Carla Bruni Releases Joyous Official Video For “Un grand amour”
Carla Bruni is a collection of French songs (plus one in English, one in Italian and one of which is in Spanish) and it serves as the artist’s first set of original music to be released in seven years. The album finds Carla Bruni wholeheartedly embracing her true self. Always sensitive, with emotions on the surface at times, the music on this album bears witness to a unique temperament and avoids ostentation. Listeners can sense a desire for a calm simplicity and serenity. Bruni wrote the majority of these songs herself, and the production of these was planned long before anyone set foot in the recording studio. Guitar, piano, a bit of foot-tapping and fragments of melody are the foundation of all the tracks, recorded behind closed doors with Albin de la Simone (Vanessa Paradis, Pomme, Alain Souchon, Pierre Lapointe), who produced and recorded the entire album in just six days with a small team of musicians. For his first collaboration with Carla Bruni, the multi-instrumentalist – one of the very best on the French scene in the past 20 years – was determined to give her new songs the most delicate treatment. The album is warm and familiar and inimitably Carla.

HIP Hop / Pop Punk Artist Vincent Tesoro Marches “The Parade Of The Lost” With New Single
Hip Hop/ Pop Punk artist Vincent Tesoro follows up the success of his latest video Dead End Streets with a dark and emotive single Parade Of The Lost. Produced by Fantom and accompanied by Alex Costova on keys, the song depicts a man’s world coming to end while suffering with mental health and trauma. At the same time fighting off the confusion and attacks within his mind, he appears to meet the “woman of his dreams”. “This song is for the lost, the people struggling to fit in and live a normal life. It’s for the different and unorthodox, that feel alone and suffer with chaotic thoughts. I chose this song because it cuts deeper emotionally than some of the others that have been recorded. It reminds me of Halloween on Christmas and it’s full of life experiences” says Vincent. Check it out now on your preferred streaming platform.

Motherfaster – Slower Father – (Heavy Metal / Hard Rock)
Motherfaster is the result of a bad idea, that was born after the end of a jam session, during the end of 2011. They are based in Athens with a common purpose. To extract the dirtiest side of their souls and present it as an audio insult.
After playing some gigs during 2012 – 2013, they took the request of their fans for an official release seriously! Consequently they hit the studio to create their self titled debut. The recording process started in early 2014. George Emmanuel engineered the album and Jeffro Lackscheide mixed and mastered it. In November 2014 the first single “The nymph and the god” was featured in the compilation CD Fear Candy, that comes with Terrorizer magazine (Issue 254). Legendary metal bands Exodus and Obituary were also in this CD. They released “Motherfaster” on February 24, 2015.

Earlier this year, Nick Flessa released Hey Partner, a karaoke-inspired country-disco romp for drum machine and voice, featuring Casio Sax arrangements by Oozelles’ Greg Marino. Hey Partner covers a range of topics stemming from Flessa’s experiences as a young artist during the late 2010s in Los Angeles. Equal parts sincere and humorous, this selection of lounge-adjacent music draws inspiration from the likes of Arthur Russell, Alex Cameron and Blue Jazz TV. Flessa’s unique approach brings a wonderful and disarming spaghetti western twist to his world of twangy glam and lofi boogie.

Artist: Dirty Picks – Track: Spending All My Love
It began as the aftermath of an unplanned participation in an obscure band competition located in a remote town up in Quebec City. A former project known as Pickseid (ska/punk/rock, 2004-2008) had been out of the scene for quite some time. Not thinking too much about it, we thought “what the hell” and went for it, not having practiced together for almost ten years.
Artist: Dr. Tik and R2R – Track: Magicien
“The story is incredible” Dedicated to scalar waves from Dr. Tik and R2R. Two french artists, straight out of the school of life of Corbeil Essonnes and the room of Spirit and Time (精神 と 時 の 部屋) Their music is a culmination of their evolution after meeting master KAIO, several passages on Namek, visiting a multitude of universes and a practice that goes as far as pushing the limits of the human body. A fusion that leads to a style without a name, a style that wants to be positive while reflecting human madness in all its splendor.
Artist: Marcus Cardello – Track: Love Ain’t Like Frankenstein
The concept of the song is confusion, regret, and longing for someone you’ve loved, but the love is lost, you don’t know why, but sadly when it’s gone, it’s dead.
After 30+ years, London’s DANIEL TAKES A TRAIN release ‘Last Ticket To Tango’ LP
London-based indie pop collective Daniel Takes A Train have released their new album ‘Last Ticket To Tango’, their first studio album after a wait of over 30 years. After splitting decades ago, the indiepop outfit reformed in 2018 and are back with 10 brand new songs, for which they worked with legendary producer Pat Collier (Katrina and The Waves, Primal Scream, Maximo Park) at Perry Vale Studios.
It’s a mystery why Daniel Takes A Train never hit the big time in the 1980s. After all, their members had recorded with Tom Robinson and The Monochrome Set, had tea and cakes with Slade and T Rex, partied with Paula Yates and The Pet Shop Boys at the 1987 Brits and even stole a set list from The Smiths!
