Alizée has a very nice presence in that clip. She can please the camera so well. So far, I really like what I hear from the new album. Here is a pretty close translation of the 5 spoken segments:
“I wanted to present an album that was, let’s say, simple and accessible, so that every generation could listen to it, and each author and each composer have brought their own particularity, and then my voice makes it my album and my baby.”
“In the new album, I wanted a little 60’s influence, but more in the inspiration, notably from a person that I like a lot, France Gall. I then wanted the color to fit the present time, to be modern, so with my producer, Alexandre Azaria, we, I think, found the best compromise. It is hard to produce something timeless, but this is what we tried to achieve.”
“I wanted to make an album that is more orchestrated than the previous ones. Today it is the violin and brass session. We feel lots of stuff when in presence of 12 strings [the instruments]. It always brings a special touch to the songs and notably, when we feel a little nostalgic, the strings are part of it.”
“The evolution in the life of a singer; every album represents a stage in a life. This album resembles me today and maybe talks about me more than the previous album. This one talks about stuff that seem a little gloomy [I think she says “sombre”, but it isn’t easily audible], more profound as far as the lyrics and my life are concerned.”
“I can’t wait to present, share my album with my fans who have followed me from the beginning, who grew with me and who were always loyal. I hope they will be delighted with the music and that they will relate to my stories, through my songs”
... and that cute little head tilt to the sound, at 3:57.
