Zaza Who is it called? Mademoiselle Fournier, for sure, Paris 26 years of age. Zaza, it may also - at least in the case of the undisciplined singer and accordionist - the feminine of Zazou. In the late 1930s, "reject colorful wildlife" swing "of the Tout-Paris", as defined by bourgeois at the time, strolling to their wavy hair Pam Pam Coliseum or on the Champs-Elysees. Wick front, red lips and pin-up rockabilly look, belligerent new customs, Zaza Zazous transposes the 21st century: "What do you feel when I'm talking with your cousin?

Zaza Who is it called? Mademoiselle Fournier, for sure, Paris 26 years of age. Zaza, it may also - at least in the case of the undisciplined singer and accordionist - the feminine of Zazou. In the late 1930s, "reject colorful wildlife" swing "of the Tout-Paris", as defined by bourgeois at the time, strolling to their wavy hair Pam Pam Coliseum or on the Champs-Elysees. Wick front, red lips and pin-up rockabilly look, belligerent new customs, Zaza Zazous transposes the 21st century: "What do you feel when I'm talking with your cousin? What if it t'fait j'danse with your boyfriend? What does it t'fait if I sleep with the neighbor? What do you say if I told everything to Natalie? What are you drinking? I want the same thing as you. " Times have changed, feminism has been there and Zaza is passed to the Strawberry Vodka. She gets drunk while watching the ice dancing at the bottom of the glass. His head turns, it reflects a shipwreck on a humorous dance music resort. "A kind of hyper-realism," says the woman. Zaza Fournier has a keen gift: the immediate result, with direct words: bed, kidneys, chair, glasses, soap, knees, shivering ..., combining both critical distance and freedom. It shall provide the instinct, a quality worked during a tour of two hundred dates in eighteen months, including "170 alone on stage with an accordion and an iPod," without a net, she said. "I lived this as just" writing on the job, on the road - look at me the song was composed for a concert scale. It was at the house Zaza Fournier was produced. It was at the house Look at me was matured and expanded, thanks to a one-on-one with a new instrument, an organ buttons, very present on the disk. Rare vintage piece from the 1970s, this Cavagnolo, "the same brand as my accordion," was the first electronic organ keyboard accordion. "It's a strange hybrid toy, with a warm to Ray Charles, sensual, playful, but electrified" with its lines as electronic percussion, keyboards, bass, etc.. "This instrument makes it completely independent, said Zaza, a passion for" all the variations of the accordion. " As the song is sweet, concocted by Zaza in the privacy and organ-accordion, is ready and arrived into the hands of his accomplices Jack and arrangers Rob. This keyboard has a modern and unique sound, carefully served the paradox of the Zaza Zazou, both feet in this head in the future, one eye on the past, and a heart alchemist. Born in Paris, grew up in the Oise, student theater, Zaza Fournier, author, composer, performer, studied violin before trying on the accordion at the age of 19. Her singing career began by chance summoned by his drama teacher to improvise on a theme boat but basic ("What is man, what's a woman?"), She sings a song she co-wrote just for fun with her aunt's life together. His accomplices in music, Jack Lahana (including director Brigitte Fontaine, The Bride ...) and multi-instrumentalist Rob (keyboardist of the group Phoenix, author of film music, he continues as a solo project Dodecalogue ...), make it the single Zaza Fournier, charming first album where Elvis Presley is affected finger. Jack Lahana and Rob continued experience (production & arrangements), based on the guitars and drums Nico Bug Raphael Seguinier. Singer was expected to teasing, birds sidewalks of Paris after the war, but now in his wanderings, Zaza was accompanied by the complete songs of Roy Orbison, the author of Blue Bayou, guitarist and interprets major 1960s. Zaza also listened to Christopher, when Aline and The Lost Paradise, with their prose and cheeky teenager dose to l'âme vague because "these 15 years that what we feel is beautiful and rare" pass the speed of light. It was seized by the feeling that "what was no longer". The new nostalgia (My brother, Mom, written for his mother), has not yet begun to sensual indulgence and optimism that had been strong brand Zaza Fournier. Look at me, his lead designer on the scene in a more rock, with a group rather than alone, indicates that the younger generation which came from Zaza and his musicians listened and built almost unconsciously all the rhythmic revolutions of the past century: the twist, rockabilly and Adriano Celentano (Happy Birthday) ... love rhythms that pack. Zaza is a neo-yéyé (What do you feel?, 15), a roots rocker (Johnny Darling), a shameless love (Look at me). His characters are made over the sensations. Citing a Zaza Fournier and through references in Latin, calypso, mambo, Zaza Fournier modernizes a time, the 1960s, where no-worries are not idiots so far, where the guitar reverb, chorus and doo- wap served as the setting for the songs playing on the blues to the soul like velvet. Zaza Fournier recalls the aesthetics of Cry Baby, the teen movie by John Waters and relies on the rockabilly muses, "because it was super sexy, funny and all those guys who did their hair and banana s 'dressed in tight leather pants knew practice second degree. Elvis could play with his image, with hindsight. ". It was a time when "the plug has blown." Zaza has revisited the French song, and now what will she do? Disrupt what should be. Have fun with doo-wap chorus, dancing with her boyfriend hybrid accordion and singing. ....read less
