Actress, model, writer, presenter, singer - if you look and sound like Helena Noguerra, why not do it all? The younger sister of Lio (more on her later), born out of Belgian/Portugese-parents, has vocal chords that ooze sexiness and sweet promises. Her recording career started with a few singles (produced by Lio), then an album as part of Projet:Bikini (1998). Philippe Katerine and Bertrand Burgalat mastered over Azul, the first album under her own name. A lucious affair with hints of bossa nova, latin and sweet-coloured Gainsbourgian pop. Last year, Née dans la Nature was released, with Helana posing naked on the cover, and doing a very caliente coverversion of Kylie's Can't Get You Out of My Head. This site says she also wrote two novels, with stories about melancholy and love. If you're in awe as well, let's hear her sing.Helena - M'en aller (from Azul)
Helena & Jacques Duvall - Un Seul Larme (As Tears Go By-cover)
Helena - Can't Get You Out of My Head (from Née dans la Nature)
Thanks for "une seule larme." Didn't know of it's existence. Fits lovely on a mixtape with other such rarities. Nice. R:)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSadly these three links are already dead. Wonderful site however, thank you very much.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWell, they're up again
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow, she's amazing! I honestly thought I would become murderous if I ever heard 'can't get you out of my head' again. Unlike most people, I found the original to be quite ordinary, and the countless indie covers are painful. But, wow, her vocals are so beatiful and her interpretation so authentic, it actually makes me like the song (this version anyway).
