Fredda


It took me all morning to figure out from what song Pascal Parisot and his better half Frederique Dastrevigne took the string-part for J'aime J'aime. Ofcourse, the clue was in the title: They, by Jem. And she stole it from Swingle Singers' adaptation of Bach's Prelude in F Minor. Phew.
Toutes mes aventures, released in May, is a very good album by Fredda (Parisot produced and wrote nearly everything, together they form Radiomatic). I like Fredda's bit posh voice, the songs are well-crafted with nods to country and latin-american styles like rumba and cha-cha-cha. One of the best albums I heard this year - and 2007 is such a great year so far, with superalbums by Vanessa, Babet, Axelle and Benjamin, and albums by Pauline Croze (listen to the new single!), Melissa Mars, Amélie-Les-Crayons and (hopefully) Francoiz Breut coming up.

Fredda - J'aime J'aime
Jem - They
Swingle Singers - Prelude in F Minor
Radiomatic - Douliou Douliou St. Tropez
Pascal Parisot - Ça Alors
