So Frenchy, So Chic
There’s nothing like finding that compilation album that brings you pure listening pleasure from the very first track. So Frenchy, So Chic is one of those rare gifts - a collection of French pop, indie and chanson that is dripping with the sexy, sumptuous and tantalising ambience that is french chic. Not one, but two discs compiled by Juliette Bouquerel and Jean-Francois Ponthieux for Cartell Music make this one of the most sublime soundtracks to contemporary life to come out of the Gallic musical landscape.
Cartell Music are producing some of the most exciting sound mixes and promoting French artists through a new base here in Australia, and the goal is firmly set in sight in So Frenchy, So Chic. ’From the mischievous rap licks of Vicelow’s Mr Pom Pom and the lazy, nonchalant lilt of Jacqueline Taieb’s 7 am, to the plaintive murmur of The Do’s The Bridge is Broken - with a playful sprinkle of rock, soul and folk in between - here is your chance to cast away the cliches and explore a rich and diverse terrain of sounds.’
We also j’adore their release from French singer songwriter Melanie Pain - the voice behind the eccentric powerhouse team of Nouvelle Vague, Pain has gone solo on her My Name album to showcase her breathy vocals and individual style. We are finding her quite intoxicating! www.cartellmusic.com.au.
