New kid on the block: Emily Loizeau. I agree with the way RFI Musique describes her: "Une douceur voilée de mélancolie, un mélange singulier de sourire et de peine". On point: veiled melancholy and a particular mix of smiles and sorrow. Emily is the first French artist on the Fargo label, on her piano-driven album she sings in English and French. There are two duets, with violinist-extraordinaire Andrew Bird and Franck Monnet. Emily's voice is a little reminiscent of Shivaree's Ambrosia and Blossom Dearie, her music refers to seventies singer-songwriters and cabaret - there are some instrumental piano-ditties. Her first album L'Autre Bout du Monde is very gentle, intimate and sweet. Emily is a very promising fille sourire.

Glad to be of service. All links are good now.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks for posting these tracks - I've heard great things about her!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm a longtime Andrew Bird fan - he is brilliantly talented - and he seeems to compliment Emily Loseaux very well.
Aw, the links don't work for me!
