New album from Hercules & Love Affair marks shift to darker yet hopeful horizons

ENCORE! © FRANCE 24

Andy Butler has been at the helm of US nu-disco outfit Hercules And Love Affair since the mid-2000s. By the end of that decade, "Blind" had become a hit on the dancefloor but also across gyms and workout classes. The group are back this week with their first album in five years. Andy Butler popped by the FRANCE 24 studios to tell Marjorie Hache more about "In Amber", which was co-written by long-term collaborator and friend Anohni (formerly Antony and the Johnsons).

We also take a look at new music by Franco-Ethiopian trio Kutu, Senegalese singer Lass and the return of international French band Phoenix.
