Alex Beaupain: Coule

A new clip for the track Coule by Alex Beaupain, directed by fellow musician Julien Doré

It's the third track form his Après moi le déluge collection, his fourth album, which was  released last year. A second edition of the album came out in November, with an additional five tracks.

Beaupain's musical career began in composing songs for stage and films in the 1990, before the release of his first solo album in 2005 Garçon d'honneur.

His film work continued, winning in 2008 a César for the best music for his soundtrack of the film Les Chansons d'amour, as well as a nomination in 2010 for  Non ma fille tu n'iras pas danser and another nomination in 2012 for Les Bien-Aimés.

His 2011 third album Pourquoi battait mon coeur contained the single  Au départ, which was adopted as the campaign song for François Hollande's presedential campaign the following year. The song was a clever re-telling up of the history of the left in France in terms of a couple's relationship.

Beaupain has a series of live dates in France, as he continues the tour he began last year.

New: Coeur de Pirate - Adieu

A new track by Coeur de Pirate, ahead of the release of her second album later this year.

Béatrice Martin, as she's probably more known to her family, is a Canadian singer. She's released one album so far, 2008's self-titled album. It was nominated for a Juno award in Canada for Best Francophone album of the year in 2009.

Her album came out in Europe in 2009, the song Comme des Enfants received the award for best original song in 2010.

The album differed from the Quebec/Canada release, with the song Comme un Infidele sung as a duet with Juliene Doré, the video paying tribute to the French 60s pop scene.

You could imagine Gainsbourg and Birkin or Dutronc and Hardy at the centre of the kind of French Beatlemania celebrated in the video.

Her new song suggests the album is going to be an assured follow up to her debut, with a flavour of classic pop but with a modern outlook.



Her new album Blonde is out on November 14, and she plays dates in France in November and December.
