Synopsis

Album Description

2009 release, the third album from the French band that conquered the world with Bossa Nova covers of Punk and New Wave classics. Features guest vocals from Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), Ian McCulloch (Echo & The Bunnymen), Barry Adamson (Magazine) and Terry Hall (The Specials/Fun Boy Three). Led by producer/arrangers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux and sung by a revolving cast of chanteuses, the group's first two albums have sold well over half-a-million copies. On 3, gone are the Reggae and Bossa Nova interpretations. Instead, the songs are inspired by American Country music and Bluegrass. This time around, Nouvelle Vague reinterpret Talking Heads' 'Road To Nowhere', Psychedelic Furs' 'Heaven', Gary Numan's 'Metal', Sex Pistols' 'God Save The Queen', Plastic Bertrand's 'Ca Plane Pour Moi', Soft Cell's 'Say Hello Wave Goodbye' and many more, making this Nouvelle Vague's strongest album to date. Peace Frog.

CD Reviews

Great album to chill out to on a Sunday morning or any day f

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have to admit I wasn't initially a fan of Nouvelle Vague. I heard their first album a few years ago and wasn't crazy about their take on some classic songs from the '80s. After hearing the Hollywood Mon Amour album from one of the men behind Nouvelle Vague last year and liking it, I decided to give NV another shot with their new album 3. I must say I really dig their song selection this time around. I am especially fond of the duo's versions of "Master and Servant" and "Road to Nowhere". I really like how light and airy the songs are. The music is very soothing and a nice calming effect on me with the acoustic guitars and delicate vocals. I would describe the music as a mix of folk and french pop. It is very pleasant to listen to. The singers reminds me a bit of Marissa Nadler with their delicate, fragile vocals. Contrary to what one reviewer has said, the singers on the song has been listed in the CD booklet so ignore what the person has claimed that the producers has not given credit where credit is due for the women who sings on the album. 3 is the perfect album to listen to on a lazy Sunday morning with a cup of hot coffee and the Sunday newspaper."
