Loane
Loane is back! And she brought a truckload of synths and beats. New single Rien de Commun has indeed nothing in common with the acoustic atmosphere on her debut. She’s in sync with Poney Express, who did almost the same thing. Loane got help from guys who worked with Air and Tahiti Boy, which makes sense when you hear the single. The album will be released on May 16, is called Le Lendemain and from what I heard contains some very strong songs. I’ve posted several duets Loane did (remember that beautiful INXS-cover?), I recently discovered she did a track with William Fitzsimmons, a bearded singer-songwriter who sounds like velvet but looks like a cult leader. Nice one.
Loane – Rien de commun
William Fitzsimmons & Loane – I don’t feel it anymore
That’s a very funny but accurate description of William Fitzsimmons. He reminds me a bit of Iron & Wine (also bearded). Both are terrific.
It’s growing on me.
I’m liking the new direction. But will be hard pushed to match “Contre toi” from her first album. Looking forward to finding out if she up to it.
