gorette — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:04:33 +0000

Juliette and the Licks is an American rock band led by actress Juliette Lewis. She is one of my favorite women artists.
She is talented, energetic, she has a voice to kill and the looks to match it!
Juliette and the Licks released their first EP Like a Bolt of Lightning, in 2004, which was shortly followed by the release of their debut album You’re Speaking My Language.
Their second album Four on the Floor, was released in late 2006. “Hot Kiss” which was one of the Licks’ most successful singles, was the first release off of the album.

Nneka is a half Nigerian half German singer that grew up in Africa but moved to Germany at 18. Starting with the year 2003 she began collaborating with DJ Farhot in Hamburg. In 2005 her debut album “Victim of Truth” is released and in 2008 her second album “No longer at ease”. Her music is a complex melange of hip-hop, afro beat, dub, soul and reggae. Her beautiful and special voice comes to complete this mix. The result is a surprisingly beautiful and interesting style that made me recommend her to all of you!

Lady Sovereign – Random

gorette — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:24:31 +0000

Lady Sovereign is a very young and talented English rapper. She is is unique as the only white female artist in the primarily black British Grime scene. Lady Sovereign stands out for her adoption of a relatively masculine appearance and aggressive delivery, donning athletic gear and mocking the trappings of more traditional female sexuality, perhaps in order to better fit in with the male dominated Grime scene. Absolutely love her!

He is extremely versatile, stylish and keeps re-inventing his looks and motivations.
He is very conceptual and passionate about his singing.

A French-Finnish duo… One that composes and arranges the lyrics, the other one that creates and sings with the most sweet and beautiful voice possible…

A new band that actually impressed me from the first time I’ve heard their music…

She has a wonderful voice, she creates her melodies and writes her lyrics…

Emilie Simon has the greatest team of music wizards to help her and gives the best live performances I’ve ever seen…

She has also created the soundtrack for “La marche de l’empereur” a beautiful documentary that describes the migration of imperial penguins -- thus creating a masterpiece …

She’s absolutely flawless! She is Alice in the music wonderland!

I give 3 beautiful videos that capture her talent…

Sex electro trash queen…

Love her, because she’s got style and because she crosses and chalenges boundaries of any kind… She talks about sex and gender differences like nobody dares to…
