Sur la plage (on the beach) feat. @thisisthekit — track 3 from « side by side »
Here, Kate Stables is the other character, singing in French, with gentleness and her lovely English accent. She is the frontwoman of This is Kit, whose albums I’ve listened to and loved for a long time. I’m always captivated by the warmth of her voice and her perfect, simple and direct phrasing. I have fond memories of last summer in the studio and the goosebumps I got listening to Kate’s takes, as she stood on the tip of her toes to deliver each line. ♥️ I’m so happy and honoured that she agreed to sing these words with me, and I was curious to ask her this question:
since the record is called « side by side », how was it from your side?
(answer in slide n°4)

Sur la plage feat. @thisisthekit — piste 3 de « side by side »
Kate Stables ici me donne la réplique, en français avec douceur et son bel accent anglais. Elle est la leadeuse du groupe This is Kit dont j’écoute et adore les disques depuis longtemps. Je suis toujours captivée par la chaleur de sa voix et son phrasé parfait, simple et direct. Je me souviens avec bonheur de l’été dernier au studio et des frissons à l’écoute des prises de Kate, qui se hissait sur la pointe des pieds pour chanter chaque phrase. ♥️ Je suis si heureuse et honorée qu’elle ait accepté de chanter ces mots-là, et j’étais curieuse de lui poser cette question :
puisque le disque s’appelle « side by side », comment l’as tu vécu de ton coté ?

« side by side » my new ep is ouuut, everywhere 🫠🥹🌊♥️
(you can listen to it via l*nk in b!o)
these are the missing jigsaw pieces, the flashbacks, flashforwards.
recorded and produced with the same core team — @josephinestephenson_ and @miketunng — in Margate 🇬🇧, these tracks come to complete the album “de l’autre côté”, while also giving us more fragments of the story: two women try to escape this mad world to live out their love.
with my guests we tackle questions of ecology, feminism and homosexuality. it is an intimate journey through the various stages and emotions entailed by a love story, guided by water, storms, tears and the sea.
I am so happy and honoured to share these songs with artists who mean so much to me. thank you sooo much to @hand.habits@shura@thisisthekit@saintsaviour et @josephinestephenson_ you are magical ⭐️
I’ll tell you more about each song very soon; in the meantime, you can start listening to them – really touched to be sharing it with you.
yours ♥️

« side by side » mon nouvel ep est sorti, vous pouvez l’écouter partout 🫠🥹🌊♥️
ce sont les pièces manquantes du puzzle, des flashbacks, des flashforwards.
enregistrés et réalisés avec la même équipe — Josephine Stephenson et Mike Lindsay — à Margate (UK), ces morceaux complètent l’album « de l’autre côté » et racontent eux aussi des fragments de l’histoire : deux femmes tentent d’échapper à ce monde devenu fou pour vivre leur histoire d’amour.
avec mes invité.e.s on aborde les questions d’écologie, de féminisme et d’homosexualité. c’est un parcours intime, un voyage à travers différentes étapes et émotions qu’induisent une histoire d’amour, guidé par l’eau, l’orage, les larmes et la mer.
je suis si heureuse et honorée de partager ces quelques chansons avec des artistes qui me touchent tant, merci infiniment à @hand.habits@shura@thisisthekit@saintsaviour et @josephinestephenson_ vous êtes magiques ⭐️
je vous en dirai plus très bientôt sur chaque chanson, en attendant vous pouvez commencer à les écouter, je suis très émue de vous les confier 🥹
à vous ♥️
