Alizée (and more)


These are busy, and expensive times dear Filles-fans. A lot of new albums by our favourites are coming up - Alizée being one of them. Yes, the girl who saw her Moi...Lolita was recently covered by Julien Doré, is back! In October Psychédélices is released, first single Mademoiselle Juliette is out now. Also, album track Fifty/Sixty (she namechecks Lou Reed in this) is leaked, there are even unofficial YouTube-clips. Very fierce tracks, she changed record companies, and toughened herself up as well. This fanpage has all the details.

Already released: Alors Quoi by Marie Cherrier. Folky, jazzy, vaudeville-y, that lovely girlie voice, what's not to like?

Via Dusty Groove, I found out that Universal re-released L'Amour a la Papa from 1967, a compilation featuring (older) songs by Serge, Juliette Greco and Alain Goraguer. With a really sexy sleeve!

I already posted one of the bonustracks on Biolay's Trash YeYe album (here), and now the other one. Les Séparés is also a brilliant cover, based on a poem by Marceline Desbordes-Valmore and made famous by Julien Clerc. He sung it together with Isabelle Boulay on her Du Temps Pour Toi album (2005)

    Hello

    Thank you ever so much for your infatigable work of spreading the good news! There are surely much more fans as I am: people who enjoy each of your posts and who hardly ever leave a note.

    Well, I wouldn't have done so, either, if the last link wasn't a bit wrong (I get a second of applause, which, I must admit, is a bit too little to get an idea of the whole sing...). But then I wouldn't have written you to thank you if this problem hadn't arrived, would I?

    Daniel
