Let's hope so. If it's to be a sucess there has to be great promotional work and there has to be a tour to promote? So far there has been little news of either so i have my doubts.
But, no more major label? That's a bit alarming? What is 'Institubes'? Has she lost her contract with RCA?

Being a fan of progressive music, many of my favorite albums are concept albums. I’m all for the idea as long as it’s done right. As a matter of fact, I find it exciting news. How the “electro” thing will work out, I don’t know. I just don’t want anything to overshadow the “Alizée” factor.

Alizee’s courage never ceases to amaze me. Since Psychédélices didn’t do as well as she hoped, one might think she would be looking for the “sure thing” this time around, something safe and predictable that would appeal to the masses. But Alizée seems to know where she wants to go musically, and she isn't going to allow criticism or fear over her career stop her from doing it.

As far as the record company goes, Sony/BMG released a card listing Alizée in the “to come” section for new releases. I posted it a while back; it’s on the 4th page of this thread. My guess (and it’s only a guess) is she is still with Sony for promotion and distribution, but the recording is being done under the "Institubes" label. Of course her relationship with Sony could have changed in the last few months. I guess we will have to wait and see.

If she wants to do her own thing I think she has to start, more or less, over from the ground. Most people know her for her two first albums, few seem to know about the new album/style. If she comes out with a strong album now, I think it's a good idea to start doing gigs at smaller places and more often to build up her reputation again, if she wants a career. Obviously she couldn't sell out Grand Rex, lack of promotion or whatever. And the latest one in Mexico, people sitting down eating? I don't know how the situation is in France or elsewhere for that matter, but to many people seem to live, if living at all, in the past with the lolita, Alizée doesn’t.

This is the problem really?
Personally, i loved Psych and if the new album is half as good i'll be pleased. Hell, if she records an album of Ukrainian folk songs i'll be pleased!!(well, not really, but you know what i mean).
But for it to be a success it has to promoted properly (especially in France).
She HAS to tour.
Are there any signs of a tour in the works? No? Or if there is, when are we going to hear about it (if the album is due?). Or maybe she dosen't want to and is happy to be a niche/cult act from now? So many maybes??
I think the new one will be more rocky/electro-poppy. I can't wait.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with ukrainan folk songs, just listen to Milla Jovovich's In a glade

You guys in and around NYC should be pretty jazzed with the news about Edie Sedgwick potentially being the subject matter of the new album. After all, the "Big Apple" played a central part in the "Edie" phenomenon, so I just can not imagine that there would not be a concert date or at the very least an appearance in "The City That Never Sleeps".

My gut tells me 50/60 alone, nearly made it happen.

I just hope Alizée doesn't parallel Edie too closely, most of her story was not pretty.

Do we know if "Institubes" and Sony/BMG have any combined relationships with other artists?
