With their dulcet fusion of \u201860s French ye-ye pop, slinky Studio One reggae, and liminal Brazilian tropicalia, Claude Fontaine\u2019s songs embody the best kept dreams of a globally connected world. The second album from the Los Angeles artist reflects the dream of creating the soundtrack for this utopia by the sea. Released on Innovative Leisure, La Mer is a mesmerizing portal. It\u2019s impossible for it to exist outside of the modern moment, but it floats on the gilded dust of the past. At times, Fontaine channels Jane Birkin as backed by Jorge Ben. Francois Hardy locked into sonic reverie with Mulatu Astatke, or Margo Guryan making lovers rock. None of this is a happy accident. For her second opus, Fontaine assembled some of the most gifted musicians of the last five decades. First and foremost is her co-writer and producer, the multi-platinum Grammy-Award winning Lester Mendez, whose resume includes everyone from Grace Jones and Baaba Maal to Shakira and Nelly Furtado. As with Fontaine\u2019s self-titled first album, the legendary Tony Chin appears on guitar, bringing the orphic tones expected from someone who has played with some of the greatest reggae musicians of all-time (King Tubby, Dennis Brown, Lee Perry, Jackie Mittoo, Max Romeo, Sly & Robbie). On bass, there\u2019s Ronnie McQueen, one of the co-founders of Steel Pulse. Sergio Mendes\u2019 percussionist, Gibi Dos Santos, supplies propulsive locomotion. So does Ziggy Marley\u2019s drummer, Rock Deadrick. And that\u2019s just the abridged list of storied instrumentalists who appear on La Mer. . 1. Vaqueiro 2. Love The Way You Love 3.
