Zaz – Je pardonne
Tag: Zaz
“Poisson Rouge” by Saint Privat and more from Netflix “A Simple Favor”
A Perfectly Parisian Soundtrack Will Make You Want a Croissant
by Stacy Nguyen
As though Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick were not enough reason to get us to watch A Simple Favor, director Paul Feig’s mystery thriller also features an insatiable musical playlist lined with the best sounds of French pop. In a movie about lust, revenge, and betrayal, the music has to be good. Your obsession with the soundtrack may have already started with the trailers themselves, which use Saint Privat’s mischievous bossa nova-enhanced “Poisson Rouge” and Coeur de Pirate’s sultry “Crier Tout Bas.”
The film’s music selection encompasses emotionally charged new and old French sounds. Besides Saint Privat and Coeur de Pirate, it showcases a heated track by popular rapper Orelsan (“Changement”) and an impassioned ballad by jazzy singer-songwriter Zaz (“Les Passants”). In addition to newer musicians, A Simple Favor also draws on ’60s nostalgia, noticeably using romantic Brigitte Bardot songs, such as “Une Histoire de Plage” and “La Madrague.” The soulful songs are especially befitting given that the film is neo-noir, a genre that often uses moody, haunting music to tell stories.
Pour a glass of red wine and envision yourself listening to an old-timey record player at a French cafe — here is the entire soundtrack for A Simple Favor for your listening pleasure.
Zaz – Le nouvel album “Isa”
Zaz: “Isa”: Her new album almost didn’t come out!
For the release of her new album, the singer reconsiders her absence.
After three years of silence , Zaz, or rather Isa, is back . Because the 41-year-old singer returns with a fifth album that bears her name, finally her diminutive “Isa”. The one called Isabelle Geffroy in the city explains in the columns of Gala having chosen Zaz “as an artist’s name to protect me, to dissociate who I am from my public figure. A way, too, to protect myself from possible attacks . ” A kind of alter-ego which was very useful to him when success fell on him, as unexpected as it was triumphant, upon the release of his first single “Je J’aime” in 2010. Not enough perhaps, since the artist , known internationally, does not take the pressure well:Three years ago, I almost wanted Zaz to die “she confesses.
The musician has thus known, like many others before her, an episode of depression and exhaustion linked to celebrity : ” I was tired, exhausted. I had to go on tour again and, for the first time, I was says: ‘No, it is not possible!’ “. Close to burn-out, Zaz offered to rest after a nice meeting : ” I wanted to build with him, take time”. Calm and in love, the artist was ready to get back to work when “confinement arrived “! A shame that she finally experienced as an unexpected opportunity: ” the experience was ultimately very beneficial”.
Time, calm and hindsight: the best recipe for coming back to the forefront with a project that Zaz herself describes on her Twitter account as ” very intimate, gentle, nuanced and benevolent which I hope will help you. will accompany in your moments of life. ” In addition to the first single “Imagine” unveiled in September, there is a great collaboration with Till Lindemann of the group Rammstein.
Zaz writes on Twitter
“After several months of introspection, of reflection on myself, on the world around me and the unprecedented situation we are all living in, I am slowly getting back on the path to creation.
Sweetness and kindness to all of you”
Après plusieurs mois d’introspection, de réflexion sur moi, sur le monde qui m’entoure et la situation inédite que nous vivons tous, je me remets doucement sur le chemin de la création.
Douceur et bienveillance à nous tous
Pas De Merde
