Tema: 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.

Nouvelle Vague - Bande A' Part [2006]




Bande A Part is a charming collection of soothing music.Nouvelle Vague is a French project of producers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux who make original remakes of classic pop songs in a style comprising features of pop, bossa nova, post punk and soul. Bande A Part is a nice charming collection of a very pleasant and soothing music. This time the album makers selected songs of such earlier popular bands and singers as New Order, Bauhaus, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Buzzcocks, Blondie, Visage and Billy Idol, which is a sign of their quite exquisite musical taste. It is very likely that Bande A Part is going to be played in many shops, cafes and restaurants this summer, for the music is really able to make any place much more comfortable. Many songs on Bande A Part sound even better than their originals. The album opens with Echo&The Bunnymen's The Killing Moon, which sounds much lighter and softer than the original due to the perfect transcription and tender feminine vocal. The Buzzcocks’ hit Ever Fallen In Love is a hearty romantic track, while Bauhaus’ Bela Lugosi's Dead sounds a bit darker than all the other tracks, but there is its own charm in it. Blondie's Heart Of Glass has entirely changed and turned into a new fantastic song as well as The Cramps’ Human Fly and New Order's Blue Monday. A wonderfully heartwarming Yazoo’s Don’t Go is defined for a very rich sound with a nice choice of accompanying instruments and Billy Idol’s Dancing With Myself is arranged in an unexpected retro way turning the song into something completely different, but to your surprise sounding extraordinarily contemporarily. Visage’s Fade To Grey refined by acoustic guitars has retained its beautiful melody but acquired some new exquisite tones. The closing Blancmange’s Waves sounds dreamier and makes you think of everything good and romantic that’s happened to you in life and is still is store. All the songs on Bande A Part are easily recognizable but many sound even better than their originals.
