Gaetane Abrial


Who needs a stagename if you're called Gaetane Abrial, eh? Her debutalbum Cheyenne Song (just out) has it's moments - not when she's travelling through Katie Melua-territory, mind you, but when the dobro comes into play (courtesy of Jeffrey Pevar, who worked with David Crosby and Ray Charles) for instance. Or when she's channeling Gainsbourg, in Initials DD. Don't know who sings the male part, could be mixer Dominique Blanc Francard, who worked with SG, and Jane Birkin. (I stand corrected, see comments!)

Gaetane Abrial - Initials DD

  1. The male mart of Initials DD is singing by André Manoukian, aka Dédé (DD) Manoukian since is one of the juror in the french version of American Idol where Gaetane Abrial was discoverred. André Manoukian writed the music of Cheyenne Song.
    He's also known because he has written a lot of songs for the french singer Liane Foly.
