INTRODUCING ALIZÉE!!!!!!

January 4, 2001

Hello my fellow international music listeners! So anyone who pays a little bit of attention to the international music scene will know the name Alizée. But for those of you who may not be too familiar with the new French music sensation, allow me to introduce you to her. Alizée is a French pop artist from the Corsica, which is an island off the shore of France in the Mediterranean (I had to look up where it was). She gained fame from participating in the French music show Graines de Star in 1999. Soon after, she began to record music. So Alizée, only 16 years old, has conquered the French with her first album Gourmandises and now is on her way to taking over EUROPE! As a fan of foreign pop music, Alizée has definitely caught my eye.  Alizée’s music is the perfect "teenage" pop music. Her smooth voice combined with a fun techno beat is a combination that you will remember. If you have watched her video, you will definitely be struck by how young she really is. Just like our American Pop Princess Brittney Spears, she is young but she can definitely put on a show.  

 

And yes, this French singer sings most of her songs in French. To some people (especially Americans), listening to music with lyrics in another language is pointless, but to me Alizée’s light voice is given an even bigger advantage by singing in French. It adds a certain element of..... Romance. So yes I would definitely recommend her French music to any English speaker (Yes that includes you). So here is Alizée's biggest single Moi Lolita on her debut album Gourmandises. Let me know what you think of it! I must say I love it! Maybe she will be one of the rare European talents that gain recognition in the States!
