French underground? The people she did UEDS with. I enjoyed it very much... and obviously they all enjoy working together. To bad the combo was a flop commercially.

I agree. And it fits in with the theme of her trying new things. She's never done a pure dance album before. I love a thumping bass beat every now and again... having Lilly MC it would make it awesome.

I know Meat Loaf did it (after going downhill for years) by doing the *same exact thing* he had done before.. epic rock opera. With the same producer. France Gall went almost 10 years without a hit after leaving Gainsbourg before she found popular success again with new people.

My advice to Alizée would be to keep on experimenting with different producers and styles until she finds one that both works musically and fits in with where she wants to be and what she wants to do. It will happen I'm certain if she's determined enough to perservere during these years of experimentation and low-ish sales.

I think you are right. I tend to respectfully disagree with folks who think her career will be done if her next album isn't a hit. She's a singer. She is part of the French music "scene" and it's obvious other artists like her and like working with her. She will keep going, and will no doubt be a big hit again. I worry more about us poor obsessed fans than her!
