Matt Pokora sort son dixième album, Adrénaline. L’icône de la pop française a créé 12 chansons faites pour vous. Reflet, pour vos chagrins d’amour. « Jeu de regards », pour l’inviter à danser. « Suis-moi je te fuis », si c’est compliqué. Ou encore « Tour du monde » (feat Ronisia), pour chanter vos meilleurs duos. De la POP majuscule, pour faire monter l’adrénaline.

What a rare treat to get a second album from I'm With Her, the folky supergroup of Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O'Donovan and Sara Watkins—who all have thriving, busy careers as recording and touring musicians. It's been seven years since the trio's excellent See You Around, and Wild and Clear and Blue was worth the wait. In fact, it might even top their debut. Opener "Ancient Light" gets right under your skin, with Jarosz taking the vocal lead before the others join in to harmonize and trade verses. Watkins' fiddle is pleasantly sharp, and the song's spirit evokes moody '90s-style folk—the era of Indigo Girls and Sarah McLachlan—but also the otherworldly vocal blending of the McGarrigle Sisters.

‘Light Pipe’ is a typically expansive missive by modular maestro M. Geddes Gengras, clocking in at 2.5 hours of abstract deep space ambience with traces of ‘70s synth epics and ‘90s chill-out functions smudged and teased into diaphanous new abstractions.
