In this edition of our arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim chats with one half of French duo Papooz, Ulysse Cottin, as the pair drop their fourth studio album “Resonate”. It’s a record full of euphoric sounds and melancholic lyrics, for which they enlisted the help of American songwriter Jesse Harris and superstar producer Patrick Wimberly. Ulysse and Armand first met after a chance encounter waiting in line at a Patti Smith concert. Unsurprisingly then, their music is steeped full of classic sounds, from the Beatles to the Beach Boys and the Velvet Underground.
We also shine a spotlight on an emerging French musical talent, Marguerite Thiam, who has gone from starring in a Rolling Stones video to dropping her first EP “Comme Les Grands”.
