Warning: prepare yourself to be blown a-fucking way.Last week I featured Olivia Ruiz, who was part of Star Ac (short for Star Academy, a French talentsearch, think American Idol), and who suffered from prejudice. Kind of the same thing happened to Elodie Frégé, who
And it just gets better: not only did she do Velours des Vierges by Serge, who wrote it for Jane's Ex-Fan de Sixties, Elodie tops that version. By a mile. Furthermore, add a duet with Biolay (Bonnie & Clyde-style), plus a press-biography written by Gilles Verlant (yes, the biographer of Serge), who says that Benjamin "met his Elodie Nelson", than there's no other option than cream in your pants. Hanky at hand?
UPDATE: The French anti-piracy bureau got in touch - I have to take these mp3's down.

See video for La Ceinture here.
Elodie was actually the winner of Star Ac' 3.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBTW, love the blog, keeps me up to date on cool music.
These new songs sound promising but Elodie already surprised me the very Fillesourires friendly "je te dis non" on her first album, sweet melody, nice strings arrangements, and a video directed by auteur Catherine Breillat.

When do Nolwen Leroy or Maud appear hear?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAlways hard for me to see the line between good (Charlotte) and bad (Lara)....
P.S.
Trouwens als je in Arnhem of Nijmegen woont raad ik Kroese aan, ze hebben een groot assortiment Franse muziek. Wellicht dat de andere winkels van Plato dat ook hebben?? www.platomania.nl
maud? you have to give me a little more than that, rené, i'm assuming you're not referring to Dutch Idol Maud. Or do ya?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBy the way: Nolwenn Leroy is a very pretty fille, but her singing style reminds me too much of Celine Dion. So Nolwenn's a nono
BeantwoordenVerwijderennice, though pretty average songs, "elodie nelson" being just a cheap pun. Star Ac is of course merde pure, and biolay must be completely fou to lend his "genius" to this little singing doll. Thanks anyway -- great blog for sure!
