The wave and the bare island ...

Idols Bobo environment, the New Wave Group has created the interest and controversy by taking some Punks tubes Anglo Saxon version of Bossa- Nova. The lovers of exoticism and originality jubilant, purists argue (Aaargh!) Johnny Rotten and Tom Verlaine can not be sanitized as well.

The combo attacks here in the classics of French rock song.

First let us appreciate the good taste track listing: Exit the ubiquitous Gainsbourg, Bashung and company commanders statues everywhere.
Certainly there are the times of great figures such as Indochina, Black Desir Mistsouko or Rita, but the duo slipped cults nuggets Daniel Darc, Marie France or Elijah and Jacno ...

What is surprising at first, it is the richness of the texts forming part of the French literary tradition: "Ophelia" sung by the voice of mischievous Yelle zoophile about love between a woman and a horse under the aroused public view a circus! What cause heart at the JF Coppé so friendly.

The sister of Benjamin Biolay Coralie Clément beautifully interprets the poignant breaking song "I'm already gone" by Daniel Darc. writing on the two-way shaver, the sober voice of a singer who becomes disillusioned: the farewell words are the same as a suicide note!

Adrienne Pauly rid "Marcia Baila" false South American accents Catherine Ringer. Without hysterical and sad feast of the original side, the text is highlighted as ever. And admire the audacity of Rita who were able to dance France on the story of a dancer died of cancer!

And the masterpiece of the album, something I am able to put myself several times a day without getting bored, "Déréglée" Mary and Jay FRAnce Alanski. The face of New Wave, the cute Mélanie Pain literally lights up the audience with this phenomenal text:

"Your little darling does not want tonight
Because it is set
Then you come to me
For I am but a wanton

I am kind
I suck liquorice
I am naughty,
I take beatings,
How do consider myself-Licorice?
On my indifference, I Déréglée "

What an incredible find! Halfway between "The Lament of the daughters of Joy" and "lollipops". Unlike France Gall, Mélanie Pain knows exactly what she sings. I beg you listen to this pronto, even stop reading here.

The other great achievement of the disk is to have been able to use interpreters from the new French song that could have fled usual current.

Humbling for the rocker who still escapes Matthieu Chedid who reigns supreme in this type of exercise!

So Julien Doré (yes !!) performs "Anna was looking for love" Eli And Jacno with remarkable sensitivity and ability to bring out the delicious melody of the original.

Coeur de Pirate (aargh I choke ...) is doing well on "That the Angels" and Helena Noguerra slows the tempo of "Adventurer." Stripped of its rhythmic which borrowed a lot "London Calling" by The Clash, text Nikola Sirkis surprises with its freshness teenager.

Finally Olivia Ruiz (cold sweats .... but where firefighters?) Appropriates Mano Negra effectively dramatizing "Mala Vida".

What a slap! The content and form! Dark texts taken by solid performers freshness anxious to do battle with their labels. The art of recovery, with ever surprising arrangements is perfectly integrated. A true happiness which shows that the French rock has under the elbow.

Go one more for the road:
"So do not be afraid
Come see me a 1/4 hour
You shall be filled
You know I'm your friend
If you do not forget to set me! "
