En Duo: Yann & Natasha

You should know the very gifted Yann Tiersen from his soundtracks for films like Amelie Poulain and Goodbye Lenin. You might know German-born actress Natasha Régnier from films like La Vie Rêvée des Anges and Comment J'Ai Tué Mon Père (American dvd-title reads: My Father and I). She has a very tender, shy voice and looks stunning (pictured on the left). Yann and Natasha recorded two duets, one for the already mentioned George Brassens-tribute Les Oiseaux de Passage, and for Tiersens solo-album L'Absente (from 2001). Tiersen has made quite a few albums, on which he rarely sings himself. He's probably more comfortable with guest-vocalists like husky-voiced Lisa Germano, high-pitched Claire Pichet and posh-sounding Neil Hannon. Dominique A. also appears on a few songs, just as Francoiz Breut does, on a very special album with a radio session. That song, Les Forges, I'd love to hear.

  1. Suggestion:

  2. Jeanne is coming up, no worries. Marie Cherrier sounds and looks gorgeous - I've ordered the album. Whilst clicking away on Amazon.fr, I've encountered similar filles like Marie L., Marie Amelie and Elisabeth Anaïs - their songs sound good, but most of them are a bit on the bland side. What's your opinion?

  3. I've never listen to Marie L, Marie Amelie or Elisabeth Anais.
    Just know that Marie Amelie has 2 sisters who are actress (Mathilde & Emmanuelle Seigner), and Elisabeth Anais is famous as songwriter.

  4. On Gainsbourg's wiki, it is said that Elisabeth Anaïs had a song written by Gainsbourg called "Mon père un catholique", but I failed to find it on the net...
