Brigitte - Palladium on C à Vous

A live appearance on French TV chat show C à Vous by Brigitte, with a track from their most recent album.

Aurélie and Sylivie take their knowing homage to 70s Euro easy listening to a teatime audience, and serve up something cheesier than a raclette.  

Palladium comes from their most recent album Nues, released in November last year. It's their fourth album, and while looking like a novelty act, they've managed to create an impression since their 2011 debut Et vous, tu m'aimes? , an album which reached the top five in France.

Their most recent, 2014's À bouche que veux-tu saw the videos for the singles directed by Aurélie Saada, and a mini album of orchestral versions of tracks from that album came out the following year.

Brigitte are about to set off on tour, with dates in France from January 20 including a run of shows at the Olympia in Paris in May.

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.
