Pascale

Does the name Mikado ring any bell? This French groupe had a couple of hitsingles in the eighties, and Pascale Borel was their singer. I first heard of Mikado while googling on Pascale - where they any good? In 2005 Pascale made an album for the Pschent-label (best known for their Hotel Costes-compilations), on which she displays her rather thin, but very suggestive voice. For some reason I get pictures of French maids in full oh-la-la-mode - listen to Pascale's coverversion of Madonna's Into The Groove, you'll get the picture. A good selfpenned song off of the album is Ne Crie Plus.

  2. On her record with Mikado, she covered Attends ou va-t-en, long before Gainsbourg was being regarded as a genius by anglo-saxons

  3. Listen and listen carefully. I shall say this only once: this is better than The fallen Madonna with the big boobies.

  4. Hi Guuzbourg,
    Here a list of Filles Sourires, I think, you don't have yet :
    Olivia Ruiz (Her second album "Femme Chocolat" really good),
    Anaïs ("The Cheap show" made on a great show on tv last week during the French music awards),
    Pham Quynh Anh (a vietnamese girl singing a Marc Lavoine's song).
