Brigitte: A bouche que veux-tu

If ever there was an act that should have been around when Serge Gainsbourg was at his peak it has to be Brigitte.

The pair, Sylvie Hoarau and Aurélie Saada, celebrate a certain French retro style that wafts effortlessly around the interzone between classy and kitsch, stylish and cheesy.

It's exactly the kind of area that M. Gainsboug operated in, and its easy to imagine they would have caught the bleary eye of the vieille canaille himself, who would no doubt have suggested a collaboration or two.

The video for is  A bouche que veux-tu  a knowing nod to 70s easy listening sophistication, all sparkly glamour and slow shots, the music with its violins and disco vibe a 21st century take on the sound of a San Tropez boit de nuit circa 1978.

The new release comes three years after the duo's debut album Vous, tu m’aimes?, a collection that went platinum in France.

They have a new album that is expected to come out on November 17, and they are touring in October and November with a date in Paris at La Cigale on November 19.

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.
