Nolwenn Leroy - "Nolwenn Ohwo!"

[gregtheone]

I know there won't be any replies but I try. ;D

I hate 75% of the French music. (90% would be more realistic in fact )

I don't have any French CDs, expect two "greatest hits" of 2 old singers : France Gall & Michel Berger. But I never listen to it.

But now there's a song that I ADORE who's called "Nolwenn Ohwo!" and which is sung by Nolwenn Leroy, the winner of the Star Academy #2. It's the first single from her second album. The first album sold very well and the first single (very A/C : "Cassé" was a smash). But for this new album, Nolwenn, worked with Laurent Voulzy (a very respected singer/composer) to breack her Real-TV winner image and to have credibility.

I post a link to download the song "Nolwenn Ohwo!" in mp3 :

I know it's not allowed but it's not like if somebody here is going to buy her album.

The song is so different from all what we hear on the french radio.
I like the fact that she isn't singing songs for kids (like all the Star Academy winners) but tries to have an adult public.

The photoshoot that she made for her album is great too :

Ooh and btw, she's the sing who sang "My All" during the Mariah medley at Eurobest in 2003 (where Lemar sang "Heartbreaker).

I checked this out. I like it! It's different than anything I've ever heard. What's she singing about?

[gregtheone]

She sings that she has stayed the same.

Not bad! But typical French song

No! Typical French songs right now are A/C cheesy ballads or RnB crap a la K-Maro.

[Purple Dreams]

This reminds me of Hilary Duff but in French.
I don't like K-Maro but I think some French r&b is nice.

[francky]

I don't like her, but this song is okay.
At least she came back with something fresh, thanks Laurent Voulzy!

That's such an insult lol.

[That Skipping Rope.]

I have no clue what's she saying, but I like it.

I especially like the choir in the chorus.
