Variétés françaises

[Snatcher42]

Jérémy Chatelain: My next album is called "Variétés françaises" (French variety), a little nose-thumbing at the amalgam that people create with all styles of music. When you come from "Star Ac," you know how that works. Now, I no longer want to disguise my music to follow a certain trend. "Variété" means varied, mixing lots of influences, not just a debased expression.

No this isn't another Jérémy thread, but rather a place to highlight any French artists that catch our interest at the moment. Let's try to keep the posts relevant and insightful, providing sample material whenever possible. The idea is broaden all our horizons to the world of variétés françaises!

I'll get the ball rolling in a moment with...

[Snatcher42]

Nolwenn Leroy

Nolwenn was the winner of Star Academy 2, and until now has been producing some fairly generic variétés françaises (her first album was even written before hand for whomever would win the StarAc competition!). But that all changes with the release of her new album, Histoires Naturelles.

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/127/pochettehistoiresnaturelles2zr.jpg

The album benefits from the personal touch of Laurent Voulzy.
Laurent Voulzy is a very well-known singer and songwriter .. He usually works with Alain Souchon (Another talented and delicious artist).
Better than a long speech, here is his official website, where you can have a look to his entire discography: http://www.laurentvoulzy.com/
He wrote and sang with Souchon "Rockcollection", that Alizée has performed when she was young.

Nolwenn's single has undoubtedly the Voulzy touch! He likes to mix French and English lyrics like in Nolwenn's single or in this one, for example (Mes nuits sans Kim Wild):
Link: http://rapidshare.de/files/8930262/Laurent_Voulzy_-_Mes_nuits_sans_Kim_Wilde.mp3.html

In my opinion he's a great artist though very discreet.

The disc's first single, Nolwenn Ohwo, has especially been making a splash on the MFI forum. Several people there compare it favorably to Alizée. The music video is equally well done. I love the little march at 2:13. Take a look:

Last, here's my personal review of the album. I've listened a few times and must say it is a very interesting disc! But overall the tracks are mixed.

nolwenn ohwo - best track on the disc, by far.
l'enfant cerf-volant - A worthy successor to Ohwo. Great track.
reste encore - Boring, boring, boring.
mon ange - Not as boring as the last track, but that's not saying much.
histoire naturelle - Much more interesting. Too bad the melody's a total rip-off of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"!
rien de mieux au monde - Now this is more like it! The atmospherics of the previous tracks meet a bit of rock.
mystère - Then the atmospherics come back with a vengeance in this good track.
les chimères (instrumental) - Filler, but nice.
le rêves des filles - Is this a Jenifer album? Boring.
endormie - Slow song. I hardly remember this track at all.
london fantasy - Nice! I thought those sirens were real!!!
mélusine - Good, but average.
j'aimais tant l'aimer - OMG, this track is so WEIRD. It starts out completely generic but then goes totally insane one minute before the end. What the hell where they thinking?!? You'll either love it or hate it. I love it! Biggest musical WTF I've heard in a long time!

So while this album does have it's share of generic and boring filler, overall it's quite a nice surprise that hit me out of nowhere with several amazing tracks, mind-blowing production (so rich, yet every sound is still so clear and distinct), and a great overall sound.

[Bizz]

the lyrics of plus rien

l ne reste que quelques minutes à ma vie
Tout au plus quelques heures
je sens que je faiblis
Mon frère est mort hier au milieu du désert
Je suis maintenant le dernier humain de la terre

On m'a décrit jadis, quand j'étais un enfant
Ce qu'avait l'air le monde il y a très très longtemps
Quand vivaient les parents de mon arrière
grand-père
Et qu'il tombait encore de la neige en hiver

En ces temps on vivait au rythme des saisons
Et la fin des étés apportait la moisson
Une eau pure et limpide coulait dans les ruisseaux
Où venaient s'abreuver chevreuils et orignaux

Mais moi je n'ai vu qu'une planète désolante
Paysages lunaires et chaleur suffocante
Et tous mes amis mourir par la soif ou la faim
Comme tombe les mouches...
Jusqu'a c'qu'il n'y ait plus rien...
Plus rien...
Plus rien...

Il ne reste que quelques minutes à ma vie
Tout au plus quelques heures,
je sens que je faiblis
Mon frère est mort hier au milieu du désert
Je suis maintenant le dernier humain de la terre

Tout ça a commencé il y a plusieurs années
Alors que mes ancêtres étaient obnubilés
Par des bouts de papier que l'on appelait argent
Qui rendaient certains hommes
vraiment riches et puissants

Et ces nouveaux dieux ne reculant devant rien
Étaient prêt à tout pour arriver à leurs fins
Pour s'enrichir encore ils ont rasé la terre
Pollué l'air ambiant et tari les rivières

Mais au bout de cent ans des gens se sont levés
Et les ont avertis qu'il fallait tout stopper
Mais ils n'ont pas compris cette sage prophétie
Ces hommes-là ne parlaient qu'en termes de profits

C'est des années plus tard qu'ils ont vu le non-sens
Dans la panique ont déclaré l'état d'urgence
Quand tous les océans ont englouti les îles
Et que les inondations ont frappé les grandes villes

Et par la suite pendant toute une décennie
Ce fut les ouragans et puis les incendies
Les tremblements de terre et la grande sécheresse
Partout sur les visages ont lisait a détresse

Les gent ont dû se battre contre les pandémies
Décimés par millions par d'atroces maladies
Puis les autres sont morts par la soif ou la faim
Comme tombent les mouches...
Jusqu'à c'qu'il n'y ait plus rien...
Plus rien...
Plus rien...

Mon frère est mort hier au milieu du désert
Je suis maintenant le dernier le humain de la terre
Au fond l'intelligence qu'on nous avait donnée
N'aura été qu'un beau cadeau
empoisonné

Car il ne reste que quelques
minutes à la vie
Tout au plus quelques heures,
je sens que je faiblis
Je ne peux plus marcher,
J'ai peine à respirer
Adieu l'humanité...
Adieu l'humanité...

I thing It is the most easy lyrics to translate
because it has no metaphor

I know The lyrics of les cowboys are really Big

Because They sing A story
or they have something to say

Hey guys wouldn't it be a good idea to ask Altavista to add a translation for Bizz's language, like "from English to Bizz's language" and "from Bizz's language to English". That way we wont have much misunderstandings, how bout that Bizz, does that sound grand to you? or should i say "gradn thta sound fro you"

I really don't understand why you're so angry. But what ever it is, don't blow off your steam on others. Cause it's called "trolling" and no one likes it.

If you want to be a grinch, go somewhere else and do it.

[Nestonia]

Good call Nazi lover, go fuck your hitler blow up doll.

ofcourse you don't understand, hence you're comments. i don't even want to bother replying to you.

yea i know alot about sex toys, i supply them to your third world country.

[splur]

Well, obviously something was rammed up this guy's ass, cause he's mad about something that doesn't matter. Sorry man, the world doesn't revolve around you, no one gives a shit what you think.

Bizz, Nestonia, I suggest you just leave this racist alone, he obviously can't accept the fact that not all of the world can speak English fluently.

Back to the thread.

Back to the thread.

mad about something that doesn't matter? have you even got a fucking brain inside that fucking skull of yours? just read the whole thread all over again. Read it A FEW times and see if you find why i'm frustrated. It has nothing to do with him speaking English fluently, i just picked that cause he annoyed me. Am i acting like the world revolves around me ? you're just saying that cause you have nothing else to say, just shows what kidn of person you are. and what the fuck is the point of saying "No one gives a shit what u think", no one ever gives a shit what anybody thinks nowadays, but the truth is they do. They just say they don't to try to make the other person feel bad.

Yep calling me a racist is pretty smart, as you're one yourself but you can't admit it to yourself, Everyone is racist to a certain degree, that means you're racist as well, so don't go calling me one dickhead. what a dumbfuck you are. god suck my fucking dick, i'm not even going to bother replying anymore.

A wise man told me don't argue with fools, cause people from a distance can't tell who is who.

[Bizz]

I know Splur .


And which french music you know Splur

[Ron V.]

Look, there's nothing wrong with dissent, and since this whole argument seems to have started with a difference of opinions, that's ok. However, what's not ok is that it's descended into personal attacks that do nothing to address the issue. If you want to get pissed off about opinions and be snarky about it, that's well and good. In fact that's how I usually am. But when insults start getting thrown about that have nothing to do with the original conflict of opinions, that's when there's a problem. If you want to get a bit heated during the argument, fine, but only if you're really keeping the argument in mind. But when you're not even addressing the issue anymore and just going for pure personal attacks, that's no good. If you're that determined to carry a personal disliking, either take it to MSN or spend some money on a phone call. If you can carry on this discussion while keeping the issue in mind, fine, but if purely personal attacks continue, we'll have to issue warnings.

[Bizz]

personal attacks

thank you Ron

[fallenONE]

Wow an orginal admin is on......Are you back for real?

[splur]

only french music I know of is Marie-Mai, Celine Dion (who...turned English), and Alizée. Sadly my knowledge of French music is quite limited.

Also this group which resembles the Beastie Boys ALOT, but they're French. Saw one of their videos on musiqueplus.

@ Snatcher 42:

I liked Nolwenn Leroy and that video you gave us, really good song and excellent video. Once again I wasn't wrong for trusting in your taste :cheesy: . I liked that magical part in the woods.

Did you hear about In Grid? It should be French music group, I think - I'm not sure if it's a group or just a singer and I'm too lazy to check it on the net :oops: . I have a few songs at home and I'll try to upload some on Monday. The best things are "Tango" (my favourite one) and "Tu es foutu". But no video material, unfortunately. Anyway, it is really worth downloading.

Bizz,
I know you are not calling them a frog. I was wondering why English Canadians call French Canadians frog. I just wanted to understand since I am not familiar with the meaning. :?

Anglo-saxone Of nord America Calls French a Frog
the Origine Of that
is whan the american soldiers enter in vietnam they Saw the last french troop stay In indochina did Eat Frog
the american Call The french troops "frog eater"

And Whan the vietnam war finish the word Frog Stay in american vocabulary

and now english Call us (french) Frog
Because english hate french
and French hate english
since the year 1066 Whan Guillaume de normandie Invanded England

The most importent It is The war Criminal Robert Monkton
he Did a ethnic cleaning Of french

Of 15 000 Acadians Only 2500 Stay alive in 1762
he Clear and kill French of Acadie

Acadie is the home land of natasha St-pier

Melissa Mars

http://img276.imageshack.us/img276/2710/cover5ft.jpg (http://img276.imageshack.us/img276/875/coverb5kb.jpg)

When I heard this girl would be having some concerts while I'm in Paris next week, I decided to check her out. And she's really cool! Kinda a mix betweem Mylene, Alizée, and... Marilyn Manson.

Ok, that may sound weird, but I mean more conceptually than musically (her music is all across the scale, very hard to define or describe). On her first album, Et Alors, she played the role of a tramuatized girl. On her second disc, La reine des abeilles (the queen of the bees), she expands that concept in three sections: the MARSian Far West, Earthly Hell, and The Metamorphosis.

I made a quick little mix of three of my favorite songs. Check it out:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=34C7F9AH

Here's her official site, where you can stream her videos and hear more song samples. There's even a version in Engish:
http://melissamars.artistes.universalmusic.fr

Lara Fabian fans might also be interested in this, the video of the duet she sang with Lara: Les Homericains.

OMFG... How could I have missed this. :?

<- is huge Lara fan. :)
(well... Not as huge as Alizée fan... not even close... )

But well.. I gotta check this girl out. I have heard of her many times lately but haven't really had time to listen to her yet. I can start with these couple links (and maybbe d/l some others too...). If I like her I'll get her CD as I'm gonna order some stuff from amazon soon (I assume they got it...).

[Adi King]

Yes she has indeed a good music, but not as good as Alizee. :P

[Petsku1]

Hmm im a little doubtful about Melissa... her voice is weird, it's like she'd be a little girl, it's just lot of oohing,
aahing and whispering in many of her songs. And she's damn skinny! :P

[Ludicrous Maximus]

Dead Sunday is pretty good. The others, I like less.

[RMJ]

Haha.. Watched the music video and realized that I have heard it many times! It's on Lara's newest CD! Heven't seen the video tho... So thanks for it. :)

I just haven't ever made the connection between this girl and the girl on the CD... (yes, I don't read credits very carefully :) ).

But well... I listened those Melissa stuff and I'm not so sure about her. In the mix her voice sounds quite childish. Like Priscilla or something like that. Weak voice, I'd say. I like more strong voices like Fabian and Pausini, who can use the whole range of sound scale. In the music video, Melissa can't stand out really because of Lara's awesome voice.

Maybe I could listen to it occasionally but not often for sure. Maybe her voice will get stronger while she grows old. :)

[senelgor]

Thanks for those links to Nolwenn, Snatcher. Really liked what I heard so I checked out some other samples of her. Gonna be making a couple purchases soon. 8)

[Snatcher42]

In the mix her voice sounds quite childish. Like Priscilla or something like that. Weak voice, I'd say.
Maybe, but that's part of the concept. It would be inappropriate for her to be singing these songs with a deeper voice (see especially Papa m'aime pas video on the official site). She was an actress before becoming a singer, and carries a lot of that mentality over to the music. She's basically playing a role, not herself at all (hence the Marilyn Manson parallels. Not surprisingly she's a fan of him). Her voice fits this "character" perfectly.

Anyway, I just got tickets to go see her next week, on the 18th, so I'm excited! :)

[ArlettyFan]

Has anyone mentioned yet that Melissa Mars is really hot? :oops:

[Takran]

Et alors is catchy, I like. Je fais peur aux garcons is pretty good, and Dead Sunday is OK. Anything else I heard of hers I didn't really like. Good choices Ben :P

EDIT: To the post below me. What the hell?!? :shock:

[tern]

I dunno what the song is about but I do know that America kicks ass. Yeehaw!

[RMJ]

Not surprisingly she's a fan of him). Her voice fits this "character" perfectly.
Hmm.. Maybe it is so then. But as the voice doesn't do a thing on me, I can't enjoy it. I just don't feel the thing, it doesn't make shiver inside.

But well, not eveyrone can love everything. It's not really bad, it just lacks the thing I need. It was worth a try, tho. :)

I will watch that one more video, tho (as some said it's pretty good). I tried to download it earlier but the links on MFI was down so couldn't get it... Found it now from the official site.

Yeah... 17 years of music career, 9 French albums, 2 English albums, half a dozen big concert tours, millions of sold records...

Yup... Must have no talent at all. Anyone could do that...

I'm sure you are right and the millions of other people are wrong.

Well, you said she has not talent. And laughed at her. So what did I understand wrong of your sayings?

[Bizz]

You know I have A bad English

I can not say my opinion with the good word

[RMJ]

Well, I'm sorry if I misunderstood your saying. It just looked like you were calling her untalented when it's obvious that she is very talented.


Snatcher,
I watched the Papa m'aime pas video and I can say it's well done and it has great idea behind it. If the concert will be original like that then it will be no doubtly nice memory to have.

But personally, I still don't like the voice. Actually, the video made me even more dislike the voice. I only like the idea behind it. :)

I don't see very long future for this artist (but maybe I'm wrong). I mean, it looks like this is one of those who has few nice songs around some original idea and then fades away from the stages... Like many has done in the past...

[Snatcher42]

I don't see very long future for this artist (but maybe I'm wrong). I mean, it looks like this is one of those who has few nice songs around some original idea and then fades away from the stages... Like many has done in the past...
Well she's been around since 2003 (Et Alors!) already, never some big star but making music for her dedicated fans (such as myself now), which I think she'll continue doing. The venue I'm seeing her in, for example, isn't a big arena. It's small, maybe like 1,000 people or so. Most artists I listen to are like this, actually (Alizée and Mylene being the exception). You don't see em on TV or in the media, they're not stars. But the music goes on.

[RMJ]

Well, if she started 2003 she's still taking her first steps on the career. So can't say anything about her career with so little experience. As said, I could be wrong. Maybe she stays alive underground. It has happened before and why not with her, too.

What comes to my likings, I'm not seeking them from media either. Nor even care about medias opinion about them. I would have propably never found Alizée through media, as she doesn't exists in Finnish media (it was awfully unlikely conincident that I happened to hear her at my friend's place! Thanks for her!). Same thing pretty much every artists I have listened to. They are either 'world music' (= non-English) or long forgotten (by media. Not by fans) bands. All of them are out of fashion if you'd ask most people's opinion.

[Nestonia]

You know I have A bad English

I can not say my opinion with the good word

say it with bad words or good words, nobody cares, opinion is opinion... so, give a shot :D

[Bizz]

^Lol
nice one !

[Señor Villa]

Snatcher42,
I listen to your Mars Mix and I like her music. Her voice is different and I like that, she has her own style. I was surprise that And I Hate You was not in your mix that is also a very good song for what I heard from the clip on her website. Would it be possible to upload the song so I can hear the entire song. Thanks Villa.

[Petsku1]

And I Hate You... Voilà:
http://s22.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=03O3XJ804HR6N0FBIP4A539D8G

had had to try more of her music as we're (Ben, Sean and me) going to the concert on the 18th... im still not the biggest fan of her but the music is growing.

Most artists I listen to are like this, actually (Alizée and Mylene being the exception). You don't see em on TV or in the media, they're not stars. But the music goes on.
*cough cough* what about all the metal bands you listen to? Iron Maiden & Nightwish... etc. :P

[Bizz]

You know I hate pop and French pop

But I love Traditionel French music
of canada and france Really diferent

But that Kind of music Are really Hard to find on internet

It is why I bought CD of Cowboys fringants ,Mes aieux, La botine souriante and felixe leclaire

I forget the other

[Señor Villa]

Thank you Petsku 1,
Melissa Mars music is growing on me too. So far I like what I hear. :D
Bizz, do you like The Dears which are from Montreal? No Cities Left is a great CD if you like alternative rock.

[Bizz]

the dears no I never lising...

do you like Simple plan ?

[Snatcher42]

I was surprise that And I Hate You was not in your mix
And I Hate you is not one of my fav Mars songs. My top picks are: Et Alors, Papa m'aime pas, J'attends que tu te déclares, Je fais peur aux garçons, Dead Sunday, Apocalypse, Noirs désirs, and Dans ma bulle antisismique.

Most artists I listen to are like this, actually (Alizée and Mylene being the exception). You don't see em on TV or in the media, they're not stars. But the music goes on.
*cough cough* what about all the metal bands you listen to? Iron Maiden & Nightwish... etc. :P
Most of those are totally unknown in the United States. When I see bands like Nightwish or Blind Guardian here, it's always with only around 1,000 other people. Iron Maiden is larger, but you still never ever see them on TV. As you know aside from some French artists, I'm a metalhead not a pop fan. And metal here is rather underground.

[RMJ]

*cough cough* what about all the metal bands you listen to? Iron Maiden & Nightwish... etc. :P
It would be stupid not to listen to Iron Maiden. It owns big time! 8)

Iron Maiden isn't that well known anyways... It's always in the shadow of popular heavy bands like Metallica. I still remember how I got teased in grade school because I refused to listen Metallica and listened Iron Maiden. :cheesy: I'm laughing at those kids... They never understood the good music, and they never will...

I gotta say i was doubtful about her before going to the concert but afterwards i'm very happy that Ben dragged us to it. It was really cool, the songs were much better than on the albums (much more rock) and the show was great with its lights and stuff.


and btw... Natasha St-Pier went straight to #1 in french charts! way to go Nat!

So how were you guys able to meet her? From that picture of Ben talking to her, it seems like she's a really easy-going type of girl and easily accessible to fans.

[Petsku1]

The concert was held in a very small theatre and after the concert people stayed waiting for her if she'd come through the lobby where everyone was - and she did.

Yep, she felt like easy-going person and her english was fluent when she spoke to Ben.

I meant literaly the song titles. AF is only the lyrics.

[RMJ]

Most of them are quite easy to translate (while some are pain in ass..). Here's my quick ones... Excuse the errors. :)

Gourmandises:
1. Me... Lolita
2. He or You
3. L'Alizé (name of wind. you can find exact explanation if you search the forum...)
4. J.B.G. (obvious answer to this when you look into lyrics)
5. My maquis (I'm not quite sure how to translate maquis into English... It means some kind of place anyways. Irrational or rational... Read the lyrics)
6. To speak softly (or 'to speak low')
7. Veni Vedi Vici (wrongly spelled Veni Vidi Vici)
8. Abracadabra (nonsense word used in spells by wizards :) )
9. Delicasies (one of many way to translate it... I'ts not very easy word)
10. What does young girl dream of (or something like that...)

MCE:
1. I'm Fed Up (or actually i think it's more rude... like 'I'm pissed off')
2. Against the Current
3. Toc De Mac (read Alizée's explanation of it)
4. Amélie said to me (?)
5. It's too late
6. Storm (would be the direct translation... )
7. I'm not twenty
8. Hey! Amigo! (Amigo is actually Spanish word... Means 'friend'.)
9. E-mail has wings
10. Youpidoo (possibly formed of 'youpi' which means 'yippee')
11. Heart already taken

[Bizz]

you right rmj

but Toc De Mac mean Awsome

[YCZ]

Checked the dictionary Maquis means the French resistant force during the WWII againest the Germans, don't know if it's right here or not.

What is Veni Vedi Vici ?

[Snatcher42]

Maquis a kind of plant native to Corsica. Though the word has also had other means that you can see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maquis

Veni Vidi Vici is the Latin phrase used by Julius Caesar meaning "I came, I saw, I Conquered", though as RMJ mentioned it's (deliberately?) misspelled in the song title.

Anyway, enough off-topic!

YOu always Talk of same French pop produc Frome the pop Industry

I challange you finding a new francophone Artist
Dunno if you meant about Melissa Mars with that, but one of the reasons I like her is that she's definitely an artist. She's way too weird for mainstream pop, and the lyrics are far too dark (written by herself and her mother, they are about alienation, childhood trauma, and abuse). The audience at the concert was not your typical pop crowd. I'd say the average age was about 35. Unfortunately, due to her complexity she's not a very big selling artist in France at the moment (though a recent duet with Louis Bertignac has increased her exposure and is one of the reasons for the re-release of her second album). Squeak and Kiouty talked about her predicament awhile back on MFI:

Melody suggests that people think she's too weird. Now in America I could understand that being a problem since the sheep here seem only too happy to just listen to whatever Clear Channel feeds them (least-common-denominator programming has absolutely ruined television and radio here). But we're talking about France! Are the people there not any more accepting than us of music that's different? (different = interesting)
No, I don't think it's weirdness. Her failure is just due to a lack of promotion because record companies don't want to take risks. They to want to invest a lot for a young artist who they aren't sure will be a success.
That's why there's is so much promotion for all the Starac or pop idol "artists", but not for people who are adventurous, and who want to do something different.
Besides, I don't think France is so much better than the USA, regarding cultural stuff and people's spirit. If it had been better than the USA one day, it's just losing its advance lately : culture is not culture any more, it's just products, that peole buy : consumption era.
Universal, by releasing fake artists who sing always the same pop stuff, are building generations of people with bad taste for music. Then, people in France aren't much accepting at all, Squeak.
There are dumbasses and smart people in the USA as well as France.

I guess what's sad is that her mother may have been the source of some of that childhood alienation/abuse/trauma. :wink:

[RMJ]

Maquis a kind of plant native to Corsica. Though the word has also had other means that you can see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maquis

Yup, one of it's translation really is small bush like tree (English name for it is macchia). Very dense, very hard to see through. Can be found everywhere in mediterranean sea area (not just on Corsica).

But obviously, the song doesn't literally mean that. It's mostlikely derived from it though. Dense bush, perfefect hiding place. Perfect place to be safe. The maquis more like of symbolic object for the place what song tells about.

Some lines that obviously (?) refers to that maquis fields:
C'est un dédale inextricable (it's inextricable maze)
Impénétrable aussi (also impenetrable)
C'est un refuge, chambre sans vue (it's a refuge, room without sight)

[bathman]

Checked the dictionary Maquis means the French resistant force during the WWII againest the Germans, don't know if it's right here or not.

What is Veni Vedi Vici ?

Veni Vedi Vici: If my memories are right, that's what Cesar said when he arrived somewhere... I didn't remember where :) and it means: I came, i saw, i won ... Something like that :P

[Bizz]

YOu always Talk of same French pop produc Frome the pop Industry

I challange you finding a new francophone Artist
Dunno if you meant about Melissa Mars with that, but one of the reasons I like her is that she's definitely an artist. She's way too weird for mainstream pop, and the lyrics are far too dark (written by herself and her mother, they are about alienation, childhood trauma, and abuse). The audience at the concert was not your typical pop crowd. I'd say the average age was about 35. Unfortunately, due to her complexity she's not a very big selling artist in France at the moment (though a recent duet with Louis Bertignac has increased her exposure and is one of the reasons for the re-release of her second album). Squeak and Kiouty talked about her predicament awhile back on MFI:

Melody suggests that people think she's too weird. Now in America I could understand that being a problem since the sheep here seem only too happy to just listen to whatever Clear Channel feeds them (least-common-denominator programming has absolutely ruined television and radio here). But we're talking about France! Are the people there not any more accepting than us of music that's different? (different = interesting)
No, I don't think it's weirdness. Her failure is just due to a lack of promotion because record companies don't want to take risks. They to want to invest a lot for a young artist who they aren't sure will be a success.
That's why there's is so much promotion for all the Starac or pop idol "artists", but not for people who are adventurous, and who want to do something different.
Besides, I don't think France is so much better than the USA, regarding cultural stuff and people's spirit. If it had been better than the USA one day, it's just losing its advance lately : culture is not culture any more, it's just products, that peole buy : consumption era.
Universal, by releasing fake artists who sing always the same pop stuff, are building generations of people with bad taste for music. Then, people in France aren't much accepting at all, Squeak.
There are dumbasses and smart people in the USA as well as France.

[YCZ]

LOL, is that a new movie? We need MORE INFO!!!

[Orion]

haha . . . old news . . . When I saw this guy on TV5 (early last year) I thought . . . this must be sooo embarrassing for the French . . . but the more you watch it, the more it grows on you, I guess . . . . but he is still annoying . . . and that beats out the "grows on you" thing . . . . Amusing!

Ben . . . YOU??? . . . forget??? . . . MF??? . . . NOT likely!! . . . Not in the least!!

Somebody is playing a joke on someone . . . and I feel like I am the guy that's supposed to shut up . . . right about now :cheesy:

[Snatcher42]

Lol yeah, "Brice De Nice" is one of comedian Jean Dujardin's many TV personalities. They made a movie late last year. Think Wayne's world or something. Here's the trailer:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7978875261227203082

We saw the music video while in Paris, and Brice instantly became the trip's mascot. :) I picked up the DVD in a Fnac. As you can imagine, it's stupid... but fun.

http://flavienimage.canalblog.com/images/brice.jpg

[maxt23]

They destroyed the character of Brice De Nice with that movie ... trust me. I was a fan of him a long time ago (when he was at the top) but now ... he made his time ...

His quote ''J't'ai cassé'' is not funny anymore.

I'm not sure who is more scary, Katerine or Brice. Brice is scary in a stupid kind of way, while Katerine is frightening in an eccentric sort of way...like you don't know what he's thinking, or he could be dangerous.

Anyway, this was the stupidest French music video I had before Ben pwnd it with his Brice video. :D

You play with words

[ArlettyFan]

MC Solaar is a great francophone artist. You can blame my teacher and one classmate (who is now a good friend) for getting me into him. The thing with Solaar is that he's a poet. He's like Mylène Farmer in many ways, his lyrics have a wild array of word play. Double, triple meanings. Not to mention his sound is godly, even compared with people such as Mos Def.

His sound can be many things, including "gangster rap", though he works it in a very non-violent and poetic manner for the most part. His song "gangster moderne" includes punching sounds from Street Fighter II.
http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/7162/mcsolaar148ts.jpghttp://img362.imageshack.us/img362/8500/xgau5tl.jpg

Inch'allah. :arrow: http://rapidshare.de/files/12279756/Mc.Solaar.-.Inch_allKah.mpg.html
(I think the filename is misspelled)

I think Air is pretty inspired. I have the video for Sexy Boy if anyone wants that uploaded, it's really groovy. I've been into trip hop so badly lately, especially with Portishead and Sneaker pimps, and Air adds that nice French touch. Plus, Gainsbourg is one of their influences, as well as Pink Floyd.

I had the video for All I Need, and I deleted it. I couldn't stand it, though it is an oldy for them. I just can't stand the whole rock and roll boyfriend and girlfriend type thing, saying that they don't need anything in life but each other and all that communist bullshit.

[Z3R0]

Mc Soolar did a track with Guru from Gangstarr its pretty sick 8)

[ArlettyFan]

Do you have that track? I've heard about that, and i've already been into GangStarr since a friend gave me some of their music before.

I also know that MC Solaar did something with Missy Elliott.

[ArlettyFan]

This is like, an important thread. :?

Anyway, Here's a Katerine song. "Apres Moi". This is a very funny song!

http://rapidfile.fr/download.php?id=qNiOazdM0hMzZ7M4eKv0

Translation of something funny (I don't understand most of it)

beginning of the song:
Katerine: répétez aprés moi
Children: avec moi
Katerine NO!, repétéz aprés moi blah blah blah

Katerine: repeat after me
Children: after me
Katerine: No!, repeat after me, (blah blah more stuff in french).

I wish I knew more french, the song is hilarious.

[Orion]

back in 2002, when I was glued to TV5, waiting for Alizée to pop up, I came across the video by Nourith called "Partir" I can't find it anywhere . . . can anybody help me out?????

Best French groupe ever !

Il ne reste que quelques minutes à ma vie
Tout au plus quelques heures
je sens que je faiblis
Mon frère est mort hier au milieu du désert
Je suis maintenant le dernier humain de la terre

On m'a décrit jadis, quand j'étais un enfant
Ce qu'avait l'air le monde il y a très très longtemps
Quand vivaient les parents de mon arrière
grand-père
Et qu'il tombait encore de la neige en hiver

En ces temps on vivait au rythme des saisons
Et la fin des étés apportait la moisson
Une eau pure et limpide coulait dans les ruisseaux
Où venaient s'abreuver chevreuils et orignaux

Mais moi je n'ai vu qu'une planète désolante
Paysages lunaires et chaleur suffocante
Et tous mes amis mourir par la soif ou la faim
Comme tombent les mouches...
Jusqu'a c'qu'il n'y ait plus rien...
Plus rien...
Plus rien...

Il ne reste que quelques minutes à ma vie
Tout au plus quelques heures,
je sens que je faiblis
Mon frère est mort hier au milieu du désert
Je suis maintenant le dernier humain de la terre

Tout ça a commencé il y a plusieurs années
Alors que mes ancêtres étaient obnubilés
Par des bouts de papier que l'on appelait argent
Qui rendaient certains hommes
vraiment riches et puissants

Et ces nouveaux dieux ne reculant devant rien
Étaient prêts à tout pour arriver à leurs fins
Pour s'enrichir encore ils ont rasé la terre
Pollué l'air ambiant et tari les rivières

Mais au bout de cent ans des gens se sont levés
Et les ont avertis qu'il fallait tout stopper
Mais ils n'ont pas compris cette sage prophétie
Ces hommes-là ne parlaient qu'en termes de profits

C'est des années plus tard qu'ils ont vu le non-sens
Dans la panique ont déclaré l'état d'urgence
Quand tous les océans ont englouti les îles
Et que les inondations ont frappé les grandes villes

Et par la suite pendant toute une décennie
Ce fut les ouragans et puis les incendies
Les tremblements de terre et la grande sécheresse
Partout sur les visages on lisait la détresse

Les gens ont dû se battre contre les pandémies
Décimés par millions par d'atroces maladies
Puis les autres sont morts par la soif ou la faim
Comme tombent les mouches...
Jusqu'à c'qu'il n'y ait plus rien...
Plus rien...
Plus rien...

Mon frère est mort hier au milieu du désert
Je suis maintenant le dernier le humain de la terre
Au fond l'intelligence qu'on nous avait donnée
N'aura été qu'un beau cadeau
empoisonné

Car il ne reste que quelques
minutes à la vie
Tout au plus quelques heures,
je sens que je faiblis
Je ne peux plus marcher, j'ai peine à respirer
Adieu l'humanité...
Adieu l'humanité...

These were good. Kinda reminded me of Dark Side era Pink Floyd. What's the story behind these guys?

[Z3R0]

i'm not sure to be honest... Jang mentioned them earlier in this thread he might know some more about them

Artist Site (http://www.intairnet.org)

[ArlettyFan]

Well after the so called "trip-hop" craze was ignited by Portishead in 94, the mid 90's alternative music was marked by many artists who came out with like minded trip-hop/electropop music. Most notably Air from Paris and Sneaker Pimps from Reading, England (who collaborated with Marilyn Manson).

I have air's video "Sexy Boy" which is nice and moody, but I already mentioned the "all I need" video as annoying me with views typical of repressed teenagers rebelling against capitalistic society. A very annoying music video. Anyway thanks for the links, I haven't had the chance to get around to Air yet but have since become a full fledged Portishead and Sneaker Pimps fan.

The trend seems to have died out a bit, with many artists evolving, refining. Portishead has said they have been working on their 4th album for some time and want to make a come back, Sneaker Pimps also auditioned and hired a new female singer and have been trying to put together their 4th album comeback as well, with Chris Cornell taking the backseat again. Kelly Ali (Dayton) has embarked on a pretty much failed solo career spanning 2 titles thus far.

Another french artist who shares some more modern trip-hop/electropop influences is Emilie Simon.

Many of these electronic artists claim to take much influence from french artist Serge Gainsbourg, and a recent collaboration between 12 or so of these artists including Portishead is the album entitled Monsieur Gainsbourg revisited, with covers of his songs translated to english. Tracklisting and cover here: http://www.mf-international.com/viewtopic.php?t=795&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75

:!: I just saw that Brian Molko is one of the artists on Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited. I'll have to check it out, and check him out. I'm unfamiliar with his music besides his cover with Indochine.

Trip-hop is a tricky label, though. A lot of the groups reject this labeling of them, but it's just something critics came up with to describe this new genre that didn't want to control itself. It's just one of those more specific subgenre labelings. It really doesn't sound much like Hip hop, but it's more of a minimalist, electro movement that has hit the mainstream and underground as well.

[Lía]

I found the video on MF but it's not exacly what I was looking for. I wan't the wide screen version like on the website. Does anyone know how I can retrieve it from my cache or if it's even there?

If you guys could upload that new video Snatcher mentioned, I'd like to take a look at it. Thanks.

I like the 80's sound in most of her songs. 8)

The music video for Air's "Kelly Watch The Stars" is pretty trippy, and the sound is great since it's remixed by Beck! :thumbup:

When I was just out of HS I imported my first 2 Albums from France.

Patrica Kaas Schne De Vie and Vanessa Paradis M&J

Boy I still love the Joe Le Taxi!!! But other Vanessa P. CDs I have got over the years have not been so good as M&J.

Currently I am also listening to Patrica Kaas's CD Tour De Charme and Vanessa P's Variations sur le meme t'aime

What other singers do you all think I would like from France given the list above :?:

[Przemyslav]

I listen also:

MC Solaar, Akhenaton, Daft Punk, Fonky Family, Garou, In-Grid, Lorie, Mylene Farmer, Saian Supa Crew, Leslie, Indochine, Pascal Obispo, L5, Nadiya, Doc Gyneco, De Palmas

Very nice. The music and the singer too.

Reminds me a lot of Helena Noguerra (http://www.mf-international.com/viewtopic.php?t=2476).

An update on Najoua Belyzel because I know some people here like her.

Her first album, Entre deux mondes, came out this week. I received it today and have been trying to upload, but have been having trouble since I'm in the middle of switching ISPs (if I disappear for a few days, that's why).

Anyway, it's a good disc. Here's the cover and tracklisting:

http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/41/4621078463zt.jpg

1. Je Ferme Les Yeux
2. Celui Qu'il Me Faut
3. Bons Baisers De Paris
4. Comme Toi
5. L'écho Du Bonheur
6. Gabriel
7. Stella
8. Des Maux Mal Soignés
9. Rentrez Aux USA
10. Mon Sang, Le Tien
11. Docteur Gel
12. La Berceuse

Najoua's website is also live, with clips of all her music videos and performances:
http://www.najouabelyzel.com

Paybays, you must check out the video there for her latest single, Je Ferme Les Yeux (very good song by the way), because in a few shots I swear she's a dead-ringer for Sarah Michelle Gellar. ;)

I just have to bring this thread up because it was so damn good . . .

anyway, I just finished watching "Je Ferme Les Yeux" playing on TV5 just a min ago (caught it just in time). . . great song and I love the fresh and clean look of the video. It reminds me of the fact that Alizée's 3rd album will not have those "crazy" lyrics and be more like this, and Natasha's too. That's what I'm expecting, but with a little edge maybe . . . just maybe.
