Details: Product Description Digitally remastered edition of her original classic first album by the woman who is described as "our national 'Stina Nordenstam', whose work still shows a great personality". Amazon.ca At 24, Émilie Simon is a real revelation. Since her earliest childhood, she has been immersed in music, attending the Conservatory, even passing through the prestigious IRCAM of Pierre Boulez, while listening to house and pop. It is this richness of diverse influences that emerges when listening to her first opus, from which she draws contemporary elements that she stages in songs. For the approach, conceptually speaking, we will obviously think of Björk – moreover, one of his relatives, the German Markus Dravs, participated in the mixing. As for the tone of voice, it will evoke here and there the fragility of Stina Nordenstam. Émilie Simon sings indifferently in French or in English, as on the tubesque and tangy "Flowers", lays down pieces that are sometimes essentially very sophisticated acoustic ("Chanson de toile") and dares, after having already tried her hand at "Femme fatale" from the Velvet Underground with Tim Keegan, an incredible cover of the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog". As for Perry Blake, a luxury guest during "Graines d'étoiles", he completes the setting of the scene. --Hervé Comte
