VANESSA PARADIS - POURTANT
really i had to find an excuse to post this picture. loving the song too - it's from her least successful album 'bliss' - but i'm not sure why this was - i think it's a pretty good collection of songs. this is certainly one of her best.
MARIE LAFORET - JE N'AI RIEN APPRIS
in my recent 3 compilations: songs in the key of claudine (which can be found here) - this has to be my most favourite among the songs. it's a cover of 'both sides now' and and her voice sounds perfect.
CHRISTIE LAUME - J'AI BESOIN DE TOI
i'm sure we all know the fantastic rouge-rouge and agathe ou christie - surely ye-ye essentials? so here's another i know you'll enjoy - taken from her very first e.p.
CLOETTA PARIS - BROKEN HEART TANGO
i can't believe i have only just discovered her! i was familiar with her song 'i miss you,someone' from a johan agebjorn mixtape (i think) but i had no idea about her wonderful album 'secret eyes' so massive thanks to scandipop for properly introducing her to me.
if you love sally shapiro, johan agebjorn, valerie dore and italo disco then you will absolutely love this. i can't recommend the album enough - check it out
MARIE-CLAIRE COURCEL - JE N'AI PAS LE TEMPS DE PLEURER
i have always loved this e.p. cover but i've only ever heard the brilliant 'un petit bigoudi' so have always been curious to hear some more. so get your curiosity satisfied today!
4 new posts and no comments but lots of downloads and only one comment on a super rare victoire scott song. sometimes, a little comment or appreciation is needed to keep the blog going...
CHRISTINE DELAROCHE - DOUCE EST LA PLUIE
i love christine although isn't her best song by far - a touching little song - not the best quality either but worth adding to the collection
JANE BIRKIN - KAWASAKI
jane goes all wild girl on us on this gainsbourg penned number from her 73 album di doo dah.
absolutely adore this picture too.
bang!
VICTOIRE SCOTT - LE PETIT TRAIN DE SASFE
major thanks to serge for finding this - quite a different sound from victoire here and gets us one step nearer to completing our v.s. collection. yay!
i'm so pleased to let you know that berry is back! she has new album coming out (les passagers) at the end of april - the music still sounds gorgeous and she looks amazing on the album cover too.
CHANTAL KELLY - LE VIEX PIN
in 68 she moved to the disques mouloudjumoul label and released 2 records. this is the b-side to the song 'fragola' (not sure why this record isn't featured on encyclopedisque). it's a beautiful little folk number that suits her voice perfectly. enjoy!
