So it's been a while...
I'm not such a fan of this album but it's more a personal dislike of the genre I think. I'm sure if you're into the dancey, clubby kind of music then you can find a lot to like in Blonde. Myself, I far preferred Une enfant and 5, both of which I have become even more fond of in the last couple of years. I'd even rank them above the Mylène stuff, which now seems a little juvenile in comparison. I guess I've grown up!
I really like Mon planeur on this album, it's perhaps the song that aligns closest with my music taste and what I like to hear Alizée sing. Alcaline is a good song but to be honest anything with blatant vocal effects that sound suspiciously like auto tune is a massive turn-off for me. Anyway, I do hope she does well on tour, it's a fairly known fact that for small-name musicians (to characterise Alizée so) the majority of their money is made on tour and album sales are a sideshow to tour revenue, provided she can fill a venue... the next test!
