The musicians Marlon Magnée and Sacha Got shared memories of their first appearance in the French magazine Les Inrocks and reflected on their artistic influences. Magnée recalled a web article that harshly criticized the band La Femme, predicting they wouldn't last the year. However, three months later, the band defied that prediction. Magnée also described his first experience with Les Inrocks as attending the Inrocks Festival in 2011 or 2012, which he found "super-cool." He also remembered performing at Stereolux in Nantes for the first time and being impressed by the modern dressing rooms and the venue itself.
Sacha Got suggested two artists for the cover of Les Inrocks: Tentative and Titi. He described Tentative as a rock band led by Charlie Périllat, highlighting their unique sound and artistic vision, as well as their emotionally powerful live performances. Got called Tentative one of the few French rock bands that excites him and said they are highly promising. He also noted that Tentative recently created a musical comedy called La Fille Pharmacie, available on YouTube. Regarding Titi, Got said the artist channels the spirit of French singers from the golden age of variety, such as Charles Aznavour and Jacques Brel, but with a harder edge reminiscent of Marilyn Manson. He praised Titi's voice for its ability to shift from soft and touching melodies to powerful, flamenco-style screams. Got called Titi's recent song, Feu, a masterpiece.
Marlon Magnée suggested Sam Quealy for the cover, calling her the most fascinating artist of the last thirty years. He highlighted her talents as a rapper, dancer, and choreographer, as well as her unique style and energy. He noted that when she performs at festivals, she often wins the best concert title, and those who see her say it is the best concert of their lives.
Sacha Got said music has become more omnipresent in his life as he has aged. He mentioned constantly thinking about songs, using Shazam to identify them, and deconstructing their arrangements. He recalled thinking in his twenties that he had already listened to everything but later realized there were endless musical discoveries. He expressed growing interest in the folklore of different countries, which he explored during many travels. He described feeling alive and carried by a superior force when working with incredible musicians. He also mentioned a time when he felt drained and depressed, and listening to Rocky Road to Dublin by The Dubliners helped him recover, evoking emotions that only music can provide.
