MARCH 2013 UPDATE
Circular are proud to announce the latest release from The Procession. ‘Call You’ is taken from the band’s debut album ‘We are Now Leaving the Future’.
Caroline Moreau (Chanson/World)
French chanson is alive and well in the 21st century through the remarkable singer, whose passionate performance infuses the work of Serge Gainsbourg, Jacques Brel and Edith Piaf with a brand new vitality. Turns the Hot Club up to Regulo 11.
CAROLINE MOREAU Timeless and unapologetically contemporary, Caroline Moreau’s music belongs to another time and yet manages to root itself in the present with a rare vitality. She’s been whetting her audience’s appetite for a collection such as this since her live debut in 2000. Moreau is French born, but she’s as comfortable tackling the melodrama of Astor Piazzolla’s Balada Para Mi Muerte as she is negotiating the intricacies of Charles Aznavour’s Deux Guitares and Serge Gainsbourg’s Acccordion. Her voice is that perfectly pitched combination of French sultryness and quintessentially European insouciance. Her partnership with violinist, guitarist and producer Oleg Ponomarev is fired by a shared appetite for wicked invention and reinvention, which reaches its zenith in her magnificent reading of Barbara’s Nantes. Debuts don’t come much more accomplished than this. www.carolinemoreau.com
