Nouvelle Vague

Apologies for the lack of blogging lately. Uni has started for me again today, so I've been busy preparing for that, among other things. I'm hoping to post at least once a week in future, though, once I've settled back into my course~

Today's post is about French band Nouvelle Vague, who perform covers of new wave songs in the Brazilian bossa nova style.


The band consists of two members, Marc Collin and Oliver Libaux, but they recruit various French and Brazilian female vocalists to perform the vocals for each song. To keep each recording fresh and original, they choose songs that the singers have not previously heard.

As this is a post about music, the proof is, of course, in the listening, so I'll allow you to find out for yourself:





If this sort of thing suits your needs, there's a lot of their stuff on Youtube and a few albums on Spotify. Their Best Of, which came out this year, is particularly good.
