Contrary to the title of her new album, Alicia Moffet isn’t afraid of big emotions, and she wants fans to feel the whole range when they listen to her latest songs. The 26-year-old chanteuse released her third studio album, No, I’m Not Crying, on May 30. Moffet’s newest LP is the most confident and ambitious project to date for a singer who’s come a long way from her teenage years coming up through reality shows like The Next Star and La Voix during the 2010s.

Your Piknic Électronik 2025 season previewI love electronic music. A lot. At the age of nine, I asked my dad to buy me the CD of Daft Punk’s Discovery, which had recently come out at that time.

After Lucy Dacus reached new commercial heights with Boygenius in 2023, her fourth album Forever Is a Feeling comes complete with a Hozier duet (“Bullseye”) and themes about her feelings for Boygenius’s Julien Baker. Some songs are more potent than others, but “Ankles,” “Best Guess” and closer “Lost Time” are all sterling examples of her effortless knack for frank, earnest storytelling.
