Double LP version. 2+ is the third album of DjeuhDjoah & Lieutenant Nicholson. A new sound stopover in their funky trip since their beginning with T'es Qui? album in 2015 (HC 034CD). This new building stone prolong their critically acclaimed album Aimez Ces Airs released in 2019 (HC 061CD/LP). Aimez Ces Airs De Plus loves this theme again, that's exactly what the two sidekicks want to present with their diptych. What's new? 15 tracks, eclectic, soft, deep, and funky, where electro, soul even Afrobeat touches, or bossa nova live together harmoniously. DjeuhDjoah & Lieutenant Nicholson make praise of slowness "Pas si vite"), address environmental issues on ("Coeur béton"), social statements on ("Police", "Raie publiques", "Clic" and the social media addiction), childhood on ("Bola Mba"), the post-colonial relation between Africa and the other continents. Love is also really well presented ("Thé à la menthe", "Ping Pong") and why not sailing to Essaouira in Morocco; During the summer of 2020, when the French National Radio asked them to perform a live cover, the French funky duo chose the famous "Né quelque part" by Maxime Leforestier released in 1987. Their suave interpretaion, haunting beat, and spatial and languid atmosphere give a fantastic tribute to this beautiful melody and strong lyrics. They found a very intimate link with chorus in Zulu, harking back to the strong connection they made with South Africa during their last tour. It became clear that they needed to put this track on their new album, as their now club remix classic "Bwe Dlo" performed with their friend David Walters. After their tour in South Africa, they met Cool Affair the musician and electro house producer in Johannesburg who made a beautiful remix of "Aimé Césaire" which close perfectly this new opus. Recorded at "Le triangle des Bermudes" the home studio of Lieutenant Nicholson, produced and mixed by him with a electro analog sound dear to them. Horns, live drums, percussions, and vocal choir were recorded at Bastille village at the label basement, even during the pandemic. On 2+, you can also hear the swirls of Antoine Berjeaut at the trumpet and bugle, magic keys from Florian Pellissier, two new flagships of the French jazz scene. Once again, DjeuhDjoah & Lieutenant Nicholson push the boundaries of the traditional "French song" to make the world dance. They want to keep their international audience, from Australia, Japan, USA, South Africa to name a few of the dancefloors around the world that will ignite with this new album. The French touch will still shine.

Double LP version. The French-Afropean duo is back with a new funky masterpiece album, Aimez Ces Airs. DjeuhDjoah & Lieutenant Nicholson are French composers and Afro-soul singers. The duo is creating a new vibe with French sounds and mixing it with jazz, Afrobeat, electronic, and soul. T'es Qui? (HC 034CD, 2015) was their first album released in 2015 and re-released a year later under the name Remets T'es Qui? (HC 044CD/LP, 2016). It was result of an intense collaboration that has lasted many years, on stage and in the studio. They call their music "Afropean songs", a collection of jazzy-pop melodies, Afro-soul, and funk arrangements. This album has 15 songs and features a tribute to the famous poet Aimé Césaire on the title. The Antilles are also honored with creole lyrics, and if you listen carefully -- you'll hear them distilled within the album. La Montagne Pelée's eruption in 1902 is evoked under the prism of August Cyparis, one of the three survivors. The rhythms are tight and focused, with some Antilles, but also Detroit elements thrown in, accompanied with a strong horns section, vibraphone, and analog drums. There are lots of echoes from the era of jazz funk and the lyrical French mode, mixed with some slightly warmer currents that show their wider love of modern funk and eclectic tastes. It is a unique sound, an original recipe, using French wordplay with a universal message. In the summer of 2018, they presented the now critically acclaimed first single "El Nino" (HC 057EP), an Afro-funk gem about climate change, and "Fontaine", an Afro hit with a great combination of analog take and electronic dancefloor ingredients. With massive support from national radios and prestigious international DJs such as Gilles Peterson, Aimez Ces Airs could be one of the top funky albums of 2019. Cover designed by the artist Felix. Mastered by DJ Vas.

DjeuhDjoah & Lieutenant Nicholson is a French composer's and an Afro-soul singer's duo. T'es Qui ? (HC 034CD, 2015) , their first album, was a fruit of an intense collaboration during many years on stage and in studio. They call their music "Afropean songs" - a collection of jazzy-pop melodies, Afro-soul and funk arrangements. The two singers pervade you with an invitation to travel, but also to knowledge and thought, where girls, politics, celestial bodies, Africa, Cameroon, West Indies and their entire family heritage, take a place of honor. Brainstorming and moving toe is the delicious moment you'll get, when listening to their songs. DjeuhDjoah & Lieutenant Nicholson have a real and unique way to build and write their songs, a mix of conscious and poetics lyrics, with natural and strong harmonies. The album was recorded between "The Bermuda Triangle", Lieutenant Nicholson's home-studio in Paris, Mato Production's studio for the rhythm section, and mastered by DJ Vas. 12 original songs recorded live with Honky Tonk Man on bass, Jeff Ludovicus on drums, and Ours, famous French singer came as featuring on the Jazzy song called "Goujat". Remets T'es Qui? will blow a real fresh wind on the French musical scene. Includes an unreleased track called "Banale Histoire".

DjeuhDjoah & Lieutenant Nicholson is a French composer-and-Afro-soul-singer duo. T'es Qui? is their debut album, the fruit of an intense collaboration of many years, both live and in-studio. They call their music "Afropéan," a collection of jazzy-pop melodies and Afro-soul and funk arrangements. The two singers evoke knowledge and thought, where girls, politics, celestial bodies, Africa, Cameroon, the West Indies, and their entire family heritage take a place of honor. Both cerebral and physical. These songs are a mix of conscious, poetic lyrics and natural, strong harmonies. The album was recorded at The Bermuda Triangle (Lieutenant Nicholson's home-studio in Paris), with the rhythm section recorded at Mato Production's studio, and mastered by DJ Vas. Twelve original songs recorded live with Honky Tonk Man on bass, Jeff Ludovicus on drums, and the French singer-songwriter Ours on the jazzy "Goujat."
