debut solo album fromt the vocalist who's worked with nouvelle
vague. delivering confessional folk-pop chansons in english and
french with the coy, breathy vocals of an ingenue, melanie pain
has the sort of oeuvre and style that inspire descriptions like
'sugar and spice', 'naughty but nice'.
as one of the main voices of loungey, stripped-down, vintage new
wave french group nouvelle vague since their debut album in 2004,
she seduced audiences with sassy sweetness on originals and covers
like 'this is not a love song', 'teenage kicks', 'killing moon',
'ever fallen in love' and 'dance with me'.
now melanie has come up with 'my name', her own debut solo album
which incorporates personal reflections and influences such as
franτoise hardy, nick cave , claudine longet, nancy sinatra and
leonard cohen in an intimate, charming mix of french pop with a
dash of folk and americana . hear songs from the album performed
live by melanie (vocals, percussion, toy keyboards, turntables)
and her backup band (guitar, keyboards) with inventive playing,
minimal instrumentation and the vintage sound of vinyls.
if the music doesn't take you into the faintly smoky echoes of an
imagined, vintage parisian coffeeshop, it will surely ease you,
semi-intoxicated, into the night.
