Very nice blog Karin- thanks!
I am one of the new members here and I know I'm digging up old posts but I think there is so much richness of thought in this whole site regarding Alizée that it's worth doing so, particularly as it relates to this under-rated album. Since La Candida is one of the songs that initially got my attention and instantly transformed me into a fan, the entire album became one of my favorites- right along with Psychédèlices. Who knew? A French singer, singing a song in Spanish- dedicated to her Mexican fans. That's straight from her heart- and from what I'm beginning to understand- pure Alizée!
Not taking anything away from her earlier works- they are great in their own genre- I think these two albums (as I'm sure 5 will be) simply and elegantly showcase her unique talent as a singer moving into her own realm- as an independent artist.
Bravo to Alizée, and thanks again Karin for your insightful thoughts!
