Tout sur LOVE SONGS

ah bon ? je crois pas, elle n'est pas allée aux concerts de Biolay depuis qu'elle est rentrée aux USA (début juin ?)...

Je ne savais pas non plus ! Biolay était en tournée au Canada ces temps-ci  .

C'était quand le dernier concert de lui où elle est apparue ? 

Si c'est vrai ce que tu dis, alors cela confirmerait les rumeurs, non ?

Nn mais bon elle fait de allers retours Paris-Villes ou BB joue et la fête de la musique c'est important aujourd'hui pour vendre des disques! C'est pas comme si elle avait fait de grosses émission pour vendre son disque ou quoi.
La majorité des artistes y étaient ,Zaz par exemple qui a sorti son album le même jour qu'elle , surtout qu'elle va pas vraiment faire de festival cette année!
Fin moi sa me semble logique quand on sort un album un mois plus tôt de venir chanter une chanson à la fête de la musique!(surtout que cette année la programmation était vraiment superbe!)

Poir BB j'ai lu un tweet qui disait qu'ils étaient attendu tous les deux à un événement à Londres la semaine prochaine , je vais le chercher

J'ai pas vraiment compris ce que c'était ..
en toi cas c'est un événement de BB : HIS gig
Et je vous pas ce qu'elle a d'autre a faire à Londres!

De toute façon, j'arrive pas à la comprendre, Vanessa - sur plein de choses.

Pour le dernier concert de BB auquel elle a participé, elle était en pleine promo. Pas si " grave " que cela qu'elle ne participe pas à la fête de la musique, cela ne l'empêche pas de vendre des disques et que les places de concert se vendent aussi. Surtout si son absence est due au fait qu'elle s'occupe de ses enfants parce que le papa est en super promo( y a qu'à regarder les AP qu'il va y avoir, à moins que ses enfants le suivent ?) Cela doit faire partit de leur arrangement, elle ne les a pas vu au mois de mai pour cause de promo, elle s'en occupe ce mois ci quand JD est lui en promo( elle n'allait donc pas faire un aller retour ). Elle reprendra le promo à la rentrée puis préparation de la tournée puis la tournée( enfin !!!)

Vanessa Paradis

Before Johnny Depp, before Chanel, Vanessa Paradis’ first love was singing. As she releases her sixth album, she talks to Jude Rogers about love, Hollywood and why life is good – whatever the tabloids might have to say.

Vanessa Paradis, from the Red August Issue

By Jude Rogers

01 July 2013

So, your partner has left. A younger beauty snatched him away. All the gossip hounds see now is the lonely 40-year-old ex of a beautiful, bankable actor. Game over, Vanessa Paradis. Or that’s how it’s meant to be.

It’s a warm Sunday afternoon in Paris, at the opulent Park Hilton hotel. This is the city where 'Joe le Taxi' first plied his trade, 26 – 26! – years ago, in a song that brought instant fame to the gap-toothed, gorgeous teenager singing it. Since then, Vanessa Paradis has won acting awards, been Chanel’s muse, had a 14-year relationship with Johnny Depp and released five albums. I’m here today to talk about her sixth.

This stunning 20-song extravaganza has a title to get tongues wagging: Love Songs. After all, since 1998, Paradis has been a character in her own love story. Today, we’re only a few minutes walk from Hotel Costes, where Depp first laid eyes on Paradis, and invited her over to his table. From there grew one of the entertainment industry’s most solid relationships, and two children, Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 11.

Twitter wailed when their split was announced last year, and rumours about Depp and his new girlfriend (actress Amber Heard) have been escalating ever since: they’re getting married (when Paradis and Depp never did), and Heard could be pregnant…

Paradis is rumoured to be a self-possessed, cold character – and today, she is late. Waiting in an extravagant suite, I’m prepared for a rarified ice maiden. And then the door opens. What I did not expect was the bounciness. The feistiness. The warm hug, and the motherly charm. Three hours later, on the Eurostar home, I pick apart our time together. Paradis gave me a masterclass in charisma and playfulness. Not what I expected at all.

She says things like this, devilishly, ‘Love is not just about butterflies and fairy tales. People are like, “Oh, the album is called Love Songs but they’re such dark songs.”’ Her eyes sparkle as she speaks. ‘And I say, “What do you think love is?” We’re not in a fairy tale. Nobody lives in a fairy tale.’

Paradis is intelligent, funny, delivers her sentences with bite – and, yep, she looks incredible. Apologising for the traffic as she bounds into the room, she asks me how my train journey was, like a caring mum, and then perches on the sofa. She’s dressed in a black velvet jacket, baggy vest and blue cords. I would look studenty in it; on her, it’s sheer elegance. Her hair is down and tousled. I tell her I’ve been a fan of her music for years. ‘Not just Joe Le Taxi, I hope,’ she winks.

Born in a Parisian suburb just before Christmas 1972 (‘I could not live without being here,’ she says, slapping her seat for emphasis, ‘I could not’), Paradis didn’t have a particularly unusual childhood, she says. But then she started singing.

‘And now that’s been a source of joy for me for so long. It fills you with such amazing vibrations – you change a little, you grow, you get completely inhabited when you sing. And anyone can!’

Her enthusiasm as she speaks is enrapturing – it inhabits you, too.

When she was 14, her record-producer uncle, Didier Pain, recorded her first single. Joe Le Taxi spent 11 weeks at number one in France, but it raised people’s tempers, too. Someone painted ‘slut’ on her house and she was spat at in the street, even though the song wasn’t salacious, and she wore baggy clothes in the video. ‘It was a very surreal time,’ she says, breathing out. ‘To go from a very normal upbringing to suddenly being judged, and having to justify yourself when you don’t really know who you are yet.’

She shrugs. ‘But I learnt a lot, very young.’ Her success mushroomed quickly in other fields. At 17, she won a César (the French equivalent of an Oscar) for the film Noce Blanche.

At 18, she played a caged bird swinging on a trapeze in that famous Chanel Coco campaign.

At 19, she scored another international hit, the retro-pop Be My Baby. ‘I can’t complain,’ Paradis laughs, cackling through that famous gap in her front teeth. ‘But I worked hard for it, you know?’ And then, six years later, along came Johnny.

On paper, it looks like Paradis’ career took a back seat after that. His career rocketed with the Pirates Of The Caribbean series; she only managed a handful of albums and films. ‘There was a slowdown for me, yes, but there was never a break.’

Suddenly, you sense Paradis’ robustness. ‘When people say, “How come you don’t have a career in Hollywood?”, I say, first of all, that doesn’t mean anything. I’ve been fortunate since day one to be able to choose what I want to do in my work, and with whom I do it.’ She raises an eyebrow. ‘And there’s good and bad in Hollywood, you know.’

But it’s clear that three years ago, Paradis’ productivity shot up. She put together a Best Of album, and made two successful films: acclaimed romcom Heartbreaker and Café De Flore, in which she plays the mother of a child with Down’s syndrome. Then came French singer-songwriter/ producer Benjamin Biolay, his dark hair and dark eyes reminiscent of someone else in Paradis’ life. He sent her eight songs, and she ‘fell in love with them all… and then more kept coming… and now I have a double album because I could not get rid of one!’

What about that provocative title? It came last, she says, and from Biolay – but she will not be drawn on any of my hints about him. ‘It’s a great title. So simple, taking a phrase we all know, and turning it around. These are up-and-down love songs, because that’s what love is.’

Then I ask what it’s like to sing New Year, which was co-written by Depp. A song about change and time, it includes the lyric, ‘The scars will heal and then what will remain... a mysterious design. A beautiful reminder of the pain.’ ‘It was written years ago,’ Paradis says, matter-of-factly, then talks about how Lily-Rose made up the first line. Paradis loves being a mum, she adds, but the kids don’t listen to her music. Lily-Rose loves American chart-pop, while Jack prefers rap and rock’n’roll. She’ll say no more about her children.

So I try, foolishly perhaps, to bring things back to their father. I ask if it feels good to be releasing a record showing the world who Paradis is and what she can do, rather than being seen in the shadows of her former partner.

Her reply is a masterclass of evasion, but the sass in it floors me. ‘You’re a journalist, so you live very much in the world of what’s been written, and what’s been said about me. I don’t engage with that.’ She leans forward. ‘I can’t. First of all, I don’t want to pollute myself and also I don’t have enough time. I’m a singer, an actress, a mum, you know what I mean? It really doesn’t interest me.’ And then she laughs. ‘But also there’s nothing I can do, I can’t shut people’s mouths! So, enjoy yourselves, everyone. Have a ball with it.’

I think about this proclamation on the way home – how fuck-you it sounds, and how strong it makes her. ‘It’s not like I’m lacking or missing something in my life, either,’ she added, as our time raced to an end. ‘Look at my life.’ She has a point.

But what is love to her, though? ‘It’s something for families and friends and for lovers,’ she says. She delivers her final line like a bullet. ‘It’s the most powerful thing that we have.’

environ 116 000 exemplaires vendus!

pas mal !

Ah merci pour le chiffre!! J'espère que ça continuera à se vendre, il vaut le coup cet album!!!!!

il n'y a pas une chanson que je n'aime pas, j'arrive pas a en mettre de côté....

Je l'ai offert à une amie qui n'est pas plus que ça Vanessa, elle en entendu des bouts et elle l'a voulu..... 

Il y en a que je préfère, comme "Plus d'amour", "L'au-delà", "Prends garde à moi" ou "Sombreros" , mais je l'ai aime toutes, elles ont toutes quelque chose ces chansons! Les deux que j'écoute un peu moins c'est "Les roses roses " mais ça c'est parce que je n'aime pas la voix à BB, et "C'est quoi" qui a une étrange sonorité mais de là à dire que je ne les aime pas, il y a de la marge...

au début je n'aimais pas du tout les roses roses, a cause de la voix de Biolay, mais maintenant si finalement... je viens juste de l'écouter, et maintenant c'est plus d'amour....

Moi aussi j'aime tout l'album avec un gros coup de cœur pour Station Quatre Septembre dès la première écoute !:love2:

Station 4 septembre, je n'aime que la version live. La version studio, je la trouve trop plate.

Mon coup de coeur c'est " plus d'amour ", j'ai souvent les larmes aux yeux quand je l'écoute, tout comme " la chanson des vieux cons"( surtout la dernière phrase).

Cet album valait le coup d'attendre 6 ans !!!

Ah, un point où nous sommes d'accord, mon coup de cœur c'est aussi "Plus d'amour" et elle me provoque beaucoup d'émotion. C'est vrai que l'attente n'a pas été vaine !!

Tu pars comme on revient , j'ai flashé dès l'extrait sur Itunes , apparemment je suis la seule!
Station 4 Septembre , la version live est la chanson la plus ecoutée de mon iphone hihi
Tu vois c'que j'vois , va savoir pourquoi sa me fait penser a un bébé qui decouvre la vie , qui apprend a marcher (oui je par loin)
l'au dela :love2: 
Plus d'amour (la voix de Vanessa, les paroles , tout est parfait!)
Les roses roses ( surtout pour les mmh mmh en fond)

Ah, j'aime aussi " tu pars comme on revient ".
En fait, il n'y a que La crème, la reprise en italien, C'est quoi que je n'aime pas. Les autres, j'ai des gros coup de coeur, d'autres que j'adore !!!

Vivement la tournée même si elle me parait encore loin...

Jen Sparrow: on peut être en désaccord mais savoir respecter et écouter l'autre. Hélas, ce n'est pas le cas de tout le monde sur ce forum. Tout comme dans la vie. Dommage.

Ah oui j'aime bien aussi "Tu pars comme on reviens" :)

Pour ma part j'ai un peu l'habitude d'ètre en désaccord avec tout le monde, dans la vie comme sur les forums, alors bon je m'y fais un peu^^

Cool, je me sens moins seule  

On ne peut pas être d'accord tout le temps, mais le respect ça s'apprend.

Si, elle chante " plus d'amour" pendant la tournée, il va falloir que je prépare les mouchoirs !!!

Un article très sympa du Nouvel Obs, qui marque bien le tournant de carrière de VP, en terme de qualité. Et j'adhère bien à ce que la jounaliste raconte en fait :
"Vanessa Paradis, une artiste qui me laisse le plus souvent dubitative. Je n’en avais même à peu près rien à faire jusqu'au jour où j’ai écouté son double album, "Love Songs". Ce n’est pas bien vieux, c’était le 13 mai dernier.
A 40 ans, après quelques égarements discographiques et des tracas à classer dans la rubrique people, Vanessa Paradis se recentre. Adieu -M-, sa coupe de cheveux improbable et ses chansons au sens incertain. La jeune femme a sollicité Benjamin Biolay (également arrangeur de l’ensemble), Mathieu Boogaerts et Michaël Furnon (du groupe Mickey 3D) pour collecter des chansons dignes de ce nom. De là à conclure que Vanessa Paradis est une fausse blonde, il n’y a qu’un pas......"

faut pas exagérer quand même, "après quelques égarement discographiques"... pfff

En route to my rendezvous with Vanessa Paradis in a chic Parisian hotel I spy several posters for the latest British film to play in France. I Give It a Year is a romcom about a newly married couple and their seemingly poor prospects for long-term wedded bliss. The film has been retitled Mariage à l’anglaise for the local market. Is this, I ask Paradis, the French idiom for a short marriage?

'No, no,’ she laughs. 'It’s not a common phrase. But you know what? You know how many things are called “French” in the world that are not French? French fries, French kiss – although I’d love to think that that is French,’ she twinkles.

There is no disputing the Frenchness of Vanessa Paradis, for all of her global fame in the realms of pop music, cinema and modelling. She became an international sensation in 1987 when, aged 14, her winsome pop song Joe le taxi was a worldwide hit (it reached number three in the UK).

Within a couple of years she was an award-winning actress too, taking home a César for her debut film role in Noce blanche (White Wedding). At 16 she worked for the first time with the fashion photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino, a creative partnership that she maintains to this day.

Vanessa Paradis interview
01 Jul 2010

While still in her teens she began modelling for Chanel, the start of a relationship that has lasted, on and off, for more than 20 years. Her first campaign was the memorable 1991 ad in which she was styled as a precious songbird on a perch to promote Coco perfume.

After teenage stardom her adult life was no gilded cage of effortless celebrity. Paradis continued to shoot films and make albums, undertook international concert tours – and raised a family with Johnny Depp, the actor whom she had met in the bar of the chic Hôtel Costes in Paris in 1998. ('I saw those eyes, and boom! My life as a single man was done,’ Depp later recalled.)

They had two children together – Lily-Rose, now 14, and Jack, 11 – but broke up last summer. Now, aged 40 and having recently completed her first ever English-language film, Fading Gigolo (co-starring Woody Allen and directed by the actor John Turturro), she is returning to her true love. This month she releases her first album of new material in six years. Called Love Songs, it features a whopping 22 tracks.

Why, in these short-attention-span times, a double album?

'Because I was so lucky, I guess, to receive such beautiful songs from different musicians, different artists,’ she says. 'And I started to… what was it?’ She frowns, searching her memory. Locating the answer, she claps her hands. 'Three years ago I did my Best of… album. And I was looking for an original song.’ Her French record label put out a call to writers for new songs suited to Paradis’ breathy, intimate singing voice. The offerings flooded in, so many that Paradis stockpiled them for future use. 'Not just good songs, but grand songs,’ she says, her distinctive gap-toothed smile on full display. 'And once you’re in the studio, you try them all. Most of them inspired us very, very much. So at the end, this double album imposed itself on me.’


Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp in 2002 (REX FEATURES)

Paradis likes it when ideas come 'naturellement’, which was the case with the album’s size and its loose concept. 'It’s not a theme, but once I got all the songs, they were all love songs,’ she says. 'So the title of the album wasn’t so difficult.’

So she didn’t give the writers a brief to write her love songs?

'No, no, no, no,’ she says rapidly. 'But that’s what I love to sing the most anyway – love songs. And people love to hear love songs, to find themselves in love songs. It’s reassuring.’ Although, she adds with a laugh, 'sometimes it’s not reassuring at all.’

Most of the songs are in French. But one of the standouts – The Dark, It Comes – was written by Carl Barât, formerly of the British indie band the Libertines. The album’s producer is a friend of Barât, and during recording told Paradis that Barât had a song he wanted to 'propose’ to her.

Being 'such a fan’ of his voice and songs, Paradis thought this was a 'perfect, beautiful’ idea. The song is a duet between warring lovers; he has killed the 'evil harlot’ with whom he has betrayed her. Barât and Paradis, however, have yet to meet; they recorded their vocals separately.

While Barât is based in London, 'I live partly in Paris and partly in Los Angeles,’ Paradis says by way of explaining the scheduling problems. 'But I want to see Carl’s eyes – I want to say thank you. It’s such a powerful song. Even though it’s a sad dispute, it’s a fun song to sing. It was very cinématographique. Do you mind if I smoke?’

Paradis pulls out a packet of Golden Virginia tobacco and some liquorice-flavoured cigarette papers. She may be an international superstar and an exalted fashion muse, but Vanessa Paradis appears very much a roll-her-own kind of woman. She has arrived at the hotel alone, fresh-faced and only fashionably demi-late (30 minutes). She is coolly, calmly stylish: grey boots, tight grey jeans, flowery shirt and a suit-style jacket. Natural and relaxed-looking, if she is wearing make-up, it is so simple as to be invisible.

The official announcement of Paradis and Depp’s split came last June. But rumours concerning the state of their relationship had swirled for some time – fed in part, it must be said, by both parties’ long-term refusal to discuss their relationship publicly.


Paradis, aged 14, singing her hit Joe le taxi, 1987 (REX FEATURES)

In that spirit of putting two and two together and coming up with five, I suggest to Paradis that some observers will scrutinise the album (which is dedicated to her children) for insights into the break-up. They will dig into the words of the partly English-language title track ('I don’t know nothing about love, you know’), for instance, and assume the record is suffused with post-Johnny ideas or sentiments.

'No,’ she smiles, beatifically. 'And I didn’t even write that lyric, so I am all safe.’ She hesitates and stumbles over her words before declaring, 'I would never do an album as a journal. A journal is yours, but music is something to share with people. Everything that has been said or written in the record are such universal ideas that people can relate to and hopefully make them feel good. And I am completely protected there,’ she smiles again, before adding, 'I didn’t write the songs.’

She concedes that 'because my life is public, people always make – what do you call it? – common points?’ She means 'suppositions’. 'They think, “Oh, she sings that because that…” But it’s not that, it’s something that’s way less… thought of [consciously]. We think about it way more when we do interviews because this is your job, to analyse and to explain. But music has something that is less conscious than we think. It’s something that is like a creature that has a different life. There’s so many interpretations that could be made.’

Paradis is of the view that if something is as pure as music, why do we have to question and analyse how it makes the listener feel good? 'It doesn’t matter. You spoil the pleasure by wondering why. “Oh, this cookie is good. Why is it good?” No, you just eat it, it’s good and that’s it. Just enjoy it and the present moment.’ She smiles and slaps her thighs as if to emphasise her point. 'Music is the passport to…’ Paradis searches for le mot juste. 'Peace.’

Because she has been famous since adolescence, Paradis’ early life has been well documented. The daughter of successful interior designers, she made her first television appearance aged eight on a children’s talent show, L’École des fans, and recorded her first single aged 10. After Joe le taxi, the spotlight followed her everywhere.


Paradis with Bruno Cremer in Noce blanche (REX FEATURES)

But once she became a mother, she and Depp worked hard to keep their family life private, maintaining a quiet existence at their homes in the south of France and the Hollywood Hills. Today she is not about to lift the lid on her life post-Depp, but given that she has already said she divides her time between Los Angeles and Paris, I ask if she feels equally at home in both cities.

'No,’ is the immediate reply, 'I feel at home here.’

What does LA feel like?

'LA is… different. It is an amazing place to see for the first time; it’s really a postcard. It does have blue sky all the time – except for the morning, with the pollution – and it does have palm trees, it does have incredible Art Deco buildings and a cinema industry history. I love the schools there too. But my heart belongs here. It’s here that I feel at home. I need seasons. I love it when it rains in LA – it shows that nature takes over.’

Her children are schooled in the US. Do they have American accents? 'No!’ she says, eyes wide, as if to say 'perish the thought’. Lily-Rose has a writing credit on Love Songs. She co-wrote the track New Year, having come up with a melody eight years ago, when she was six. She shares the credits for the song with her mother, father, and with Ruth Ellsworth Carter.

Ellsworth Carter is a remarkable-sounding American – in Paradis’ awestruck words, 'she paints, she sews, she cooks, she writes music, she’s a poet, a real craftswoman.’ Depp first met Ruth and her husband, Bill Carter, when he was shooting What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? (with a very young Leonardo DiCaprio) near Austin, Texas, in 1993. Later, Bill joined Depp in his band P and, even later, Ruth made the pirate trousers that Depp’s Jack Sparrow wears in the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Bill and Ruth are godparents to Lily-Rose and Jack. 'Ruth’s just an amazing woman to know in your life, whether you’re a man or a woman. She’s got such a freedom of thought and such a generosity, and such a beautiful way of putting everything into a piece of art.’

This, it seems, is how Paradis is approaching the fostering of her children’s artistic minds, by surrounding them with inspirational, creative people. Nothing is forced or presumed. For example, she doesn’t make Lily-Rose or Jack practise musical instruments. 'I don’t think it’s a good thing,’ she says. 'Music is something that really comes from the heart and the guts. It’s got to be something that you want to do. I force them to go to school. I force them to brush their teeth. I can’t force them to make music. But,’ she admits, 'it’s a tricky spot for parents right there. I know.’

Lily-Rose, she says proudly, is a 'non-stop singer. And music will always be in their life, in one way or the other. I’m not worried about that.’ Her daughter is now the age Paradis was when she had her first hit single. Has she worked out her strategy should Lily-Rose suddenly decide she wants to follow in her footsteps? Paradis gives a relaxed shrug. 'You know, she’s got such a busy life being a teenager already. So when the question pops up…’ Another shrug. 'I don’t regret the way it happened for me at all. If I had to do it again I’d do it exactly the same way. But I’m in a different position as a parent. And I’d rather for her to have time to be a kid. I mean, she already has such a spotlight on her just because of her parents.’

And if we consider the glare of the spotlight that the teenage Paradis had to endure – and that was in the pre-internet age, and without having famous parents…

'Yeah, but I had a public proposition,’ she interjects, meaning, I think, that in France she was known as a singer from adolescence. 'She’s just a kid, she’s trying to grow up, live her life. It is,’ she repeats, 'tricky.’


On the set of her new film, Fading Gigolo, with Woody Allen (REX FEATURES)

Life must be difficult enough given that her parents are in demand all over the world. This summer Depp is combining promotion of The Lone Ranger (another collaboration with the producers and director of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise) with shooting the sci-fi film Transcendence. Paradis plans on touring her album, is still a face of Chanel, and has recently partnered with H&M’s ethical collection Conscious. The Turturro/Allen film, meanwhile, should be released later this year, and will present, it seems fair to say, a new side of Paradis.

'I play a Hasidic widow who’s a lice lady,’ she says. 'My first day of shooting, I’m in front of Woody Allen, dressed in a wig and turban, and this and that, and I’m trying to get rid of the lice of this beautiful little boy with the biggest afro hair, with a thin nit comb. Talk about obstacles!’ She laughs.

As a parent, she knows all about nits. She holds up four fingers. 'Four times – this year!’

And what about her?

'No! Well…’ She gives a confessional grimace. 'Here and there.’ And with her long hair… 'Well, then it’s even more of a nightmare – can you imagine?’ she grins, making scraping noises and running her fingers through her locks. I hope she kept a comb prop from the new movie, I say.

'No,’ she says, smiling, 'but it’s OK, I have many of them.’

Love Songs is out on July 22

A 40 ans, après quelques égarements discographiques et des tracas à classer dans la rubrique people, Vanessa Paradis se recentre. Adieu -M-, sa coupe de cheveux improbable et ses chansons au sens incertain. La jeune femme a sollicité Benjamin Biolay (également arrangeur de l’ensemble), Mathieu Boogaerts et Michaël Furnon (du groupe Mickey 3D) pour collecter des chansons dignes de ce nom. De là à conclure que Vanessa Paradis est une fausse blonde, il n’y a qu’un pas......"

De M non?

Je ne comprends pas vos questions au sujet de cet article. Elle fait une allusion à M, ses cheveux et ses chansons (elle aime pas c'est sur) et le reste de l'article est bien consacré a VP

Ah !  
J'avais mal saisi la structure de la phrase !

Reste que je ne trouve pas les chansons de -M- plus illisibles que celles de Biolay ou Roussel.

Perso j'aime pas M car je ne supporte pas sa voix sur -aïgue et je ne connais pas ses paroles. Pour Roussel c'est ... crypté, trés crypté mais quand c'est Bashung qui le chante ça reste magique.

Merci pour l'interview!

Cest pas de quelqu'un du tournage de Fading Gigolo dont elle parle pour les poux ?

Environ 120 000 exemplaires veendus pour l'instant!

Oui mais elle dit qu'elle connaît le problème car ses enfants en ont eu 4 fois dans l'année.

Ha oui! J'avais zapper la phrase merci!

C'est du jolie les école huppées de LA!

Oui, bizarre pour des gamins censés être propres sur eux...
