Le Pop 8 / Various

This is volume 8 in the long-running Le Pop series from Germany's Le Pop Musik. Actually if you count the two special editions en Duo and Les Filles, it's the 10th compilation around songs in the most romantic language in the world, French. For the first time ever on Le Pop, legendary 80's star Etienne Daho is here, singing a beautiful duet with one of the most important figures of the so-called "New Chanson" movement Dominique A. Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier appears on another duet with Belgian singer Benjamin Schoos. Well established names like superstar M aka Matthieu Chedid, Fredda, Betrand Belin and JP Nataf present new songs here. But Le Pop 8 also includes a lot of new names. If you need an update of what is going on in the new French pop world, you need to listen to upcoming artists like Juniore, Mustang, Nicolas Michaux, Liz de Lux, Babx, Vianney, Maissiat as well as Francois & the Atlas Mountains. It's chanson, it's alternative pop, it's the perfect combination of two worlds. Rich with melodies, wonderful arrangements, and great voices. Also features the exclusive track "Je mentirais" by French crooner Sammy Decoster. Other artists include: Jimmy Hunt and Etienne Daho. Includes a great booklet in French, English and German.
