France’s Phoenix released a new album, Ti Amo, back in June via Glassnote. Now the band have done a session for Spotify where they have recorded a cover of “Un Peu Menteur” by the French singer Christophe, from 1978. They have also recorded a live version of Ti Amo single “J-Boy.” Check out the two tracks below, followed by Christophe’s original and the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Pick up Under the Radar‘s current print issue (Summer 2017/Issue 61) to read our new interview with Phoenix about Ti Amo.

Previously Phoenix shared Ti Amo‘s first single, shiny album opener “J-Boy,” performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and shared a video for the song. They also shared a lyric video for the album’s title track, “Ti Amo,” the audio for the relaxed “Goodbye Soleil,” and a video for “Goodbye Soleil.”

Phoenix previously issued a statement about Ti Amo, saying it’s “an album about simple pure emotions: love, desire, lust and innocence, it’s also a record about our European, Latin roots, a fantasized version of Italy: a lost paradise made of eternal Roman summers (hyper-light, hyper-clarity, pistachio gelato), juke-boxes on the beach, Monica Vitti and Marcello Mastroiani, fearless desire and Antique marble statues.”

Phoenix last released an album in 2013 with Bankrupt!. Ti Amo was recorded in an old Paris opera house near the Pompidou Center. Starting in 2014 the band took over the top floor of the building that is now a museum, concert hall, and tech incubator.
