    Artist & Song Information

    Thievery Corporation is an American electronic music duo known for their downtempo, eclectic sound that incorporates a variety of influences from dub, reggae, Indian classical, Middle Eastern, and bossa nova. 

    "Sweet Tides" was released on September 20th, 2008 as part of their fifth studio album Radio Retaliation. The album itself marked a shift towards a more global sound and was well-received for its social and political commentary, though "Sweet Tides" stands out as one of the more melodic, introspective tracks. 

    "Decollage" is featured on Thievery Corporation’s, 2014 album Saudade. This album marks a distinct shift in their musical direction towards a more focused exploration of bossa nova and the broader spectrum of Brazilian music. "Saudade" itself is a Portuguese word that refers to a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves.

    "Un Simple Histoire" appears on their third studio album, The Richest Man in Babylon, released in 2002. The song is a downtempo track with French vocals, embodying the duo's signature blend of world music influences with electronic beats. Its soothing melody and atmospheric soundscapes are typical of Thievery Corporation's style, making it a standout track for fans of the chill-out genre.
