What i hope for is hopefully one English song and maybe a visit to the US

I'd also love a greater rock edge to the music. More "Nellson" produced tracks would be ace too. He did the new version of La Isla Bonita, an awesome Fifty Sixty remix, a nice Mademoiselle Juliette one (Defire), and had a hand in shaping Par les paupières. Good stuff!

I have very high hopes for the next album. Perhaps this is just setting myself up for dissapointment. I would love to see more Blondie type music, I know she has said she was an inspiration for her. Also, a couple great dance/club songs like ML and MJ. Me, i'm not crazy about Alizée singing in other languages but I suppose she has to give her Spanish speaking fans some props.. and hey, its not like i'll be able to tell the difference between that and French :P

I hope she she clubbs me over the head again with her baseball bat of loooove

But... I'm pretty sure she will...

I just hope it works for her.

More upbeat, up-tempo songs like Lilly Town and Fifty-Sixty, fewer moody ballads. (They have their place, don't get me wrong, but fewer of them, and maybe spread out a bit more.)

Also, a bit more emphasis (OK, a LOT more) on that rock edge that we all seem to appreciate from the concert performances, which Lili really seems to get into when she performs live. She's said she's a fan of Blondie--I'd love to see that Debbie Harry influence come out on this album in a big, bad way.

Maybe there will be an English one too?

Yes, please. I would adore a studio recording of her Sound of Silence cover.

Ooo...also also...a cover of Blondie's Call Me? That could work.

I'll take anything she sings in that accent, though.

EDIT: Damn, Shoepick...I totally posted this before I read what you had to say. Great minds think alike, or fools seldom differ?

Ha, I think Heart of Glass would be dynamite too.

Glad to see other Blondie fans on here. I was surprised when I first read Alizee liked Blondie awhile back. So, I expect a cover song too. Hell, Debbie Harry had woven French lyrics into some of her songs. I'm sure Lili will be awesome sounding in that respect and do justice to any fine Blondie masterpiece.

This album should no longer be a youthful Lili, but now a fully matured Alizee...hopefully with some pop and now rocking out too. Unleash the lil' beast in ya Lili.

Anything Blondie would be cool by me. maybe some stuff with a jazz and or blues tempo. Definitely at least one ballad using all acoustic instruments especially guitar, piano. Some high energy rock with guitar riffs as others have suggested. Sweetest taboo by Sade or anything by Sade would be great and I think would suit her voice well. I personally like everything she has done, but selfishly I would hope that her next album is commercially successful so that I get to continue seeing her as she furthers her career. She really is too talented and special to fade off into the sunset.
