Acoustic France ReviewA sweet sampling of the Nouvelle Scene, a modern musical movement that revives and reworks some of France's best musical traditions, producing sweet acoustic tunes with sleek, sly lyrics. Some of these artists were familiar to me from a bit of persistent poking around on the Amazon-France website, but many were not... The most famous singer here, of course, is model-gone-musician Carla Bruni (these days also known as "Mrs. Sarkozy," the newly-minted wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy...) who contributes one fine, understated track from her delicious debut album. And if you loved that record, you'll delight in this disc as well. There's plenty more soft-voiced acousto-crooning on here, too, including Constance Amiot and JP Nataf (both on the fab Tot Ou Tard label) and others. The best discovery for me was actress Sandrine Kiberlain, whose "Le Quoditien" is an album highlight. (I've since picked up her first album, and love it!)
There's also a bit of gypsy jazz from guitarist Romane as well as from Thomas Dutronc (the son of French pop superstars Jacques Dutronc and Francoise Hardy) as well as some crazed, catchy Eastern European hybridization from the multi-national, San Francisco-based Rupa & The April Fishes. All in all, this is a really nice record, the kind of album you can leave in rotation for weeks on end and never grow tired of. Recommended!
