Grand Corps Malade – Des Gens Beaux
Two of my favourite French artists nowadays are Grand Corps Malade and Hoshi. This story starts with the latter. Or rather, this is a story that stars the latter. Hoshi is a very gifted singer-songwriter. Also, she’s a proud member of the LHBTIQ+ community. For open-minded people like you and me, that’s as normal as anything. But you must know that since Hoshi kissed onstage with one of her (female) band members, she received the most appalling threats.
That’s not all, alas. Last April, French ‘music expert’ Fabien Lecoeuvre gave his (sexist) contribution in a radio show. He argued (allow me to paraphrase) that modern popstars are hideous to look at. “Take Hoshi for instance”, he said. “She’s a huge talent without a doubt, but would you hang her poster in your room? She’s scary. She should give her songs to pretty singers.”
(I’ll give you a few seconds to catch your breath…)
Obviously, Hoshi responded to this statement (“You make me puke”), and many French artists denounced Lecoeuvre’s judgments. The most powerful support now comes from Grand Corps Malade. He wrote a song about the affair. Des Gens Beaux is a danceable pop tune, that includes the journalist’s original remarks, combined with cynical lyrics in support of his colleague singer. Even if you don’t speak French, you’ll be able to feel the emotions.
Having said that, at first listen, I thought I heard GCM sing ‘Il faut des jambons’ (we need hams), but the lyrics go ‘Il faut des gens beaux’ (we need beautiful people), which is much more on topic… Don’t forget to watch the great video as well!

Weiss feat. Sharlene Hector – Lift Me Up
You may not know Sharlene Hector’s name, but I’m sure you’re familiar with her hits. Apart from fronting Basement Jaxx since 2001, she’s cooperated with a long and varied list of artists. Clean Bandit, Duke Dumont, Natasha Bedingfield, Nicole Scherzinger, Mark Ronson, Paloma Faith, Primal Scream, Royal Blood… Her voice attracted tens of millions of streaming listeners.
DJ/producer Richard Dinsdale, professionally known as Weiss, isn’t exactly an insignificant artist either. With his solo singles and collaborations with the likes of Becky Hill, he’s good for tens of millions of streams as well.
In other words, together, they’re a 2-piece super group. Their single Lift Me Up is ever as uplifting as you’d expect. It combines beats and a house piano straight from the early ‘90s with Hector’s stellar vocals. If you enjoyed Moby’s Go and Bassheads’ Is There Anybody Out There?, make sure to check this energetic track. It’s sure to evoke nostalgic feelings, and bring you back to the formative raving years.
Weiss says about working with Hector: “Sharlene’s been the voice behind so many of my favourite records over the last 20 years, but her name’s often been behind the scenes. I thought Lift Me Up was the perfect record to compliment her powerful and soulful voice. I’ve been a long-time fan, buzzing to have finally been able to work with her and feature her amazing talents on my production.”

Bakermat (feat. LaShun Pace) – Ain’t Nobody
God-fearing folks and non-believers are united in their praise (pun intended) of gospel music. It’s swinging, uplifting and brings a sense of euphoria and positivity to the table. What’s not to like about tracks like Go Like Elijah, Like A Prayer or even Underground?
Dutch DJ/producer Bakermat’s new single has the potential to be added to this series of classics. Ain’t Nobody is a funky feel-good dance tune, with a groove from here to eternity. And of course it features some deeply spiritual powerhouse vocals, courtesy of world-renowned singer LaShun Pace.
Speaking on the track, Bakermat says: “Since Teach Me, back in 2015, I really wanted to make a gospel inspired tune again. I absolutely love mixing genres and when I stumbled upon the original acapella by LaShun Pace I immediately began writing chords. I’m glad she approved me to release the end result! The track is a happy, cheerful and fun dance record that I’m very proud of. It is best enjoyed in sunny environments with positive people, and could be a real summer soundtrack if you’re into feel-good house music!”
Ain’t Nobody combines a piano, organ, horns, jazzy rhythms and four-to-the-floor beats. It’s the energetic lead single for Bakermat’s upcoming album. To be released this June, The Spirit will include many more funked-up church choirs and boasted spirituality to spice up your life. Hell yeah!

Everyone You Know – Higher
Do you like the way Kasabian combine the sounds of The Chemical Brothers and Oasis, and are you tired of waiting for them to resurface? Then you might consider for Everyone You Know to become your next favourite band.
EYK are British brothers Rhys and Harvey Kirkby. They released numerous singles and two EP’s in the past years. Now, they’re ready to put out a 12-track mixtape, Just For The Times, next June. Higher is the duo’s new single. A guitar-heavy affair with a bridge that’s carried by a good old house piano. What’s not to like about that?
Lyrically, it name-drops quite some musical heroes, most of them sadly deceased. Elton John, Frank Sinatra, Amy Winehouse, Patrick Swayze, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Lennon & McCartney, 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Aretha Franklin and even The Police’s Roxanne all make an appearance.
If you’re lucky enough to have been to an EYK concert (ages ago), you may know this tune already. They’ve been playing it live for 18 months to see it grow into a fan favourite. Sounds like a great radio track as well, if the stations worth their salt.
