He would have been 101 this year. Brassens, the tender and gruff libertarian anarchist, author of dozens of brilliant songs and...
Pince-sans-rire, lordly, classy. Paolo Conte, creator and interpreter of Via con me, but also of the grandiose «Gli impermeabili», «Sotto le stelle del jazz», «Max» and «Hemingway», appears authentic in the documentary dedicated to him and just released in French-speaking Switzerland. This film is an opportunity to plunge into his mystery. It's also a beautiful object, with the chic and charm of the song of the same name.

LONG FORM INTERVIEW, Indra Crittin | If Claire Pommet, aka Pomme, is rightly described as a singer-songwriter, think of her more as a watercolorist. For her latest musical project, her pen - well, her paintbrush - was bathed in a sea of tears, an ocean of uncertainty. What she portrays is based on the transparency of her emotions - a palette of authentic colors. The artist from Lyon shares her lack of self-confidence, her fear of death, and her other experiences in a way that allows us to identify with her, while developing our own interpretation of her work. No wonder her work is minimalist: few layers of paint are needed for the light to reflect. The woman who was deeply influenced by Barbara, the lady in black, and who began to make a name for herself with YouTube covers, now takes us into her poetic world, at once dark and luminous. Her latest travel diary? A (final) reissue of her second album, «Les Failles», voted Album révélation at the 2020 Victoires de la musique awards. A far cry from her first album, which was A peu ce qu'elle voulait, this opus bears witness to her fully assumed artistic choices. Let's chat with this gifted young artist, who desacralizes taboos and writes magnificent love songs.
