Parisian duo Papooz blend French folk-pop and American rock on album ‘Resonate’ • FRANCE 24

In this edition of our arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim chats with one half of French duo Papooz, Ulysse Cottin, as the pair drop their fourth studio album “Resonate”. It’s a record full of euphoric sounds and melancholic lyrics, for which they enlisted the help of American songwriter Jesse Harris and superstar producer Patrick Wimberly. Ulysse and Armand first met after a chance encounter waiting in line at a Patti Smith concert. Unsurprisingly then, their music is steeped full of classic sounds, from the Beatles to the Beach Boys and the Velvet Underground.
