Melissa & Pascal

Although he himself started out in the nineties, the nineteen-eighties were formative for singer Pascal Obispo. He hails from the South West of France, but was raised in Rennes, also stomping ground of eighties-stars like Etienne Daho and Niagara. As an ode to the new wave, electro and other musical genres of the eighties he recorded 1980 (with hints of New Order and Corey Hart's Sunglasses at Night), en duo with FS-favourite Melissa Mars (pictured). I was under the impression that petite Melissa was already a genuine star in France, but if you look at this clip, you see that Pascal has to introduce his shortshort-skirted co-star. Melissa made two albums so far, second cd Reine des Abeilles was re-released this year. She is like a dark-haired, gothic version of Vanessa Paradis. If you look at this clip, you can see is just as sexy.

Melissa also did a very, ehm, muscular duet with Lara Fabian (first and last time I'll post something by Lara, promise)
