Melanie Bauer used to be the voice of Oui FM, for years she did the quite influential radioshow Ketchup & Marmelade. As I understand it, she's the French counterpart of Jo Whiley. Or, if you're my age and a listener of Studio Brussel, some kind of Chantal Pattyn. She introduced a lot of international, and French artists to the listeners. Nowadays, Melanie is on Radio Nova, but to relive her K&M-days, this year a compilation was released featuring her favourite French artists (most of them she introduced to the French public), and collaborations with young French artists like Vendetta, Christophe Crenel and the omnipresent Marc Collin. Melanie has a sultry, bit husky singing voice, I especially like her in the Stereolab-ish song with Crenel.
