FS Rerun: Els & Daan
Many visitors wrote guestposts for FillesSourires, this one’s from Joachim from 2005:
The first time I heard this song was in the Belgian movie Meisje. I liked it a lot but somehow forgot about it. Until I heard it on the radio – on that moment I was sure I knew that song all of my life. Wrong! Belgian artist Daan (of Dead Man Ray-fame)made this track in 2002. You can find it on the bonus-cd of Bridge Burner (2003) and now on the excellent cd Cinema (2006).

Jamais Neutral is sophisticated lightweight pop-with-synthesizers which sounds as if Lio (or Vanessa Paradis or…) had been given a song by Gainsbourg and then produced by Telex. Quel craftsmanship! Incredible, too, how well Dottermans (one of Belgium’s top actresses) performs.’

Reruns rule! Apparently I wasn’t that regular at FS back in 2005. Brilliant track, pleased to meet it.
Pity she didn’t do more music than this. (Or did she?)
