Mademoiselle Nineteen
I can almost hear you frown: this FransS guy falls in love too easily. Two weeks ago I declared my love to Soko, and now to yet another darling. My love for Mademoiselle Nineteen’s album. We already spotted Juliette Wathieu (as her real name is) some time ago, and recently saw her sweet video of “Quelle Importance“, and her first album “Mademoiselle Nineteen” (highly original) is just out.
The album has the atmosphere we like: great voice, to-the-point-songs, lot of sixties references but it certainly doesn’t sound like a retro copycat. Maybe it is better to state that this is how France Gall would’ve sounded if she wasn’t born in ’47 but in ’91, as Mademoiselle Nineteen is.
Some songs have a 70s vibe, like “Je danse dans le noir” (although it includes a wonderful sixties organ).
And of course if you sang backing vocals for Lio, you always get extra points from the FS headquarters!
Mademoiselle Nineteen – Je danse dans le noir
BTW, the album is temporarily sold out via the Freaksville shop. Should be available again in a week
What website is that, Madison?
Listened to the album on the Freaksville site – want, want, want!!!! Malheuresment, digital download not available this side of the pond 🙁 So had to make do with Fanny Bloom’s “Apprentie guerriere” – now that’s a seriously good album… I think it’s going to be l’annee quebecoise 🙂
Hi, I came across your site and wasn’t able to get an email address to contact you. Would you please consider adding a link to my website on your page. Please email me back.
Thanks!
Madison
