Took her long enough. Seems like she picked up a few things from MF, disappearing for a few years then releasing new material. I dig the English as a French accent on a women drives me crazy, but the beat is a little odd. Guess we'll have to wait and see more.

Btw. Les Collines means The Hills What to Limelight, It's very electronic, but overall I like it! Though, I'd prefer the album to be more "voice showing", that we can hear, that what we love so much, Her Grace's lovely voice. |

Wouldn't surprise me, I thought Décollage on the last album was really odd but it grew and me and became one of my fav's.

I somewhat agree with Bandit...
yea, not the song to hint towards the rest of the album... but, after you listen to it a lot it kinda grows on you. iTunes counter is up to 103 times. --------- P.S. Is it "scarce" or "scares"

Listening to "Limelight" on repeat modus.....
What can I say? It sounds like an 80's track But why does she use a vocoder? I can't recognise her at all, it could be anyone singing |

It sounds like Alizée to me, but yes, a bit different. The effect is somewhat similar (but definitely not the same) to what she did in parts of "Par Les Paupières". Software and hardware are available that will double your voice an octave higher. (It's different than a vocoder.) Another option is to sing the part twice, the second part being sung an octave higher. My guess is they used one of the "artificial methods" because it matches so well and there is a slight portamento effect. It sounds like some other processing is being done too.
I've always felt that Alizée sounds a bit different when she is singing in English and also trying to reduce the effect of her French accent. Add this with the "octave" effect and I can see why some people feel it doesn't sound like her. While I like the idea of using such effects at times on the voice to provide a different mood or color to the palette, I certainly hope she doesn't do it on every song. I still want to hear the "organic" Alizée voice as well. But for this song, I think it works.

Not my style. I've always liked Pop. I have an ear for the individually simple (but collectively intricate) style of Laurent, the rhyme and rhythm of Mylene, and the pop voice of Alizée. The power of the first triad becomes more obvious with each album Alizée releases.
That said, Psychedelices had some nice songs, albeit I did miss some of the composition dimensionality of Laurent. The Limelight trailer seems shallow (one dimensional) both in voice and in composition. I understand that may be the intent of the song, and it is packaged in a larger album. If it is a contrasting mood song in a larger album, then it might have a place. Even then, I can't see playing it for own sake. Stand alone, it does nothing for me. I'm happy that some here like it. That's important for Alizée's success. And I do want her to succeed.

I am still not a fan of minimalist electronica, however it works well with what she is trying to portray so I like the song. In fact the more I hear it the more I like it. Quote:

Hello guys, guess I'm late for the party.
Whoa, 14 pages of posts in like 2 days, took me like 1 hour to read through it all Meanwhile I got the time to listen to the song a couple of times and yes, it really grows. The teaser is worthless in portraying the song itself as the full song really builds up towards the end. I would had liked a bit more texture thou, at the very end with the 8 words of wisdome the song is getting really intense, but sadly it also ends right there :C I'm not quite sure what ya'll going on about with the "vocoder" and flat voice thingy. All I can hear is the multiple voices at different pitchings just as Lefty mentions. It's a pretty neat effect that in my ears adds dimension to the voice rather than removing it. For the song itself I can aggree it get's monotonous. Yeah a duet like Moby vs. Mylene would be awesome, love that song and it really works having both french and english lyrics in the same song. Dunno why you post a vid that is restricted from Swedish computers Topaz, that's just wrong man Note how they use the effect on Mylenes voice in this, not whole octaves thou which makes difference. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/auPMNYbMv_c&hl=sv_SE&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/auPMNYbMv_c&hl=sv_SE&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
