My personal view of „Une Enfant Du Siécle“ from beginning until today.

When the UEDS was mentioned for the 1st time, it was for me just information. Then came “strange” pictures on alizée-officiel and then teasers. But still it wasn’t any extra thing for me. But it changed in the day, when you could pre-order UEDS Deluxe Edition… that day was very pretty for me, and for others too, most when we tried to think who will get box with autographed polaroid… however when we got to the the result that we are not in the first 100, my mood changed about 180°… but still I was hoping. 26.03.2010 – day of the best e-mail – with download link for UEDS mp3! It was nice sunny day, I woke up very early for me… but when I started to hear UEDS, it made day much more beautiful… many times I heard La Candida (however I didn’t know about what this song is). After long time came day D, it was cold rainy day, I was at school when at 07:52 courier called me, that he has pack for me… but cause of “lovely” school, he could deliver it to me cca at 16:00 (4:00PM)… After school I had time, so we went with friend to new-opened shopping centre Eurovea... but I was still looking on clocks… and then after some time I decided to go home… when I came home at 13:00 (1:00PM) what happened… courier called me that he is by us, I can receive my box… funny cause he told before that he can deliver it at 16:00… so I had luck. And when I opened my box, then started the best day in 2010… cause I found autographed polaroid!!! … I know, I have many things from Alizée which can make me happy, but this was special… I have 0 chance to see her one day live, take photo with her and ask for autograph… so my polaroid is for me the most “expensive” thing.

Then came typical days with TV, radio interviews with Alizée and some articles in magazines. I thought that this album will be successful after reading reviews on Limelight… but it wasn’t. And this bad situation confirmed no promotion, no live performance and other. So from day to day UEDS was dying in public and my mind.
But this year it changed again, thanks Alizée’s participation in La Academia… however it was mentioned that Alizée will sing JEAM and ML… for me it was surprise that Alizée decided to sing Les Collines… I watched Les Collines performance for many times, and I was very happy to see how Alizée is singing song from her last album which for most of the world is a flop. But after this performance, which filled me with much energy and good feeling, UEDS isn’t flop for me. However sales are not enormous, songs aren’t played in radios, but I’m happy that for Alizée chose to sing Les Collines – so we can see that she is proud of UEDS.
Last personal thing about UEDS which I want to tell is… UEDS is not the best album in the world, it was made very quickly, so I think UEDS was only made to fill the time between much bigger project – new pop album. Maybe I’m wrong… maybe not.

And now my personal review of some UEDS songs:

Eden Eden – here I haven’t much to tell, for me very heart moving song. When I hear it, I’m still thinking about my family members who are dead now.

Limelight – here I want to tell, that I think that all song are not only about Edie Sedgwick, but about Alizée herself too. Like Edie, Alizée was many times in limelight from her 15 until today. As we know, Alizée didn’t like Lolita life, and she tried to find new way… that are telling lyrics too “Find a way...“. And maybe with UEDS she find her way, maybe not.

Les Collines – in english the hills. Tille said it all, alizée’s carrer is like to walk up the hills. Its not easy, sometimes you must stop and give it up, or change your way.

Factory Girl – like by Les Collines, title say it… Alizée personal was factory girl, she was the doll in hands of MF and LB, she did what was good for her image, fame but inside her it was not all OK.

Nice article, Karin. I've only known about Alizée for two months, and at first when I heard the songs on UEDS (and Psych too somewhat) I didn't really care for them. But I've kept them shuffling on my player and I just noticed yesterday at work how wonderful her voice sounds on those albums, for the most part. Sometimes there is a lot of what I call processing for lack of the correct term, but when there isn't, and her voice comes through, it's just beautiful.

good article

It is my favorite album, because of it's style...but... I don't like the topic, because I hate the art of Andy Warhol and even more the society around it. MHO.

well... it has nothing to do with Andy Warhol, but more with Edie Sedgwick

Yeah I now but as the "muse" of Warhol she is one of the most important parts of the society around him.
Also I don't think that Edie Sedgwick is worth a complete album, but I guess Alizée likes her, maybe also because of the movie or something.

Alizée was originally going to make a n album about me but then I stopped her. I was like, "No mi amor, you don't have to do that for me!" and then she was like, "are you sure?" and then I was like "yeah... besides, I don't want to make my friends at AAm jealous." and then she was like, "okay, good point." And so she didn't make the album... but we came close though!...
