Four albums to discover this week: from Emilie Mayer to Grand Corps Malade
The World presents a selection of four musical releases, ranging from 19th-century symphonic works to contemporary slam poetry.

The newspaper Le Monde published, in its September 18, 2026 edition, a selection of four albums worth discovering. This feature highlights symphonic works by German composer Emilie Mayer as well as a new release from French slam artist Grand Corps Malade.
According to the publication, two other releases also deserve the attention of listeners this week. These include the "captivating melodies" of singer and guitarist Jean Felzine, as well as ten new tracks from London-based group Ibibio Sound Machine.
Le Monde does not elaborate further on the content of these four albums in the published excerpt, limiting itself to a brief presentation of the artists and their respective musical worlds, which range from 19th-century classical compositions to contemporary sounds blending slam poetry, song, and electronic music.
This selection is part of a regular column in the daily newspaper devoted to music news, without any additional details being provided about the release dates or precise content of these different projects.
