Beck and Phoenix have just released a joint song: Odyssey, a summery and sunny pop track that mixes the voices of Thomas Mars and Beck. This sweetly haunting track is instantly reminiscent of Phoenix, with, if you listen, rhythmic hints a la Once in a Lifetime from Talking Heads.

A joint American tour

This pop song is undoubtedly a way for the American singer and the group from Versailles to promote their joint American tour of around twenty dates, aptly baptized summer odysseywhich they will start on the 1er August in Seattle and through mid-September.

Phoenix released their seventh studio album Alpha Zulu last November. Passing through the We Love Green festival in early June, where he was the headliner on Saturday, the quartet brought rapper Pusha T on stage to add a few rhymes to a medley placed at the heart of their set. For his part, Beck has not yet announced a successor to his album. Hyperspace released in 2019. But it performs on Wednesday June 28 in an acoustic version in the salons of the Hôtel de Ville in Paris as part of the Fnac Live festival.
