"Une voix fragile accompagnée d'une guitare ou d'une orchestration sophistiquée mais toujours juste, qui démontre une volonté de s'éloigner d'une 'tradition chanson française'." Count me in! This blurb (taken from here) is a very apt description of Austine, who made an EP in 2001. Great voice, sexy atmosphere. A full album never saw the light, but she sings a sensual duet with French singer Hugo on his recently released (and recommendable) second album. I love the break, with Austine whispering.
Anyone who knows more about Austine,or has a good picture, please let me know!
Hugo & Austine - Fouille-toi:
Provided we're talking about the same Austine, she appears with two songs - including the amazing "Ce coir" (which I don't have on my computer I'm afraid) - on the compilation "Pop room" on Quince (www.quince-records.com), though it's not listed there anymore. (This album also includes a couple of songs by Notre-Dame/Ema Derton/Fleurent-Didier.) I also think there was talk of Quince releasing an Austine album; I seem to remember this because it was something I was looking forward to. Anyway, if the above-mentioned compilation is of interest, it can be purchased from Poppolar (www.poppolar.com). As for a link to a possible Austine website you might want to try searching for Orwell, Chut! and related acts seeing as they probably should be friend with Austine. Perhaps French Touche is worth checking out, too (www.frenchtouche.com, I think). Anyway, my computer seems to be hung up so I cant't check the audio file to verify whether we're talking about the same Austine. But we probably are. Roar
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI've ordered the mini-album of Austine via Amazon.fr. And I'm quite sure you're Austine is the same as the fille posted here. Good luck with yer computer.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenhandig zo, met de volledige titel erbij :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenEn laat ik je maar weer eens bedanken voor alle fijne glimlachmeisjes
Nice pick. The real title should be fouille-moi, which is still sexier!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like your blog. Quite an interesting approach to French songs.
May I suggest that you add Helena Noguerra (lio's sister) to your play list? If you don't her, you will like her (but I'm pretty sure that you know her).
Bonne continuation!

Call me crazy , but this sounds like Sade's Paradise. I could be wrong...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenTh: Helena has been featured on my blog (Oct. 5), but will appear again, no doubt
