25-year-old Lulu Gainsbourg, son of Serge and Bambou, has just released his first album, a tribute to his father offering up his personal versions of hits like L’Eau à la bouche, Je suis venu te dire que je m’en vais and La Javanaise. The impressive guest line-up includes Marianne Faithfull, Vanessa Paradis, Johnny Depp and M.

The Congolese singer Maryse Ngalula, who has just won the Institut Français’ Visas pour la Création programme, took advantage of a 5-month residency in the French capital thanks to sponsorship from the Archimusic association run by saxophonist Jean-Rémy Guédon. By the end of her stay, the artist had put together a seven-track demo that displays an array of talent, including an agile, transparent voice, some sharp lyrics and a very personal style that swings between jazz and Congolese tradition.

On a sunny autumn afternoon, at 6B, an enormous creative space in the Parisian suburb of Saint-Denis, Camille received a clutch of journalists in her starkly empty studio. She likes things empty, she started off responding grudgingly, before launching into full swing. Her fourth album, Ilo Veyou, which she put together while she was pregnant, is a good indication of what makes her tick: organic, authentic art, stripped down and impulsive, strewn with happy moments large and small.

Their third joint album, In Trance, takes British guitar hero Justin Adams and Gambian musician Juldeh Camara one step closer to perfect alchemy, and give us a lesson in groove and trance.
