Nice to see a new clip by singer Anaïs, as witty and clever as ever.
The song takes its title from the acronym for Direction des Ressources Humaines and she takes a shot at the human resources of the big businesses that dehumanise and reduce employees to disposable business assets.
Much of the video was filmed at Le Parvis of La Défense on the outskirts of Paris, the concrete business quartier. It's one of Europe's biggest purpose-built business districts, full of corporate headquarters as well as the iconic Grande Arche.
Her performance at Le Defence looks a smaller scale than the one staged there by Jean Michel Jarre in 1990, which attracted an audience of 2 million. She doesn't look like she's too bothered.
I've liked Anaïs since I came upon her The Love Album in 2008, her most recent being 2012's A l'eau de Javel which saw her re-interpret standards in her own offbeat electro style.
Her new album, her third proper studio album, to be entitled HellNo Kitty is expected to be released in September.
