Jeanne


L'Eau, the third album by Jeanne Cherhal, is released in a couple of weeks. It's the follow-up to the very nice Douze Fois Par An, a kind of concept-album about modern relationships. Jeanne's first album was live and very theatrical, and although she has a good, clear voice, I'm not a big fan of cabaretesque music. L'Eau is more to my liking, with upbeat songs and beautiful ballads. Jeanne, who as a young girl dreamed of being a ballet dancer, started playing the piano at 12. She toured with various rockbands and worked with Albin de la Simone (her boyfriend), Thomas Fersen and even Georges Moustaki. Last year she also released a concert-dvd, recorded at the Cigale-theater.

  1. I love Jeanne Cherhal! Her second release I picked up in Paris almost 2 years ago...Can't wait to hear the new one...

  2. The album title is Douze fois par an, not Douze ans par fois. The Song Douze fois par an is about a girl with very harmful periods...

  3. Painful, not harmful (I've got a painful headache right now...)

  4. I LOVE your blog!
    There seems to be something wrong with the 'Douze Fois Par An' file when downloading it (several attempts) from SendMe. Any chance of re-posting it elsewhere? The first minute or so sounds very promising.

  5. Hey, anonymous, you'll never get anything through Sendmefile. I've got a better idea, if you like Jeanne Cherhal, just buy her album.

  7. "douze fois par an" is a song about periods. Same thing with "du sang sur le dancefloor" by french hip hop band TTC. Thought I had to tell you. Nice blog.
