MusicFirst LookListen to a new mix from avant-pop artist Petite MellerThe enigmatic French singer guides us through her psyche with a mix to dance and cry toShareLink copied ✔️August 8, 2014MusicFirst LookTextAlim KherajPhotographyEddie Chacon Like her vivid current single "NYC Time", Petite Meller’s jazz-infused pop is excitingly transportable, and this mix is a journey through her life. Whether it’s the blipping reimagining of Whitney Houston by French DJ/Producer Marlin or the appropriation of her own music by Betablock3rs and K.R.O.S.S., Meller keenly shows off her collaborators’ lasting impressions. We get a little Gallic with Brigitte Bardot’s "Moi Je Joue" and Cassius’ "Toop Toop", zip to the jubilant sax of Klingande, before emotions are scattered and sparkling with the warming androgynous disco of Shamir. Dive into the singer’s enthralling moods and influences – in her own words: “you are welcome to dance and cry with me.” Tracklist: Marlin – "Whitney"Shamir – "I'll Never Be Able To Love"K.R.O.S.S- "NYC Time Remix"Klingande – "Jubel"Ladysmith Black Mambazo – "Hello My Baby "Brigitte Bardot – "Moi Je Joue"Claude François – "Je vais à Rio"Betablocker – "NYC Time Remix"Surkin – "Oedo 606"Cassius – "Toop Toop"Marlin – "Backpack Remix"Gigliola Cinqueti – "No no le ta"Benjamin Clementine – "Cornerstone" "NYC Time" is out on August 18 on Night Beach Records Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MOREBloodz Boi: The humble godfather of Chinese underground rapA rare interview with POiSON GiRL FRiEND, dream pop’s future seerNigeria’s Blaqbonez is rapping to ‘beat his high score’Inside Erika de Casier’s shimmering R&B universe ‘Rap saved my life’: A hazy conversation with MIKE and Earl Sweatshirt7 essential albums by the SoulquariansIs AI really the future of music?The KPop Demon Hunters directors on fan theories and a potential sequelplaybody: The club night bringing connection back to the dancefloorAn interview with IC3PEAK, the band Putin couldn’t silenceFrost Children answer the dA-Zed quizThe 5 best features from PinkPantheress’ new remix album
