Album Description Bye Bye Beauté's defining sound is Clément's voice, a supernally girlish whisper floating so absurdly high up in the mix you can hear her gums smacking together. Admittedly, this production strategy has a certain merit. Who could resist the sound of a female voice, singing exclusively in French, pushing those softly sibilant syllables (ooh la la) past her wetly clicking lips and tongue? EMI. 2006. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsCool. Very cool. J. Dise | Richmond, VA United States | 07/26/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Coralie Clement has put together an album that is simply cool -- cool to cook to, cool to drive to, and cool to exercise to. It is laid back, but has emotion. Her voice is that of a kitten's... at times endearing and at times confidently independent. If you listen, it will grow on you, but if you don't want to focus on the music you don't have to. Instruments are not overpowering, and the album is of good length." A Breeze Carlos Eduardo Da Silva | Zurich Switzerland | 10/08/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Coralie Clement is just delicious. I love her. She has a very fresh, sensual and enchanting youthful voice. she wispers the words and makes you dream." Tres bien ... | Montreal | 06/30/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) ""Bye Bye Beaute" is the second album from French singer Coralie Clement, and is quite a bit more uptempo from her debut release "Salle des pas Perdus". Most of the songs were penned by her brother, Benjamin Biolay (also rather famous in the French music scene), and Coralie sounds thoroughly lovely singing this set of 12 songs.
All of the songs are in French, and if this causes you consternation then you should probably look elsewhere. If that doesn't bother you, the album is quite a treat to listen to. Coralie's vocal work has improved from her debut, and she utilizes her breathy, almost raspy voice to its fullest. On some of the songs she sounds almost syrupy sweet, sometimes like a proven jazz crooner, and almost always bringing to mind the ever dangerous femme fatale. The music itself sounds like it would be perfect for a smokey Parisian lounge, with jazzy riffs, great rhythm and percussion, and strong guitar work. My personal favorites would have to be the jazzy songs "L'enfer", and the opening track "Indicise", but "Un Beau Jour pour Mourir", "Gloria", the softer title track, and "Et Pourtant" (a duet with her brother, I believe) are all excellent. If you have any interest in experiencing some French pop music and enjoy lovely and distinctive female vocalists, then chances are you would enjoy Coralie Clement. I picked it up on a whim after hearing a clip of "Indicise" and was more than well rewarded." |
