ENGLISH TEXTS
TRANSMISSION – Richard Evain“ Racing is on my mind morning, noon and night( and even at night!). I have other voluntary commitments but the horse is present in all of them. It is a magnificent, sensitive animal that gives us incredible emotions. Entrusting a pony to a child is also passing on this passion for a noble animal.”
VIRUS – Xavier Papot Although he had no runner at Le Lion d’ Angers and his wife had other plans, Xavier Papot came to support his young jockey. When you have the racing virus, seeing your colours on the track makes you thrill whatever the sporting stakes, the rider’ s age or the pony’ s breed! Some will say that this ABC is quite incomplete and that I should go back to school to revise my alphabet, but painting a more complete picture of the feelings experienced by professionals would probably have bordered on sentimentality! For those who would like to let their inner child feel alive again, you know what you have left to do.

Jessie Ware: Superbloom What a whirlwind! Often described as the missing link between Sade and Adele, the British pop star positions herself this time in another segment: somewhere between Diana Ross and Madonna. This sixth album sounds more“ dance music” than ever. Still as sophisticated, Jessie Ware fully embraces her role as the Queen of disco. Thirteen rich, if not ostentatious, tracks built on abundance and sensuality, revolving around her secret gardens. Her husband, her children— whose voices can be heard on Love You For— celebration, and a certain vision of paradise all hold a special place in this deceptively kitsch and genuinely joyful opus. Packed with cinematic references— including the theme from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly( Ride)— it’ s a creation designed to light up dancefloors.
Yerai Cortés: Popular A rhythm of millimetric precision. Fiery, soulful choral voices to the sound of hand claps and foot stomps. A guitar bursting into accelerations as dazzling as Daryz in the final 400 meters of the Prix Ganay.“ A new star of contemporary flamenco, Spanish guitarist Yerai Cortés dazzles with his virtuosic and sensitive playing,” sums up the Philharmonie de Paris, which will welcome him on July 3. Dedicated to his partner, singer La Tania, this new album released in mid-April is as exhilarating as it is moving( Taranta de Alicante), when it doesn’ t plunge into trance( Guitarra Coral). Following in the footsteps of Rosalía, the artist offers an interpretation that is both faithful and contemporary to the spirit of Andalusian music. A golden tocaor( guitar player).
Madonna, The Strokes … Spring 2026 Releases With this perfectly calibrated hit, Madonna unveiled“ the first taste” of her upcoming album Confession II on July 3. I Feel So Free naturally opens this joyful spring compilation, marked by another surprise release: the first single from Reality Awaits, the seventh album by The Strokes, announced on June 26. A very“ comeback”-oriented selection in which Thundercat makes his bass vibrate, Metronomy experiments, former L ' Impératrice singer Flore Benguigui takes a synthetic leap into the 1930s, The Lanskies dress up Kiss and The Cure, Kurt Vile calls on his“ old friends,” Gia Margaretenchants with her rediscovered voice, and the great Céline Dion naturally closes the ball with her unstoppable rebirth in the language of Molière. Or rather, of Jean-Jacques Goldman.
