THE DUO ‘ENTRÉE LIBRE’ RELEASES “CORPS À CORPS”, A PROMISING SINGLE FROM THEIR INCOMING EP

Entrée Libre is a Parisian duo born in 2019, built on the friendship between two childhood friends, Emmanuel Jarrige and Ludovic Bailly. From their first covers of Paul McCartney to the lockdown spent together in Burgundy, Emmanuel and Ludovic have never left each other. In March 2020, they decided to record the music they love, far from the pressure of Paris, in the middle of the vineyards. The lyrics, in French, are tinged by this strange time of the pandemic, between personal experiences and fiction. One can detect influences of Flavien Berger’s perched elegance, Mac DeMarco’s genial resourcefulness, or LCD Soundsystem’s energetic contrasts. After “L’air du temps” and “Dehors”, they released the single “Aller Simple” in October 2021. A disco-retro trip between Blondie, La Femme, and Parcels. The crazy video clip depicts a summer with the duo, between beach planes and outlet parties, after a winter spent in a closing world.

A few days before the release of their first EP “Avant- Première”, the duo Entrée Libre unveils the single “Corps à corps”: so-British rock energy, combined with a global good mood worthy of Marc Rebillet, which gives an irresistible desire to move. The funk and electro influence hovers not far from the sharp guitar riffs, the groovy bass lines, and the lyrics narrating the movements of bodies approaching and then repelling each other. The single has a rather precise goal: to make people dance like a “corps à corps désaccordé”.

Jeff Hodges delivers a reflection of life and meaning with “I Believe”

Jeff Hodges’ latest release, “I Believe,” is a tender Americana and country-leaning ballad that embraces the simplicity, honesty, and emotional clarity of a warm and reflective space. The song feels timeless with a grounded authenticity built on influences that sound like Zach Bryan, Chris Stapleton, and Leon Bridges.

The first notes of “I Believe” are soft and calm. The performance is purposeful as a slow-burning arrangement that feels like open roads, quiet mornings, and moments of pause in an otherwise fast-moving world, with a soundscape of soft acoustic textures and subtle country instrumentation. Jeff Hodges speaks in a natural, authentic voice. His tone is warm, measured, and full of feeling.

The song is about peace, gratitude, and finding meaning in the ordinary. It’s searching for little intimate truths, such as the gift of presence, the significance of relationships, and the beauty of the everyday. “I Believe” is a testament to Jeff Hodges as an artist dedicated to honest, emotion-driven storytelling. It’s a song that just asks us to slow down, breathe, and remember what’s important.

With “CLAIM IT ALL,” X-ANONYMOUS takes us on a dark journey through control, chaos, and rebirth

X-ANONYMOUS is back with a blistering new release, “CLAIM IT ALL,“ a hard rock and metalcore smackdown that takes intensity, emotion, and aggression and blasts them into a tightly controlled tempest of sound. It is a combination of guitar riffs, industrial textures, and unrelenting rhythmic drive.

It explodes, launching you into a fractured psychological space where the self is always challenged and reinvented. “CLAIM IT ALL” is about the struggle between self-control and external control. The song encapsulates the crushing burden of manipulation and coercion, creating a terrain in which the mind is a battleground. Every change appears to have a reason, mirroring a spiral into internal chaos and the attempt to slowly regain individual strength.

There’s an emotional undercurrent that suggests awakening, and it tempers the aggression of the instrumentation. It is as though a constant tug and pull exists between collapse and control, as if the track itself were trying to get away from its own limitations. X-ANONYMOUS’s powerful statement is bold, unfiltered, and unafraid to face the darkness to rise above it. “CLAIM IT ALL“ It’s a reminder of how identity always fights back when it’s repressed.
