Originally a four-man band founded in Marseille in 2000, Kid Francescoli is now the solo project of Mathieu Hocine. His music has that undeniable French touch, but is heavily influenced by both old Italian film scores and pop.

This week, Kid Francescoli release their next album Play Me Again, featuring Nancy Sinatra cover Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) and this new single The Player, an addictive spoken word track with a moody disco backdrop.
