Not sure if many people remember the Mighty Bop remixes of French pop star Zazie in the mid-90s. This reminds me of the feeling of those tunes, but with a 2019 mellow trap groove perfect for the French-Algerian singer (from The Hop) to do her thing.

lyrics

J’essaie d’y arriver pour nous
J’aimerais simplement que t’ailles au bout
L’temps presse si tu n’veux pas que je m’essouffle
Appelle dès que t’es sûr de nous

Tu vois pour moi tout est clair
J’arrive au bout, j’ai bien mieux à faire
Tu crois que je me venge du passé c’est étrange
Dans ta tête tout se mélange
Tu es si méprisant
T’aurais dû moins m’parler (t’aurais dû rien promettre)
Comme tu le fais sans arrêt
Puis en un éclair
Tu disparais, dis-moi où est l’intérêt?

J’essaie d’y arriver pour nous
J’aimerais simplement que tu ailles au bout
Le temps presse si tu ne veux pas que je m’essouffle
Appelle dès que tu es sûr de nous

Franchement
Dis moi si ça en vaut la peine
De croire que ça va un jour marcher
J’sais pas si ça en vaut peine
C’est pas faute de vouloir essayer

J’essaie d’être rationnelle
J’arrête pas d’y penser
Mais j’essaie quand même

J’essaie d’y arriver pour nous
J’aimerais simplement que tu ailles au bout
Le temps presse si tu ne veux pas que je m’essouffle
Appelle dès que tu es sure de nous

Edge: Allo, j’ai réfléchi. Vas-y viens on arrête…

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
