Commercial break: Brigitte


French female electro due Brigitte have re-recorded one of their tracks in English and it's now featuring in an advertising campaign for cosmetics brand Lancôme

The song is a re-recorded English version of the track Oh La La, taken from their debut album Et vous, tu m'aimes? which was released in France in April last year.

The new version, now titled Love your Lips, is being used for a lipstick campaign.

Brigitte, a duo of Sylvie Hoarau and Aurélie Maggiori, released an EP Battez-vous ahead of their debut, and have performed covers of tracks like Ma Benz by French rappers NTM. Despite being the kind of act that might only exist in the studio or for photo shoots and videos, they've also played live extensively.

They have attracted comparisons as a cross between Nancy Sinatra and M.I.A. and as much flower power as Black Dahlia.

Brigitte are among the acts nominated for the 2012 Victoires de la Musique awards.

They have live dates in France in Switzerland and the Ile de la Réunion in February, and a festival date Belgium in March and another in Switzerland in May.
