Two singers I got to know via MySpace: Carole Masseport and Juliette Clement, aka Mamzelle Juliette. Both are from Paris, both are at the start of their career (Juliette did play in some bands before), but that's where the similarities stop. Carole Masseport, who has an album out, sings with a low, stern, almost gothic voice. Blottie, the song posted below, has a modern fado-ish feel (think Madredeus), very intense, and builds like a bolero. Her other songs are more straightforward chansons, with added electonica. Carole's influences range between Barbara and Killing Joke. A singer to light a candle by.
Juliette Clement likes Lisa Ekdahl and Madeline Peyroux for the feeling, Gainsbourg and Coralie Clement for provocation and poetry and Fiona Apple for voice and craziness. Her delicate songs focus on her voice (sparse instrumentation) and her expression, as if she's taking the listener by the hand to guide him through the song. I sure like to take a walk with Mamzelle, how 'bout you?

Hi Guuzbourg,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'd like to say thanks for all the great introductions, and that Filles Sourires gets a mention on a little spot I did for New Jersey station WFMU. I mention your website when I introduce the Carole Masseport song. You can listen to it here:
