some kind of bliss
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.

if trees could talk
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.

being needy is not an attractive quality
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.

disco romance
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!

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!
