Domenique Dumont - Le Soleil Dans Le Monde

Song of the Day
Hosted by Kevin Cole
Today’s song, featured on The Afternoon Show with Kevin Cole, is "Le Soleil Dans Le Monde” by Domenique Dumont, from the 2018 album Miniatures de auto rhythm on Antinote.
WRITTEN BY JASMINE ALBERTSON

Latvian-born and Paris-based production duo Domenique Dumont released their sophomore record of Balearic pop in September, titled Miniatures De Auto Rhythm. The follow-up to 2015’s Comme Ça is a breezy, blissed-out, tropical oasis. Our Song of the Day, “Le Soleil Dans le Monde,” opens with a field recording of someone walking that evolves to a carefree samba beat overlaid with a funky synth line and hazy French vocals. Blend it all together like a frozen margarita for a perfect subsitution for summer.

Listen to “Le Soleil Dans Le Monde” below.
