ma nouvelle voiture...

un peu de vie personnelle et matérialiste dans mon blog habituellement consacré aux nourritures culturelles musicales (LOL), avec la photo de ma nouvelle voiture, un DS3 Citroën d'occasion (moins d'1 an, 15000 km) couleur bleue ciel (Boticelli), totalement raccord avec l'ambiance de mon blog donc, prise ici sur le parking de l'entrepôt où est basé mon bureau hier soir.
Après plus d'un an à me demander si j'allais changer de voiture (une 206 Peugeot bleue déjà, mais plus foncée, électrique) avant ses 10 ans en Juin prochain et avant d'avoir des frais à faire dessus donc, à chercher des modèles de voitures (abordables, donc bye-bye les Audi, 407 coupé et cie...), je suis tombé sur ce modèle récent de Citroën et pour une fois, les coloris disponibles sortaient de la palette habituelle du blanc au noir en ne passant que par le gris clair et gris foncé, voire exceptionnellement (avec surcoût) rouge pétard... Et en voulant voir sur Rennes où il y en aurait une de dispo pour essayer voir si la voiture -en vrai- me plaisait, j'ai vu ce petit bijou d'occas' (voiture collaborateur) dont l'annonce venait d'être publiée : résultat des courses : rendez-vous vendredi soir dernier avec un vendeur sympa, tour d'essai, aperçu du rabais disponible, retour le lendemain matin, négociation pour atteindre mon prix (maximum que j'étais prêt à mettre quand même), et HOP! signature : à peine plus de temps que pour m'acheter un CD :) je suis complètement crazy ...mais ça faisait un an que l'idée mûrissait ! Livraison le mercredi suivant et donc, ça fait 3 jours que je roule en DS3, option limiteur+régulateur de vitesse, clim automatique, rétro rabattants, alarme au recul, etc. Je me sens déjà à l'aise avec ma pédale d'embrayage, la direction assistée me la rentre quasi toute seule dans mon garage, et je n'ai même pas câlé une seule fois en démarrage en côte :) HA HA! Le bonheur, quoi! Une bien belle voiture à conseiller donc, pour ceux qu'une 2 portes ne rebute pas...

Christmas' rush : too many albums releases to buy... !

I know the key moment in the year for the music market is the end of the year, from mid-Octobber to mid-December, so that the new CD album that is released can be bought for Christmas as a gift, but this year, there have been weeks or month without any album to be release I wanted to buy but right now and until the next few coming weeks, there are just too many ! I can't afford to buy them all as they get released ! And that is a shame... I'll have to choose which ones I want more than the others and I guess the losers will get bought at mid-prices or at eBay next year when the market will be dead again.
Just to share these deadlines with you, let's list them all :

first, those already available :
David Guetta Nothing but the beat (for this one, I'm waiting for the deluxe platinum re-edition #9, when the CD2 will be full of good dance/pop songs and not an instrumental electro bore...)
Melanie C The sea (waiting for a french release to see if it's better than the UK one or the german edition)
Darren Hayes Secret codes & battleships (I pre-ordered the 2CD edition and has just received the Amazon dispatch mail!)
Matt Cradle Letters (from the snippets I heard, I think I'll wait for January UK garbage sales to buy this one, too pop/rock for me for now on...)
Aqua Megalomania (waiting for a french release to buy it at my local store but may have to buy it on import via internet?)
Joe Jonas Fastlife (I have just received my CD so a full review may come soon...)
Steps The Ultimate collection (I have received my CD+DVD edition : I couldn't do without ! even though the package looks poor : errors in songwriters credits and very poor booklet : I wish it could have been released via Cherry Red Records !)
Nicola Roberts Cinderella's eyes (this one has yet to grab me... I hated Beat of my drum but like Lucky day... I think all depends on third single now!)
Le Kid Oh Alright! (I'm just waiting to find it at a nice price on the net to buy me this fabulous swedish only release!)

24/10 Releases :
Kelly Clarkson Stronger (I might pass on that one, she's always been too rock for me, unless previews make me change my mind)
Adam & Eve : the Musical (I'll wait for the re-release with all songs, like your usual Musical albums...)
Corneille Les inséparables (even though I like the electro/soul first single Le jour après la fin du monde, I'll wait till next single unless previews confirm this new dancier direction in Corneille's music)
Jeremy Amelin (his first album was said to be released, digitally only maybe : I'll have to check it even though his lates single Undone was bad...)

31/10 Releases :
Self Concept (finally, Michal releases his album under his new moniker : I'll buy it online for sure even though I bought his EP digitally already which means I already own half the songs... !)

07/11 Releases :

The Wanted Battleground (I'd definitely buy it on pre-order : I'm just waiting to fix which edition is available ; I'll choose the one with extra tracks!)
Inna Modja (I've liked French cancan and even more her new Les filles du Lido so I'll check the previews and may buy it from my local store between the fruits and water)

14/11 Releases :
JLS Jukebox (I'll sure buy it as I did for their two fuirst albums)
Parade (I like this new girlsband but may wait to find it on eBay...)
Pixie Lott Young Foolish Happy (I think I'll wait a little but sure will buy her second CD like I did for her first.)

21/11 Releases :
The Saturdays On your radar (I'll pre-order this one with the Wanted's one, as sure as 1+1=2 !)
Rihanna Talk that talk (A new Rihanna already? I'll listen to it first... she's startin' to really bore me...)
One Direction (Even though their first single was fine, I'll wait for January sales for it!)
Christophe Willem Prismophonic (I have already pre-ordered my deluxe edition on Christophe's shop-on-line)
Lorie Regarde-moi (I'll sure buy it asap !)
Chimène Badi Gospel & Soul (I'll wait on this one, not pleased with most of the chosen songs...)

28/11 Releases :
Amel Bent Délit mineur (not the one I'll buy asap but I may buy it before Christmas... depends on what's on my shoppping list)
O'Chi Brown remastered edition of her 80's first album with Stock Aitken & Waterman (I'll sure buy it on pre-order very soon !)
Olly Murs In case you didn't know (I'll check it before buying it in January maybe)
Eric Saade Saade vol. 2 (I'll buy it via cdon.com for sure, like I did with vol. 1 not that long ago)
Nolwenn Leroy Deluxed edition of her previous celtic album (even though I like her take on Moonlight shadow, I very doubt I'd buy it unless I find it at a VERY nice price)

Other forthcoming releases :
Matthew Raymond Barker (November but not a date... I hope it'll be released very soon though!)
David Morales Resurrection (I don't know when... but I'll buy it with eyes closed)
Taio Cruz
Kate Ryan Electroshock (apparently re-scheduled for a 2012 release...)
Charice Infinity (I want this CD, but wait for a better release than the japanese import...)
Leona Lewis Glassheart (scheduled for a 26/03/2012 release now, after Collide didn't live to their expectations...)

Will Young's new single is COME ON... c'mon !?



I din't see it coming : Will Young's second single taken from his fabulous album Echoes is track #2, Come on, the one and only he didn't even co-write, and one I didn't see as a potential single amongst the brillant other tracks that could have been chosen !
It is still a nice song and it has been offered Cahill remixes for its release pack along the original version.
Here is a video of the acoustic version, before the official video :





Once again, Will's new video suprises me and puts a smile on my face : the dog is cute !

bonne surprise avec "Trash", le nouveau single du gagnant de X-Factor 2011

Sorti vainqueur de la seconde édition française du X-Factor sur M6 cette année, l'angliche Matthew Raymond-Barker avait vu sortir dans une quasi-indifférence sa reprise façon R&B du Vivre ou survivre de Balavoine en guise de premier single post-victoire. Il reconnaît aujourd'hui que ce fut un choix un peu forcé de Sony/BMG au lendemain de sa victoire et, comme l'émission n'avait pas connu les mêmes audiences que la Nouvelle Star, l'impact sur les ventes n'a fait qu'accroître le manque d'intérêt pour cette sortie en digital.
Alors que la victoire de cet attachant britannique en avait surpris plus d'un face à la jeune Marina d'Amico, à la voix plus professionnelle mais avec une personnalité moins ressentie par le public, c'est aujourd'hui l'heure du second single annonçant l'album prévu pour Novembre (quelle date ?). Tout va se jouer là et Matthew est lucide ; il sait qu'aujourd'hui, avec la crise du disque, ça passe ou sa casse. Il doit faire la différence et créer le buzz pour reconquérir les fans de l'émission et leur faire télécharger son titre puis acheter l'album.
Sony Music l'a plus laissé libre de choisir ses chansons et son style musical, apparemment bien dans la mouvance actuelle, entre R&B et électro pop, avec des titres en français, mélange d'anglais et français comme sur son nouveau single et quelques titres 100% en anglais : après tout, il faut bien jouer de son atout principal : l'anglais est sa langue maternelle. L'apprenti artiste s'investit beaucoup sur les réseaux sociaux, via sa page facebook par exemple, pour accrocher le fan un par un et faire découvrir son nouveau titre, Trash (tout le monde jump sur le bar). Pas de clip encore mais une video sonore sur youtube pour le moment qui est arrivée jusqu'à moi et m'a fait acheter le single sur iTunes aussitôt après 5 écoutes en boucle ! Pari gagné dans mon coeur donc : j'attends son album avec impatience et achèterai le CD, rien que pour soutenir ce jeune chanteur attachant et vrai, qui s'éclate en faisant la musique qui lui plaît, et me plaît aussi apparemment.
Composé par 6Mondini, alias Franck Rougier, qui avait déjà oeuvré pour Christophe Willem par exemple, ce Trash n'est pas à mettre à la poubelle, bien au contraire. Dès l'intro électro, mon intérêt est capté, et le refrain qui démarre déjà me capture dans les filets de cet hymne addictif à faire la fête dans les bars, entre potes, ce que le jeune Matthew avoue avoir beaucoup de mal à ne plus faire, maintenant qu'une photo de lui bourré volée via iPhone casserait un peu le plan promo de Sony... Il est heureux que le titre soit sous-titré "Tout le monde jump sur le bar" puisqu'on retient bien plus cette accroche du refrain que le "Trash" qui ne fait que clôre le refrain principal. Clairement, les paroles nous ramènent à l'insouciance et aux excès festifs des soirées étudiantes ("On oublie tout, on se lâche. Tout le monde fait le show ce soir. On lève les mains, on se trashe") et sont loin d'être consensuelles. Quid donc du passage en radio ? Mais le buzz sur le public ados et post-ados, voire adulescents (=ados attardés) dont je fais partie, devrait je l'espère pour lui concrétiser les ventes potentielles de ce très bon single au final, énergique et bien dans le move, pouvant, grace à ses parties chantées en français, être playlistée dans les quotas francophones des radios ciblées dance.
Il me tarde d'écouter notre sympathique anglais, typé chanteur "next door friend", sur la longueur d'un album entier. Je ne pense pas que son accent français légèrement chuintant me dérange tant que ça finalement... ça fait partie de son capital sympathie et tant que le beat est bon, Matthew Raymond-Barker aura le mérite d'occuper le créneau dépeuplé de la pop grand public tendance electro/R&B, une sorte de Rihanna masculin à la franglaise, quoi !

Lorie's comeback single, inspired by Dita von Teese

Lorie's soon back with a new CD album, Regarde-moi, set for release on the 21st of November, and by now, what's new is the video for the first single off it, Dita, which has been available on download since the end of August.
Inspired by the Burlesque pin-up artist of talent Dita von Teese, the song is composed by Frederic Chateau (aka Asdorve, who produced and wrote more than half her previous album of 2007, 2LOR en moi) with lyrics by Thierry Surgeon & Delphine Dobrinine. Musically, she sticks to the new sound she adopted on this previous album, moving away from being our french Britney to become some sort of our younger french Kylie... except on Dita, there are some oriental inspiration mixed to the electro pop/dance sounds. Even though it takes some time to get into it, her Dita is catchy enough and has finally won me, despite initial surprise. The chorus hook is inescapable, even though the line everybody will memorize (Juste un détail...) has nothing to do with the title of the song...
The video that has just been published is a full classy 5' film where Lorie goes retro becoming a bored housewife that films herself as a pin-up on her sofa, with other parts where Lorie shows she still can dance amongst gorgeous male dancers. The whole video is made as a promotion tool like Mylène Farmer used to do in the 80's, I mean, a cinema-inspired video for a pop song that is just the soundtrack of it. Lorie sexes her image up with this video, going further in the direction she intended with her previous work : she is no more a girl and is now a woman, with mature sound, electro/dance, and sexy attitude ; she even has a naked slaveboy that fans her in one short scene ! In the first dancing scene in the theatre's hall, I think her make-up and hairstyle looks as if she was the ex-pornstar Brigitte Lahaie but I don't think that's an intentional purpose to spice her image up though... And I bet the film ends with her current boyfriend, actor Philippe Bas, showing up his neck for the camera as her husband coming back to take profit of the sexy images she has filmed for him...
The whole thing teases me good for her soon-to-be released seventh studio album and I wonder if she has worked with english producers again or has sticked to Asdorve and co. No doubt, I'll let you know as soon as I get it for a full review ;) ! Till then, watch her fab video and listen to Dita.



The Saturdays' new single/album's on the line

Here it comes ! After they've released Notorious (#8 in last May) and All fired up (#3 last month), The Saturdays have unleashed the video for their forthcoming single, a power ballad called My heart takes over and written by Ina Wroldsen with Steve Mac, to launch their new album, On your radar, that is to be released in the UK on the 21st of November, two weeks after their label mates The Wanted 2nd album. I am not that much excited about this song, but it is the type of Westlife #1 song Steve Mac used to write a couple of years ago so who knows, maybe after a performance on the X Factor TV show, they could finally get their first #1 hit ? I don't care as long as their label releases music from the 5 ladies.

Let's do it in the AM (or PM either) with FrankMusik !

After a first album Complete Me in 2009 where UK-born Vincent James Turner first emerged as a new electro boy in the 80's inspired UK scene, here is the time for the real eclosion of this very talented boy : 2011 sees him releasing his new album Do it in the AM under his alias FrankMusik and, at the same time, Erasure's comeback album Tomorrow's World he produced for the synthpop uk veterans. - I will talk about this comeback album more in the end -

But for now, back to his solo work ; I hadn't really got into his first effort, although big names like Keane or Pet Shop Boys hired him as a support act for their UK tours, even before Complete Me was released. His first UK charting single Better off as two (UK#26) was good enough though, but the following single Confusion girl only reached #27 and the remixed single version that featured rapper Tinchy Stryder didn't grabbed me neither. His album featured co-production credits by Stuart Price, Jeremy Wheatley and Mark Taylor so I should've put more interest in this littl' boy... Just remembering Neil Tennant et Chris Lowe had him remix their Love etc. should have made me have a second thinking 'bout him. Gotta boyfriend was a hidden pop treasure inside it for example. Well, I guess it's better late than never...
After remixing more songs for different artists like Mika or Alphabeat for example, and collaborating with electro rappers Far East Movement, he started work on his second album with Martin Katszenbaum, head of Cherrytree Records and A&R for Lady Gaga, Far East Movement or Natalia Kills. Do it in the AM sees him releasing more 80's inspired electro pop with a lil' more touch of dance and commercial appeal than on Complete Me. Underground purists will shout for sure but I think it's for the better and Frankmusik can be proud to deliver good pop for a wider audience ! All co-produced (and for the most part co-written too) with Katszenbaum, the 13 songs of this album stand by themselves as pure pop gold of single quality.

The album was preceded by two singles, The fear inside first last year, and the title track in collaboration with the Far East Movement boys to really launch the CD. The fear inside is a 80's sounding vocoderized new wave/pop addictive track where Vincent's vocals shine in high notes to contrast with the synthetic ones. Do it in the AM is more of an actual sounding hit song where Far East Movement are surfing high on their Like a G6 worldwide smash hit to help Frankmusik shine in the charts. The chorus is repetitive and sticks to your brain to make you want to jump up and dance in rhythm all day long.
The album starts with another single potential song, We collide, full of blip-blip sounds very reminiscent of Erasure, but with a today's sound like he has used on their new album, and it has a very strong chorus. The second track, No I.D., is a duet with american girl Collette Carr, another fellow CherryTree signature, and this new one is even more appealing. It has been chosen as the new single off the album and it is a pure electro/pop anthem to my ears ! It is followed by Do it in the AM and No champagne, the third in a row collaboration track on the album, still with another Katszenbaum protegee, Natalia Kills this time. It may become another single even though it is a less straightforward song. The rhythm is inescapable though, and you will find yourself nodding your head to the song, no doubt ! From then on, Frankmusik doesn't share his mic anymore and Footsteps is the first of the solo songs to follow and another addictive single alert ! Verses are all calm but with a piano pulsating to bring onto the chorus and its lightful melody and nice vocals.
After The fear inside inclusion in between, it is time for another pop masterpiece, Wrecking ball, that has a killer rhythm and addictive-as-hell chorus ; this one has more autotuned vocoderized vocals at bits so it sounds more electro than the previous one : This album really sounds like a collection of hit singles to me, as if Frankmusik had written a billion songs and only chose to include the singles, except I very doubt all of them will be released as singles ; they could though !
Running starts all R&B-ish, with still electro instrumentation though, and it's astonishing this one hasn't been featuring some rapper as it could have easily. I doubt a release single is on the line for this repetitive one, maybe the first that disappoints me a little. Brake lights is back for good, in a Taio Cruz or Jason DeRülo sound-a-like territory I feel, and MUST become a single !! The verses are wonderful but the chorus is even better ! And it keeps gettin' better with following track Struck by lightning which has another killer chorus with high pitched melody and nice piano arrangements behind the dance bits, like David Guetta's When love takes over, but with an angrier chant, urban and electro at the same time. There will never be enough singles released from this album to satisfy me 'cos I wish more than half of the songs would be airplayed as singles on radios all over the world... Ludicrous is another super catchy electro/pop song with nice arrangements but compared to its two previous track, I wouldn't see it as a single, but who knows ?
Last tracks on the album are Blame it on me and Cut me down. The first one has a nice melody for the verse with electro sounds and once more, a catchy but slightly repetitive chorus of hip-hop inspiration. The electro arrangements of this one could have easily been done by David Guetta and I wish the two men team up sometimes soon so that Frankmusik may reach a higher level of recognation in the pop music world. The latter and ending track follows the same path, with a very strong electro chorus, but with lighter moody mid-tempo verses. Both will stay as very good album tracks for me, so that my list of potential singles doesn't include more than 6 album tracks of this CD : #1, 4, 5, 6, 9 & 10, as #2, 3 & 6 already are...

Now my Frankmusik tribute post wouldn't be complete without a little review of Tomorrow's World, the album he produced for Erasure that has just been released too.
The english duo is one of Vincent's influences and he must have been amazed to work with them, but that didn't impressed him enough to lose his magic and he has succeed in updating their synthpop sound without losing their roots : they still sound like your usual Erasure, but not dated like their previous albums were sometimes. Andy Bell's vocals are marvellous as always and as the duo wrote all the songs themselves, the Frankmusik influence is only in this updated sound, not in the melodies or lyrics. But that was enough to made me buy their new album while the last studio album I bought from them was Cowboy in 1997... with the exception of Andy's two solo CDs. I didn't fitted in Vince clarke's latest production sounds enough but Tomorrow's World and Vincent's wise production has changed it all.
What decided me too was that the songs are very good and catchy. Not a single filler in this tight tracklisting (9 songs !) and you will have to buy the deluxe 2CD edition to find one more track, Give me life, amongst remixes and demo versions, and should seek the iTunes download edition to find another one, Shot to the heart. I don't have this one yet though. For now, I stick to the songs I have and the single When I start to (break it all down) was a good preview of what the album had in store ; nice melody, good beat and killer chorus. The opening track Be with you has pure Erasure-ish instrumentation and a pulsating rhythm that will get your feet tapping to the ground all through it and its addictive melody ; it has to be the next single for sure ! Fill us with fire has the same receipe and sees Erasure bring back good memories of the Always / I Say I Say I Say era to me. What will I say when you're gone is pretty nice but lacks some instant catchiness to become a single. You've got to save me right now is a good album track, dark and moody. A whole lotta love run riot is another brilliant potential single, with very electro arrangements that deserves to be reworked by nowadays trendy remixers. I lose myself goes back to the synthpop Erasure-ish sound more with nice layers of reverberating synthés, and it has a very strong chorus melody with harder -nearly techno- sounds. Then I go twisting is lighter and breezy but still with a hard electro arrangement behind Andy Bell's beautiful angelic vocals. With Just when I thought it was ending, the boys put an end the the album with a calmer song, the first in line from the very start of the CD, but it doesn't bore me at all, and the chorus wakes the song up if it was ever needed, that's why I still say all the album's songs are uptempos.
But with only 9 songs, this album was way too short for me so I bought me the 2CD deluxe edition. The only other new song, Give me life, is a lighter slower song that maybe wouldn't have fitted in the 9 tracks CD1 but the chorus once again is strong and inescapable. Included are two Gareth Jones remixes, of tracks 2 & 7, a Frankmusik remix of current first single, and demo versions of tracks 1, 2, 4 & 7. This whole CD2 package is for the fan only I'm afraid... It wouldn't have hurt to include Shot to the heart here too... I'm still to download it from iTunes!
But even in its one CD form, this album is a great comeback for the english duo and I think they owe it a little to Frankmusik's magic : Two CDs that I needed in my CDthèque for sure !

La Tortue est enfin de retour ! Crazy ou Cool, au choix...

Christophe Willem est enfin de retour avec un nouveau single, bizarrement appelé Cool, puisque dès la première écoute, c'est le Crazy gimmick du refrain qui se vrille en tête... m'enfin, il respire déjà le tube, qu'importe le titre !
Les sonorités sont bien dans la continuité electro/funky de la plupart des titres de son album précédent Caféïne, et il me tarde que sorte enfin le nouvel album (et troisième en studio) appelé Prismophonic. Avec Steve Anderson à la réalisation, comme sur certains titres de son prédécesseur, j'ai toute confiance, même si ce trop court (2'47) Cool, écrit par les vieux compères Olivier Schulteis et Jean-Pierre Pilot avec W.Rousseau et F.Dewaere, n'a pas le charme de ses premiers tubes made in Zazie... J'espère surtout que Christophe s'est laissé de la place pour ses propres compositions, toujours si magnifiques, à l'image de l'inoubliable Des nues.
En attendant l'album prévu pour le 21 Novembre et le clip, voilà toujours de quoi l'écouter :

The Wanted's new single

The Wanted's brand new single Lightning is to be released on the 31st of October, just before their second album on 7th November.
Like Glad you came and All time low, Lightning is another catchy sure-hit co-written by superstar producer Steve Mac with Ed Drewett.
The boys have started performing it live on their summer tour so you can bet this pre-release promotion will pay once again and help them get high in the charts when Lightning finally gets released. You can listen to this new song by watching the official video below :


Tom sings the first verse, followed by jay for verse 2 then Max and the other boys are singing the chorus, then Siva sings verse 3 and Nathan verse 4 before second chorus. All the boys except Siva share the bridge before final chorus and I feel the song falls way too short... Sure it needs an extended version LOL !

Sing along with the lyrics too :
You're in control pressing pause on my heartbeat
Someone stole all the air so I can't speak
Now I know the chase is on, I feel as though my time has come
How many times do I fly through your headspace
Now it's speeding away from a safe place
Yeah your skin, the touch, your kiss, the rush, too much and here it comes
When your lips touch mine, it's the kiss of life
I know, I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might aswell be playing with lightning
We touch like, like it's our first time
Oh oh, I know that it's a little bit frightening
We might aswell be playing with lightning now
Oh Oh... Oh Oh

Just you and me and the coats in the back room
Learning things they don't teach in the classroom
Now you're here, I feel the fear where everything is oh so clear
I've been addicted to you since the first hit
Out of control like a surge of electric
Yeah your skin, the touch, the kiss, the rush, too much and here it comes
CHORUS
Your skin,
the touch, the kiss, too much
Your skin, the touch, the kiss, the rush
Your skin, the touch, the kiss, too much
The rush, the rush, the rush, the rush !
CHORUS
