I've been meaning to write about this album for so long now that it's almost criminal it took me this long. And it's also criminal that this wonderful hommage to the wonderful yé-yé music that is so in vogue again these days has been so overlooked. Let's try and reassess that, shall we?
This isn't Emmanuelle Seigner's first foray into music but I think it's safe to say that this is her official debut as a force to be reckoned with in the current french musical scene. Practically all the tracks are killers and for me the best thing about it is that you feel as if you're listening to something very familiar even though none of the tracks are covers. And I personally couldn't ask for anything more.
I'm going to leave you with a delicious duet between Seigner and her husband, Mr. Roman Polanski himself. And if you happen to be reminded of another very famous french duet, don't feel bad about it. It's all good. Listen then to Qui êtes-vous?.

"And if you happen to be reminded of another vry famous french duet, don't feel bad about it. " - ahahahah! Indeed this track reminded me of that infamous couple/duet.
It's amazing how everybody sounds amazing when singing in Franch, it's like when you listen to those Brazilian girls singing in English. Argh!
Exactly! But the same doesn't happen the other way around, though...! ;)
