Biolay, Miossec

We have to wait until September before Benjamin Biolay's new album Trash YeYe will be released, unfortunately. I read that apart from his soloalbum, he also works with a band featuring Ambrosia from Shivaree. Could be real nice. First Trash YeYe-single Dans La Merco Benz is already out, and sounds very promising. Ben's trademark whispery voice, the smokey atmosphere, country-noir music; this is why I love this guy. From the recent La Musique du Moment-compilation, here's his duet with Françoise Hardy as well.


Charline Rose has a new album out, her second which is called A Genoux.. It features some interesting collaborations. One's a duet with French rockveteran Christophe Miossec, who sounds very much like Biolay in this song. The other is the remix fellow countryman Alex Callier (from Hooverphonic) made from Une Seule Erreur Suffit. Charline's sweet voice fits his quasi-fifties torchsong very nicely.
