WHOA!!! Who doesn't love some groovy vibes before weekend?! An entire ep with 2 remixes and Edith Piaf singing. Yes, please! I'm thrilled with this first release by Electrocorp . This work comes with the original from Leg-No and remixes by our beloved producer Scuola Furano and Hot Steppa. Back to the original, which is incredibley funky and full of positive vibes is very very cool and super danceable. They just took the sample vocals of Edit Piaf's "Mon Manège A Moi" and made some magic taking this track directly to dance floor. [...]
by Antwan Shalom /// Style: House & Fun English: Today is a special day for us at Electrocorp, as we are officially launching our label activity! For this first release, Leg-No goes crazy & fun by producing a pure House track based on the classic song of "La Môme" aka Edith Piaf. The release is set to be out on February 3rd and will include an Oldschool remix by Scuola Furano and [...]
HD Video by G. Throughout 2011, I've said many times that one of my favorite new performers is Anna Calvi. December 13, 2011 marked the 3rd time I was fortunate enough to see her live and I think she is sensational. There are too many highlights to mention, but one of my favorite songs is her cover of Edith Piaf's "Jezebel." Anna's voice and the furious guitar playing make you realize that Anna is a true talent and is going to have a great career. Check out "Jezebel" live from Music Hall of Williamsburg on December 13, 2011. [...]
Ah, the summer of '95! To quote Bryan Adams, those, quite possibly, were the best days of my life. (And if my friend and then-No. 1 wingman Dave is reading this, he'll no doubt agree.) I was working at People magazine, living in New York City's East Village, and spending Friday nights at Sound Factory Bar and Saturday nights at the Roxy and Sound Factory, the legendary after-hours club in Chelsea. That's where I'd dance the night (and morning) away, flirting with beautiful strangers under the strobelights to a soundtrack dominated by [...]
Neil Rasmus, BFA Around 80 lucky guests gathered at La Grenouille, a cozy French restaurant on New York's Upper East Side, to partake in an evening hosted by Vanity Fair, jewelry designer Solange Azagury-Partridge and Martha Wainwright . The evening's entertainment included the singer-songwriter performing three songs from 'Sans Fusils, Ni Souliers, à Paris: Martha Wainwright's Piaf Record' along with selections from her own repertoire. The intimate affair consisted mainly of Wainwright's friends and family, including [...]
Camille's mocking the Edith Piaf-singing style on her new album , Ilo Veyou. In a song in which she sings France is recycling it's past like a photocopier. On paper it's quite funny. When you actually hear the song, it's funny too. One time. Easily one of the most anticipated new albums this year, Camille's fourth album is a tad disappointing. Yes, there's vocal trickery (Bubble Lady, about her pregnancy, and the child choir in Allez Allez Allez), but there are 'normal' songs as well. Sung in English and French. Some almost sound 17th Century, like Message. She Was [...]
Have you heard of Massimo Bottura yet? He's about to be on the tip of everyone's tongue. Massimo, the culinary equivalent of Greg Graffin , has already rocked Europe. He has not only managed to drag your Nonna's Italian classics into the post-space age, tricking out his Modena restaurant and the two-Michelin-starred Osteria Francescana with all manners of culinary rocket science (he literally spins Parmigiano into air), he's also deeply committed to the fleeting, visceral joy found in the superficial. Bottura is avant garde, real where it counts, fake when it's fun and obsessed [...]
On her remarkable American debut, Hindi Zahra evokes visions of dim, steamy cabarets lit by a single spotlight.
Toronto - Whatever else one might say about The Sparrow and the Mouse: Creating the Music of Edith Piaf , this much is true: performer Melanie Gall has a wonderful singing voice. In the original French or in English translation, Gall does great things with Edith Piaf songs like "Je Ne Regrette Rien"and "La Vie en Rose." An opera singer by trade who's performed in countries all over the world, Gall's singing is worth the price of admission. The play she's written around the songs, however...well, it's not as good. Gall plays Simone Berteault, Piaf's [...]
French pop/jazz chanteuse Zaz's self-titled debut will finally be released in the U.S. via Sony later this summer. Zaz, whose real name is Isabelle Geffroy, bears such a striking vocal resemblance to Edith Piaf that it's uncanny. The poor kid must be sick of the comparisons, but what else can I say here? This little [...]

Tanto per far ancora parlare di sè, Lady Gaga ha intonato una sia nuova canzone inedita, 'Americano', tratta dall'album, in uscita il 23 maggio, ' Born this way '. La ripresa video è stata fatta durante un concerto in Messico, da un fan nel pubblico. Non renderà sicuramente l'effetto finale che ascolteremo ma è sempre un assaggio dello stile che potrebbe esserci nel suo nuovo cd di inediti. La canzone dovrebbe parlare di argomenti di discriminazione, come i matrimoni omosessuali e leggi sull'immigrazione. E, sempre parole della cantante: "Sembra una canzone [...]

Move over Sarah Brightman, Katherine Jenkins is in town. The Welsh mezzo-soprano's pristine, rafter-scraping voice is beautifully displayed on her new album, Believe . Katherine transforms classics by The Beatles, Queen and Edith Piaf into gorgeous arias and also covers newer songs by Evanescence and Sarah McLachlan. Produced by David Foster, the album features guests Andrea Bocelli and Chris Botti. A lovely rendition of The Beatles' "Til There Was You" melts into a dark yet gentle take on Evanescence's "Bring Me To Life." A tender [...]
It took me about 10 seconds of Jezebel to know I needed to write about Anna Calvi . At first blush she seems the rarest of birds: phenomenal vocalist, accomplished musician and dynamic performer, who when all is said and done, is mighty easy on the eyes. And though Jezebel is her debut single, and just over a week old, she already counts luminaries like Brian Eno and Rob Ellis (Polly Harvey's timekeeper and producer) among her hardcore fans. Don't believe me? Check out how Calvi and her band [...]
On Oct 9, 1962, chanson ueber-legend Edith Piaf, who was already critically ill at the time, married French singer Théo Sarapo , twenty years younger than her. During the twelve months they had left together, they scored a huge international hit with A quoi ca sert l'amour – here's also documented who wore the pants in their relationship. Márcio Faraco's 2008 album Um Rio features a classy bossa version of the all-too-seldom covered song, easygoing, laid-back and finding the point in the Brazilian lightness of being. Márcio Faraco – A quoi [...]
STOP THE CHATTER. One of my favorite artists of all time, Utada Hikaru , is now tweeting . Yes, Muusers: Just a few minutes ago, Hikki Hikki Hikaru began her journey into the Twitterverse. What's she tweeting about? Oh, just some bullshit about how cute her Twitter background is. What's on her background? Why-what else would Hikaru care about? It's drawings of Kuma-chan! (For those who don't know what a Kuma-chan is, watch this absurd fan tribute video . It's a sickening obsession that must be stopped.) [...]
If promo legend is true, Tours-born Isabelle Geffroy sang in the postcard streets of Montmartre before she became a big three-letter-word named ZAZ and won the France Bleu/ Réservoir Generation contest. Released in May, her first, self-titled album rocketed to #1 of the French album charts, with a gracious mixture of blues, bossa, and jazz manouche, featuring also Guillaume Juhel (don't miss his lovely version of Serge's La Javanaise on his MySpace site ), a young French guitarist extraordinaire with Carla already hot on his heels, you bet. Vocal-wise, ZAZ's husky voice surely doesn't really qualify for a [...]
Having weaselled out of our Fresh Air show yesterday because I was too busy trying to get Loch Lomond sessions edited and generally ready to go away on holiday, so Ruth missed out on her weekly opportunity to take the piss out of me, which must have been a shame for the poor lass. Anyhow, we decided to remedy this by recording a podcast for publishing while we're away, so Ruth came round with a CD of twenty songs and we bumbled our way through an evening chattering nonsense (as per usual). We're a teeny-tiny bit [...]
