Le Pop 4



An album I'm looking forward to very much is the first solorecord by Melanie Pain. You know her ofcourse as one of the singers from Nouvelle Vague, you might've seen her dj with NV-collegue Phoebe (for instance in Maastricht), you may remember the tracks I posted by Villeneuve, on which Melanie sings. A few tracks of Melanie's soloalbum (I hope Marc Collin's own label Perfect Kiss will release it) can be heard on Melanie's MySpace-site, but also on Le Pop 4, the new compilation by the Cologne-based Frenchthusiasts. They focus on the new French sounds, and this time they outdid themselves compiling songs by Jeanne Cherhal, Pierre Lapointe, Holden, Austine and Dominique A. Le Pop was instrumental in introducing me to the newest French artists, and still do: I'd never hard of Eddy (La)Gooyatsch, Ludo Pin or Thierry Stemler. And especially Eddy is a great find. Vive le Pop!
