Between Franz Ferdinand and France, it’s a love story that has lasted for 20 years. From their first album in 2004, the electric shocks fired by these Scots made the froggies want to jump out of the pond and turn up the volume with the giga tube Take Me Out.
A love story sublimated today by a baby, that of Alex Kapranos, the charismatic singer of the group with one of our most sparkling singers, Clara Luciani not to name her. A royal baby of pop, that’s for the people sequence of this column! A love that is also embodied in a magnificent duet between the parents, on an iconic title of the sixties signed Lee Hazlewood!

Franz Ferdinand has reigned over the rock planet for 20 years with more than 10 million albums sold, 2.5 billion streams to date, 14 platinum records, world tours with legendary concerts where the group never plays cheap… A success that has allowed them to rub shoulders with the entire rock elite, and even to record an album in 2015 with their idols, the Californian group Sparks.
The two groups came together to form this super group FFS with notably the song Johnny Delusionala glamorous and enchanting interlude in the rock’n’roll circus.
In 2024, Franz Ferdinand returns to the front with in his cartridge belt, a hymn to resist the ambient nihilism (Alex Kapranos had also called on the French to stand up against fascism in the last elections) a deconstructed, audacious and effective title, as these fans of constructivism and Dadaism have the secret.
