Durand Jones & the Indications make the paradox of contemporary retro soul work. On their third album "Private Space" the band reveals more of their musical style and spreads messages of love. We spoke to Durand Jones and Aaron Frazer about growing from a college band into full-time musicians, the meaning of privacy, and love.
The debut record by the singer and producer Sabrina Bellaouel explores her Algerian-French identity, and crafts personal memories into emotive songs. From euphoric pop to heavy techno-inspired house, singer-songwriter meets electronic distortion, "Al Hadr" is a chameleon of a record. This week, Sabrina shares insight into her influences and the formative aesthetic of Algerian music.
