Rock: Pete Doherty returns with a group
Who would have bet on Pete Doherty in 2024? Probably not those who saw him more on the front pages of the tabloids than on stage from the 2000s, between addictions, an affair with the star model Kate Moss or prison.
Powered by Doherty and his alter ego Carl Barât, the group The Libertines was initially one of the British responses to the return of rock in the early 2000s in the wake of the Americans The Strokes.
Drained by the excesses of its leader, the group imploded for the first time in 2004 after two first albums. A reformation will lead to a third album in 2015. And last year, the gang toured for the 20th anniversary of their first opus, Up the bracket.
Also in 2022, with the disc The fantasy life of poetry & crime, Doherty offered a peaceful musical return as a duo, alongside French composer Frédéric Lo.
At 44, the Briton recently gave a delightful solo concert in Paris. All the planets are aligned for the March 8 release of the Libertines’ fourth album, All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade.
Gossip, 12 years later
Less noisy but dubbed by Elton John, Declan McKenna, eternal hope of British pop, will publish his third album What happened to the beach? on February 9, already supported by the song Nothing works.
For powerful women, we will have to take into account Beth Ditto, stage beast at the head of Gossip, a disheveled trio with drummer Hannah Blilie as another centerpiece. The American group returns after 12 years of record absence with the album Real Power scheduled for March 22 and produced by Rick Rubin, mixing console guru with an incredible CV (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jay-Z, Shakira, etc.) .
Electro : reprise de Justice
Nothing has filtered out on the timing of Justice’s new album. A secret specific to Pedro Winter, former manager of Daft Punk (separated since 2021) and boss of Ed Banger, stable of this other duo, who simply formalized their reappearance on record and on stage in 2024. Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay have just revealed the first dates of their world festival tour this spring.
The rocker-looking pair have not released an album under their group name since the third studio album Woman (2016). It is the first opus of the French, decorated with their famous emblem in the shape of a cross, published in 2007, which launched their international career with the hits DANCE and Genesis.
MGMT (for Management), another duo, provided more information. Starting with two singles, Bubblegum dog and Mother nature, released as a scout for Loss of life, an album to be released on February 23. This 5th opus, successor to Little Dark Age (2018), promises baroque when listening to the first titles.
The Americans also made a name for themselves in 2007 with their inaugural album, Oracular spectacular and the hits Kids and Time to pretend. Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser have already mischievously warned that they do not want Loss of life to be reduced to the acronym “Lol” (“laugh out loud”).
“It was a relatively painless birth after a long gestation,” describe the parents in their note of intent. Note the participation of the French artist Christine and the Queens on the future song Dancing in Babylon.
Rap: RAS
In the rap sphere, it’s difficult to anticipate an event publication since surprise releases have been the norm in recent years, like Canadian megastar Drake.
After a litany of publication dates that were never met, For all the dogs appeared on October 6, the same day as the announcement of a break in his career to protect his health…
