Melissa Mars

Two years after La Reine des Abeilles, Melissa Mars returns with A La Recherche de L'Amour Perdu. English and French songs, with electronica-touches (like Metal Boy, Androgyne and single Love Machine) but also some goth-lite (Mephisto). She even plays a country-ditty (Little Blue). Pascal Obispo joins for a duet - they joined forces before for 1980. All 'n all A La Recherche is a more upbeat album then you'd expect from the title, Melissa shines in the electropopsongs, her girlie-voice suits that style best. But I'm glad she didn't lose her black streaks.
