NEW MUSIC: JENNY CANTO
New French pop singer-songwriter Jenny Canto gets a makeover by minimal techno artist SpenceGabor in his HedNorton guise. Score draw results.
This comes across as rather like Carla Bruni’s work (which is not meant as a slag-off; Carla’s poppier stuff can be pretty good) but with a bit of extra bass. It’s good to have a remix where the vocals haven’t been vocodered to hell but the reggae guitar that features early on is plain annoying – it only gets interesting later on when remixer SpenceGabor (previously here) moves further away from the original track into proper minimal techno territory. The blurb says “Her debut single, Me La Couler Douce, will be released by New York City-based record label ModyWorks in the Spring of 2009. In this reggae-infused pop song Miss Canto is urging us to let our hair down and get in touch with our inner child.” which makes me rather glad that my French isn’t good enough to understand the lyrics.
“Me La Couler Douce” will be in stores May 15th, as an iTunes Exclusive.
