You know what they say about people who have a little gap between their front teeth: they're very musical people. Take Vanessa Paradis. Take Rob de Nijs. And take the young (20) singer from Reims, Lisa Portelli. The blondine looks like VP a little, she sounds like Blossom Dearie a little and likes Syd Barrett and bossanova a lot. I adore her young, but wise sounding vocals, the excellent guitarplaying and the intimiste atmosphere of her songs. Like they say here: Derrière ce patronyme au sourire angélique se cache une jeune auteur-compositrice fertile dont les chansons révèlent un caractère bien trempé.

Almost like a French PJ Harvey. Or do I offend PJ or Lisa now. Talented girl. I'd like to already count her in for Filles Fragiles II ;-)
