Ultra Orange is a duo (Pierre and Gil) who were once dubbed 'the French Garbage', not because they were trash, but because their electronica+guitar-sound was reminiscent of the band Garbage (Shirley Manson, remember?). I'd say they were a lesser known Rinôçerôse - but then again, how big was this electronica+guitar-duo? Anyhoo, Ultra Orange teamed up with actress Emmanuelle Seigner for an album that was released earlier this year. I've posted songs by Seigner (and her sister) before - on the soundtrack to Backstage she didn't prove that her voice is her best feature. The same can be said about Ultra Orange + Emmanuelle. Sing Sing is a pretty nice popsong (with a video directed by J-B Mondino), though, and Rosemary's Lullaby a cinematic ode to Roman Polanski, Emmanuelle's hubby and director of the classic Rosemary's Baby. Maybe to please the international market, all songs by UO+E are in English, but Ultra Orange did some French songs on one of their earlier albums. Gil has a much nicer, much fillessourires-fitting voice than Emmanuelle, don't you think?

Very good, thanks.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYou are wrong. The whole album is pure rock'n'roll. And in rock music there are things far more important than "nice voice". Don't you think? Over.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenfor rock'n roll you might be right. when it comes to girls and their voices on this blog, you're dead wrong.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenPlease, somebody help me. I'm searching the backstage soundtrack where Emmanuelle Seigner plays the character of Lauren Waks. Where can I download it? The cd is out of market and i'm dying to get it.
