On this new joint album, JoWedin and Jean Felzine have abandoned the bubblegum or yéyé temptations of the previous opus, to make room for what, by their own admission, “gets them both on the same page” (which is rare for them): a classy soul-pop in direct line with American seventies music (think Minnie Riperton, Shuggie Otis, Carole King, but also Blondie) carried by the alternating or blended interplay of their two voices. Four-star melodies, polished pianos, funky rhythms, percussion (bongos, cabasas, vibraphone), phaser-treated guitars and synthetic strings, Jo & Jean is a stylish brew, made by the book (that is, almost live) by groove experts Adrien Durand (Bon Voyage Organisation) and Louis Sommer (Venice), with the help of top-notch musicians (Maxime Daoud on bass, Cyprien Jacquet on drums).
