This morning, we fly away, we take to the open sea, to faraway places where the heat reigns supreme. We’re not alone to accompany us on this journey, it’s in good company with the Bleu Toucan group that we’re going to have a good time.

Bleu Toucan, here is not a species of bird living in South America (although it does exist) but a music band. This Parisian duo composed of Léo and Manu unveils a French pop music where emotions are king and joy spreads in profusion.

Bleu Toucan’s selection

Sébastien Tellier – Love

Bleu Toucan: A sweet instrumental music, just to make your mind feel good. Wake him up with no rush, with love and kindness. It extend that cocoon feeling you have when you are in your bed under the blanket, and brings a positive wave.

Totaly Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs – Don’t You Forget About Me

Bleu Toucan: Another wonderful and very sweet song. TEED has a very sweet and detached voice that is extremely pleasant. A kind of nonchalance that goes very well with the morning. Then the switch song at the end of the track make it become a more groovy track that helps you finish emerging and makes you want to live something nice even on Sundays.

Benny Sings – Sunny Afternoon

Bleu Toucan: Because it looks like a ray of sunlight passing over a flight of swallows and then through the half-closed blinds to come and lick a bowl of latte on the kitchen table.

MailTape’s selection

Bleu Toucan – Le Hublot

Anaïs G: Discovered 5 years ago with their “Salade de Fruits” EP and my favorite “L’Ananas”, since this musical encounter I have never stopped following this band. Their new release, “Universalis”, takes us on an instant space trip. My favourite is “Le Hublot”, perfect for an escape.

Café Lanai – Lanai

Anaïs G: This title is a caress, a dream, something subtle, sweet. A musical meditation, allowing us to cut with the world around us and plunge into an indescribable trance!

Paradis – Hémisphère

Anaïs G: In 2014, I started listening to the Parisian band composed of Simon Mény and Pierre Rousseau, with their EP “Couleurs Primaires”. Their song “Garde le pour toi” was a musical favorite. So I got interested in this duo by listening to their old EPs, and that’s how I came across “Hémisphère”. French pop, mixed with house and deep house that sticks well to this Sunday morning playlist.

Février – La montagne

Anaïs G: It was while listening to the artists from the Profil de Face label, that Février appeared in my listening suggestions. For the arrival of rainy and cold days, the music of February is perfect to warm hearts.

That’s it for this morning! As always, thank you so much for joining us. Much love to Bleu Toucan for his Sunday selections and to Camille Célestin for this episode’s brilliant illustration.
