Destins et Desires

When something is euro-, be it eurohouse, eurotrash, euroshopper, it's usually not a stamp of quality. Euro Groove is a compilation from worldmusic-label Putumayo, and I don't think their marketing people thought that title through and through. They also released a Euro Lounge-cd, that wasn't that great either. Anyhoo, as is always the case with these mixed bags, there are some nuggets. Like Destins et Désirs, by Lebanese producer Toufic Farroukh and French singer Jeanne Added. The latter is a big jazz name, and also active in the theatrical world. The song is loungey with lush strings (a plus in my book), but a fairly old beat. But on a sunny day like we're having right now in AMS, it's nice.
