A new Emily Loizeau's song, Emiliana Torrini , Alex Beaupin, Florent Marchet, Nina Morato, Barbara Carlotti...
A good introduction before a post of the 15 songs and albums of the year...
The good news of the day: Melanie Pain, singer of the bands Nouvelle Vague and Villeneuve has just finished her first solo album!!! Here is a splendid avant-goût, in English s'il vous plait !
Illustration: Dominic BellamyThe first time I discovered the band on stage, I was very very disappointed. Alison Goldfrapp was odious with the audience and left the stage yelling "Fuck off !". I never forgave her... But because I love the first album "Felt Mountain" and the new single "Clowns", I decided to give the band a new chance with the introduction of an alternative version of a song originaly taken from the last album "Seventh Tree".
Goldfrapp

As you know, we don't want to post songs taken from an original album. But when we like a new artist, we want you to like her/him, too. We will move this version of the song when an alternative version (or a rare track) will be available.
