In this edition of our arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim chats with Franco-Cameroonian musician James BKS. He's gone from producing beats for some of the biggest stars like Snoop Dogg and will.i.am, to carving out a name for himself as a performer. Music is in his blood, with his father being the late Afro-jazz legend Manu Dibango, and James has continued his legacy by embracing his African musical roots. He's back with the EP "See Us Rise", a deeply personal and introspective record.

Award-winning British writer RJ Ellory tells us about his new novel, "The Bell Tower", which has been translated as "Everglades" in French, and why he chooses to set many of his storylines in the United States. We also discuss the golden age of cinema, the great "Noir" authors and talk about a philosophical question at the heart of his book, which deals with the use of the death penalty for convicted criminals.

In this edition of arts24, we explore a major retrospective in Paris dedicated to legendary French photographer Robert Doisneau, best known for his iconic image "Le Baiser de l'Hôtel de Ville" ("The Kiss by the Hôtel de Ville"). The exhibition celebrates his poetic vision and timeless moments captured on film.

Also in the spotlight: "The Art of the Brick", the global LEGO phenomenon by American artist Nathan Sawaya, arrives in Bordeaux after captivating audiences in New York, London and Shanghai. The imaginative sculptures bring a new dimension to the world's most famous building blocks.

Plus, the Guardian newspaper's chief film critic Peter Bradshaw joins Eve Jackson to discuss his new short story collection "The Body in the Mobile Library and Other Stories". Known for his razor-sharp wit and literary flair, Bradshaw delves into surreal tales: from a playwright's pact with Satan to a politician's daughter laundering money in Benin. He also shares his top picks for this year's Cannes Film Festival.
