A lovely set of covers from a French trio of Lyon Conservatory alumni! Using everything from the traditional African marimba to instruments of their own making, they deliver fully acoustic takes on Rihanna, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Frank Ocean, and Pharrell Williams. With gorgeous readings like Pharrell's "Happy" (sample1) and Frank Ocean's "Super Rich Kids" (sample2), they elegantly strip away the major-label production to focus on the sheer beauty of the songs and melodies themselves — a very French sensibility. A secret weapon for listening and lounge sets. Perfect company for a day off, too... zzz,,, (Original Japanese text by Shhhhh)
