Corynne

As I said earlier, this blog was and is heavily influenced by Blowupdoll. If you love Mordi and his choice of music (and who doesn't?), you're in for a treat. Thanks to Jaime of Souvenr, I can post Corynne Charby's Boule de Flipper (1). It's gorgeous French eighties-disco, six divine minutes long, written by Christophe Renaud, who also worked with Desireless. Corynne (real name Corinne Charbit) was a model at the end of the seventies, who also acted. She played along Gerard Depardieu in La Chèvre, and Philippe Claire in Plus Beau Que Moi, Tu Meurs. After that, she started a singing career, that took off really well thanks to Boule de Flipper. After her marriage (but before a nude photosession for Lui magazine) she left showbiz, she now writes for sit-coms.
Corynne has a perfect breathy voice, which sounds a bit like Alizée. Boule de Flipper sounds very eighties because of the exploding drums en etheral synths, but if you take those away you still have a very nice song.
As Souvenir proves with their cool coverversion of the song (2). Enjoy!
ps: if you have more music by Corinne, do not hesitate to send me mp3's!
