与当代的歌手相比较,Coralie Clement的声音更接近60年代的法国流行歌手Jane Birkin 和Francoise Hardy,并且带着Astrud Gilberto的Bossa Nova的味道,仿佛可以清楚听到每一次呼吸的节奏。
Coralie Clement在2002年发行了她的第一张专辑----Salle Des Pas Perdus. 这张专辑中的一半功劳应该属于Coralier的哥哥Benjamin Biolay,他创作编排了所有的曲子,并且还参与了背景音乐的演奏。
Coralie出生于法国Villefranche-sur-Saone的一个音乐家庭里。因此她在三岁前已经可以分辨出交响乐团所有乐器的声音,五岁开始学习音乐理论,六岁开始拉小提琴。然而她却从来没想过自己要当一位歌唱家。 她的青少年时期是听着Serge Gainsbourg, Birkin, Hardy, the Beatles, and, oddly, Vanessa Paradis渡过的。她称自己为哥哥的狂热追随者。她学会了哥哥作的所有曲子,并且开始重新演绎它们,经她演绎的曲子渗透着感性的忧伤和不羁的味道。 后来一次巴黎旅游途中,当Biolay偶然漫不经心地弹出自己的曲子时,Coralie和着琴声唱起哥哥写的歌,直到这时Biolay才发现了妹妹的天份。 他录下了这段音乐,随后Coralie发行了她的第一张专辑。
Coralie Clement的音乐始终弥漫着浓浓的法式香颂味道,Bossa Nova + Smooth Jazz + 60年代的French Pop,Serge Gainsbourg遇上Jane Birkin或是Bebel Gilberto而合作的唱片,这也许就是Coralie Clement的音乐能带给你的感觉。
Sounding more like such classic '60s French pop vocalists as Jane Birkin and Francoise Hardy - distilled with the breathy bossa nova of Astrud Gilberto -- than her contemporaries, Coralie Clément released her first album in 2002, Salle des Pas Perdus. The record is a collaborative effort between her and author/composer/performer - and Coralie's brother - Benjamin Biolay, who wrote and arranged all of the 12 songs. Born into a musical family in Villefranche-sur-Saone, France, Coralie could identify all of the instruments of the orchestra by the age of three, studied musical theory at five, and at six, she took up the violin. She never considered herself to be a singer, though. She spent much of her adolescent years listening to the records of Serge Gainsbourg, Birkin, Hardy, the Beatles, and, oddly, Vanessa Paradis. Calling herself a "groupie" of her brother's, she learned all of his compositions, and she began to reinterpret his songs, imbuing his poetic ballads with both a sensual melancholy and playfulness. It wasn't until a much later Paris visit with Biolay that he found this out, when she began to sing his songs back to him as he strummed. He recorded this informal session, and her first record ensued.
