Mallory

I'm still scanning MySpace for unknown (well, to me anyway) filles sourires who deserve attention on this blog. Take Mallory Hays for instance, 23 years old, from Paris but living in Lyon right now. She already made two albums, and on her official site you can watch three clips. She says her heroes are Johnny Cash, Françoise Hardy, Keren Ann, Nick Drake, Billie Holliday and Gainsbourg. Her slighty naieve songs and her young, uncertain voice remind me a lot of Carla Bruni. I'm not saying she's as good, but with the right polishing of her raw talent, who knows.
