims active feminism. Beneath her appearance as a luscious platinum blonde with Marylin Monroe-style red lips, Sarah Rebecca is not the type of woman to let her destiny escape her.

"The sacred that I mix with pop, is a way to write with my heart and to sing with hope. It is an escape but also the expression of my soul, of my deepest emotions, of my desires , of my sorrows, of my doubts: I am someone impulsive, without filter"

On "PLEASURE MADE" Sarah Rebecca, plowing the furrow of her hit "Call Me", is determined to take control of her chaotic life and transpose it into a synthetic setting, navigating between French touch and disco pop.

"I know you’ve been going through it
Feeling like you failed again
I know you are tired of trying
But everyone deserves a second chance
if only you could see yourself
See how far you’ve come
Show the world
Who you are
If only you could see yourself
Another shining star
When you open up open up
Your heart"

The songs on “PLEASURE MADE” are the fruit of a fury to live with passion.
They show a rich palette of expressions that Sarah Rebecca knows how to play brilliantly, between darkness and light.
