One of France's most acclaimed young artists and composers Emilie Simon performed at the prestigious Salle Pleyel in Paris, France on April 29th. After playing several fan favorites from her previous releases, Emilie premiered tracks from her upcoming album, Franky Knight . Stream the stunning performance (video link below). Franky Knight , which is being released in the U.S. on August 14, 2012, is an intensely emotional album that maintains a sense of both melancholy and joy. Renowned for her inventive production skills and use of electronic software in [...]
Lily Yellow , de son vrai nom Nina Gutknecht , est une chanteuse bernoise de 27 ans qui, d’après sa bio anglaise s’est fait connaître avec Grundi, un groupe Soul que sa bio décrit comme un « stage monster »… Dans le podcast, ayant été incapable d'en trouver la moindre trace, j'ironise sur le fait que le monstre est probablement du même type que le Big Foot ou le monstre du Loch Ness. Un groupe légendaire, mais dont l'existence n'est pas prouvée. Mais, retournement de situation, après une nouvelle lecture de la biographie, cette fois en Allemand, il s'avère [...]
French songstress and electronic music composer Emilie Simon has just released her latest US EP titled "The Cycle." Although I haven't listened to Simon's music to a great extent in the past, one of the song's remixes managed to capture my attention the other day. Composed by Midnight Sun, the remix/production guise of Andrew Raposo and Morgan Wiley of Midnight Magic/Jessica 6, and Ultramars (Emilie’s alter ego), this edit features an assortment of tropical and retro instrumentation that's surprisingly reminiscent of artists such as the Magician and Aeroplane. Completely caught off guard by the quality of this remix, I would [...]

It's been quite a busy year for French songstress Émilie Simon . Back in April, the now New-York-based chanteuse finally dropped her most recent album "The Big Machine" in the US after nearly two years of its original release. The album saw her leaving behind trip-hop soundscapes to explore '80s electro-pop, and spawned two fantastic singles/visuals, namely "Dreamland" and "Rainbow" . The project goes on as she just released a new US EP, "The Cycle" , featuring the album cut & new remixes. The [...]

Cette semaine, après plusieurs artistes un peu sombres, la musique que je vous propose est plus douce et plus épurée. L’artiste de ce soir nous vient de Berne et s’appelle Nadja Stoller. Nadja Stoller, ce n’est pas exactement une débutante. Avec différents projets, cela fait déjà de longues années qu’on peut l’entendre sur la scène musicale suisse. Elle nous a proposé du jazz avec le Nadja Stoller Trio ou un son plus pop ou chanson avec le groupe Lumi , qui partait déjà parfois dans des sonorités [...]

Playing the piano since the age of 5, worshipping Haendel and Chopin and finally covering The Pixies and 50 Cent: Meet Lise . The young singer/player just released an album (posted a track from her EP earlier) that was recorded in America and features a few English songs. The atmosphere, the emphasis on the piano, her breathy voice and her Franglais makes it easy to compare her to Emilie Simon - Lise takes that as a compliment. Well, we all know what happened to Simon ( ahem ), and though the English songs sound kooky in a cool way, [...]
Emilie Simon - Smalltown Boy
Just a few weeks back , we shared some unique and beautiful music from French songstress, Émilie Simon . We've brought her back today, firstly because The Big Machine is a heck of a record, and probably something that's going to evade your ears if you stick to traditional outlets. Secondly, Ms. Simon absolutely charmed us with her sparse piano-driven take on one of those songs that made the 80s so great and so confusing, Bronski Beat's Smalltown Boy . MP3 : [...]
