Jon Batiste:“ Big Money” Fans of Black American music are going to hit the ceiling. This is not just an album, but a leap of faith into the musical DNA of New Orleans: blues, jazz, soul … Best known in Europe for his soundtrack to Soul( Pixar), Jon Batiste is rightly regarded as a prodigy in the land of Uncle Sam. After brilliantly managing to put Beethoven into the orbit of the blues, the musical boss of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert takes immense pleasure in resurrecting the musical mosaic of Louisiana this time around. Carried by a fantastic sound, a strong presence of guitar, and a thunderous groove, these eight tracks run through every emotion with rare delight and daring brilliance. Whether you love Prince, Al Green, Ray Charles, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, or even Bob Marley, this Big Money is a“ Big Idea” of genius.
Bertrand Belin:“ Watt” If you’ ve never heard of this Breton poet with the magnetic timbre, you really should think about switching off Equidia or putting down the reins from time to time. Start your training quickly with his debut hit Hypernuit, plug in your earbuds for Choses Nouvelles, and let the horses loose with his remix of Oiseau( with Laurent Bardainne and Tigre d’ Eau Douce). After this catch-up session, you’ ll understand that Bertrand Belin is set to stay in the saddle for a long time on the rooftops of French chanson. And this new album, his eighth, released at the steady rhythm of one every three years, will do nothing to slow down this favorable tailwind. A total artist, BB sings the banal— preferably the off-kilter— with a theatrical height very much astride the absurd. An“ unknown in person” already essential. A worthy heir to Bashung.
