Nouvelle Vague

Nouvelle Vague - Nouvelle Vague [2004]




Nouvelle Vague (French for "new wave") has as much in common with the cinematic movement of the 1960s as the musical genre of the 1980s. Although these covers are in English, they're done French-Brazilian style (lightly accented vocals, bossa nova rhythms). Highlights include "The Guns of Brixton" and "Teenage Kicks," but the biggest surprise is the boppy "Too Drunk to F**k". "Nouvelle Vague" isn't groundbreaking by any means, but it handily transcends novelty--quite a feat for a project of this kind.This CD is based on an interesting premise. Take a social-political-music movement, "new wave", and interpret it through bossa nova (which also means "new wave," in Portuguese). The brash male vocals and stark instrumentation of the original songs yield to cool female vocals and more relaxed tempos. Yang becomes yin. Thinking of _Nouvelle Vague_ as either "new wave" or "bossa nova" is actually quite limiting. I would say this project, deliberately or inadvertently, has much in common with Brazil's Tropicalia movement, in terms of its global outlook and focus on social issues. In order to make the transition between genres, the artists metaphorically traverse the Atlantic numerous times, from the U.K. to America to Europe to Brazil. In the process, they demonstrate that the social and economic issues underlying new wave still resonate, even decades later, when placed in a new context. If bossa nova hadn't so quickly become associated with cheese in the United States, (ex. "lounge,") I'm certain that more reviewers would have recognized this album as the intellectual endeavor that it is, rather than reading it as a handful of light, ironic new wave covers.
