Nouvelle Vague
Couleurs sur Paris, the new Nouvelle Vague album is out now in France and Belgium (should be out in Europe and overseas next week, god willin’), and it’s a beauty! I haven’t been that enthusiastic in the past about NV, because the concept stopped working after the second album. For me. But this time, Marc and the girls (and a few guys) really really outdid themselves. French new wave hits from the 80s worked over by the creme de la creme of les filles fragiles of today, why didn’t I think of that?! I’m sooo happy that Coeur de Pirate, Jeanne Cherhal, Olivia Ruiz and of course our guardian angel Coralie Clément are on board. CC’s version of Taxi Girl‘s Je suis déjà partie (video) is amazing.
I’ve posted about the 4th NV-album before. See tracklist here. Here you can find a zip with all the original versions.
The original is by Indochine, if you have the Kingspins album with the song on it you can see they credit the original writers.
Hey!, ça va?
I was checking the playlist and I found ‘L’aventurier’. I always tought that the original song was by The Kingpins (www.myspace.com/theoneandonlykingpins), and that Indochine hade covered it.
Am I wrong?
Keep rocking!
