Madeleine & Salomon

Madeleine & Salomon is the encounter of two artists with distinct musical backgrounds: the composer and pianist Alexandre Saada and the vocalist and flutist Clotilde Rullaud. Six years after their acclaimed first album, A Woman’s Journey, the duo releases its second album, Eastern Spring. Although this new album pays homage to the militant Middle Eastern pop of the 1960s-1970s – all gems, though most are unknown in the West – one recognises certain intonations of the previous album, which was devoted to the leading politically-aware songstresses of the American canon.

Duoya

Duoya is the funky brainchild of Gustav Horneij and Dimitrios Karatzios. The two met through a shared obsession with jazz vinyl and later started jamming, eventually forming Organic Pulse Ensemble together. While that band in time would turn into a one man venture, their creative chemistry was still there when they decided to start sending recordings and song sketches back and forth during the spring of 2020. The resulting record is a socially distanced synthastic funk record. It draws from a wide variety of inspirations but mostly, it's based around the idea that anything goes as long as it's funky.
