Look what I found

Almost everyday I'm surfing past blogs and MySpace-pages, and here is what I bumped into recently.

Atlani (pictured) grew up in Marseille listening to the Arabo-Andalouse-songs her father played, and the French chansons of her mom. She has a lovely voice, and writes great popsongs. She made an album in 2001, and has new songs ready for an album to be released this year. Fille Facile has a dark eighties-wave vibe.

Gilliane Kim loves Tim Buckley, Donovan and Yves Simon, so that makes her a folky. But the enchanting Ici C'est Le Désert floats on electronic sounds, and that places her music firmly in the Here & Now. Gilliane started making music around 2000, played in various theatrical productions and released an album last year. Je Suis Venue te Dire from that album is NOT a Gainsbourg-cover, although it sure sounds like one.

Riot in Belgium is an Australian (!) dj-duo (one guy was in Cut Copy), who are all the rage in the blogosphere. They make scorching electro-house, and remixed Yelle. But for their own killer track La Musique they hired a mysterious fille called Gini. She sounds all hot 'n bothered, which is nice.
