Three new tracks

'Un Tacle De Patrick Vieira N'est Pas Une Truite En Chocolat'. There's only one French singer who can come up with such a songtitle, and that's Vincent Delerm. The lazy-voiced singer disappointed with his cover-collection Favourite Songs, but is back with a vengeance with a couple of beautifully arranged tracks on his new cd Quinze Chansons. I have little info on the album (French bio here), so my guess on who sings the female part on Et François De Roubaix Dans Le Dos is as good as yours (Jeanne Cherhal?). More on Francois de Roubaix here.

Is it safe to call La Vie d'Aline the French answer to The Indigo Girls? Don't know about their sexual preferences, but the music of Brigitte and Sophie is very much in tune with their overseas collegues: folky, country-ish, tender. A tip for FS-readers who like their performers a bit grown-up.

A few posts back I told you about Angel Corpus Christi; Zaza Fournier is a French singer who also likes to add a lot of accordion to her songs, 'cause it's a fun, sexy and strong instrument. She is not afraid to sound kitsch-y, which is a big plus. A fan of Edith P. and Elvis P., she reminds me at times of Elli Medeiros. Must be great to see here live, in a velvet-lined cabaret. See video here.
