乐队资料

法国时尚爵士风乐队——新浪潮乐队（Nouvelle Vague）由两个法国鬼才Marc Collin和Olivier Libaux所组成，他们各自都有自己的音乐演艺事业，Marc作广告、配乐，Olivier作流行音乐戏剧等等.现发行的两张专辑的主唱均为临时找来的歌手。

新浪潮乐队（Nouvelle Vague）以抒情又清新的手法重新演绎了八十年代经典名曲，作品中处处弥漫着一股法国式的Bossa Nova，Chill out味道。该乐队新近迅速窜红，如今已在法国家喻户晓，成为法国独具特色、横跨爵士与流行的大牌乐队。Nouvelle Vague是法语，意为“新浪潮”，在英语中叫做“New Wave”，在葡萄牙语里则为“Bossa Nova”。这是由两个法国鬼才Marc Collin和Olivier Libaux.所组成的音乐出版计划，意图将英国人创造的新浪潮(new wave)经典作品以巴西人的新浪潮(Bossa Nova)方式来演绎。

他们从包括XTC, The Specials, PiL, Dead Kennedys, Depeche Mode, Killing Joke等英国上世纪80年代后朋克时代的著名乐队处借来多首经典曲目，寻来音色甜美的女歌手与他们搭配，除保留原曲的一些基本和弦外，全部以Bossa Nova和六十年代流行乐的形式翻唱。通过巧妙地将这几样南辕北辙的曲风进行融合，最终诞生出的是带有他们独特风格、深具感染力的作品。陌生新鲜的组合加上隽永流长的经典曲目，诞生于巴西的Bossa Nova乐风在法国被演绎出另一种风味，无比的休闲与优雅，慵懒之中藏着绝对至尊的高贵品质。

该乐队同名大碟还没有现世就已经登上多个英国排行榜高位，受到多本权威音乐杂志如《Music Week》、《NME》、《OMM》和《Q》等的一致好评，连时装杂志《GQ》和《Marie Claire》也对Nouvelle Vague的唱片给予极高的评价，将其誉为品位一族必听之选。

2004年，Nouvelle Vague的首张同名专辑《Nouvelle Vague》发行，该专辑一经推出就在世界各地取得极佳的销售成绩，刮起一股难以抵抗的新浪潮风。他们闲适而温婉地以Bossa Nova抑或种种南美曲风，配以一把甜美女声主唱，玩尽一众自来七、八十年New Wave与Post-Punk纪元的经典歌曲。从《Joy Division》到《Depeche Mode》，从《The Clash》到《The Cure》，从《Modern English》到《Tuxedomoon》，其作品都由Nouvelle Vague注释成美不胜收的甜丝丝隽永浪漫小品，毋庸置疑是当年的一大惊艳。也明显二人是听New Wave、Post-Punk、Synth-Pop长大的一群. 结果《Nouvelle Vague》专辑迄今全球己推出了二十万张。

两年后Nouvelle Vague再出击，第二张专辑Bande A Part继续向New Wave / Post-Punk时代的经典作致敬。

Marc和Olivier都是亲身经历过New Wave与Post-Punk时洗礼的一群，为Nouvelle Vague这个Project所改编的歌曲，都是来自二人年轻时代对他们影响深远之乐队的作品。把曾伴随他们成长的作品作重新演绎之余，能够将一首本是赋予低调阴暗或未来派气息的酷歌，改编成充满色彩感与矫节谐和，而带点怀旧意味的Loungecore / Tropicalia歌曲，是Nouvelle Vague的一大主旨。

Nouvelle Vague is a French cover band led by musicians Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux. Their name means "new wave" in French, and refers simultaneously to the French New Wave cinema movement of the 1960s, to the new wave music movement of the 1970s and 1980s, which provides many of the songs that the band cover, and to bossa nova (Portuguese for "new wave"), a musical style that the band frequently uses in its arrangements.

The group's recordings and live performances have featured a large rotating cast of mostly female vocalists. Several of the artists who have performed with the band have also had successful solo careers, including Camille, Phoebe Killdeer, Mélanie Pain, and Nadéah Miranda.

The group's first album, the self-titled ‘Nouvelle Vague’, was released in 2004. Explaining how the project came about, Libaux later said: "Marc Collin and I were both musicians and producers in the French music industry when, in 2003, Marc called me with this very strange idea of covering Love Will Tear Us Apart in a bossa nova version. I thought this idea was absolutely crazy but very exciting. So we decided to get into the studio and try it out as soon as possible. Then we did Just Can't Get Enough and Guns Of Brixton. We put the album together in just eight months. And after that we called ourselves Nouvelle Vague ... and that's the story!"

The songs on the first album were recorded with female vocalists who reportedly had not previously heard the songs they would be covering. Eight singers feature on the album in total, including Camille, who performs four songs, and Mélanie Pain, who sings on two tracks. The album features covers of songs by XTC, Modern English, The Clash, Joy Division, Tuxedomoon, The Cure, and The Undertones. The album was a commercial success, peaking at number 69 in the French album charts and spending a total of 39 weeks in the top 200. In 2006 it was reported that the album had sold more than 200,000 copies worldwide.

The group's second album, ‘Bande à Part’, released in 2006, was again a commercial success. It charted in several European countries, peaking at number 23 in the French album charts, number 15 in the German charts, number 8 in Portugal,and reaching number 79 in the UK Albums Chart.The album includes versions of the Buzzcocks song, "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)", of New Order's "Blue Monday", "The Killing Moon" by Echo & the Bunnymen, "Don't Go" by Yazoo, "Eisbär" by Grauzone, and "Heart of Glass" by Blondie.

In 2008, Collin released an album titled ‘Hollywood’, mon amour, consisting of covers, on the Nouvelle Vague formula, of songs from 1980s film soundtracks. The album includes covers of "Eye of the Tiger" from ‘Rocky III’, and of the song "Footloose" from the 1984 film of the same name. Morcheeba's Skye Edwards performs versions of Duran Duran's James Bond theme song "A View to a Kill", and of Blondie's "Call Me" (which features in the 1980 film ‘American Gigolo’). The actress and singer Juliette Lewis performs a cover of "This Is Not America" (from the 1985 film ‘The Falcon and the Snowman’). The album also features performances by the Israeli-French singer Yael Naim, by the Brazilian musician Cibelle, and by the Australian singer Nadéah Miranda, who toured with Nouvelle Vague for a time. A reviewer wrote of the album, "The results can be more than surprising – who would have thought that Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) could be transformed from nauseating manufactured rubbish into something sultry, smooth and genuinely romantic?"

On 3 Depeche Mode's Martin Gore sings "Master and Servant" with Nouvelle Vague singer Mélanie Pain; Ian McCulloch of Echo & the Bunnymen duet with Pain on "All My Colours"; Marina Celeste performs "Our Lips Are Sealed" with Terry Hall of The Specials and Fun Boy Three; and Magazine's "Parade" is sung by Barry Adamson and Nouvelle Vague's Nadeah Miranda. For additional tracks that did not make the final album, Chris Bailey from Australian rockers The Saints performs a duet, likewise Samy Birnbach of Belgian new-wavers Minimal Compact.

In 2010 the group released an album of French-language covers, Couleurs sur Paris. The album features guest appearances from some well-known musicians, including Vanessa Paradis, Olivia Ruiz, and Cœur de pirate.It also features an appearance by Camille, who returns to perform a version of the song "Putain putain" by the Belgian band TC Matic.

In the same year, the group also released a fifteen-track ‘Best of’ compilation. A special edition version of the compilation features an additional disc of rare and unreleased material.

The band's critical and commercial success peaked with the release of their second album, ‘Bande à Part’. With the release of 3 and ‘Couleurs sur Paris’, critics gave the band less attention.The band subsequently went into hiatus, releasing no new material and performing few live shows. Collin later explained this hiatus, saying, "I was bored of myself doing covers," and citing diminishing critical acclaim: "With the first and second albums, all the media said: ‘This is a great idea, a great rendition’ – and after the third album it was suddenly, ‘OK, it’s always the same thing, the same concept, we don’t want to talk about it'."

In 2016 it was announced that the band would releasing an "anniversary album" and a documentary, to be titled ‘Nouvelle Vague by Nouvelle Vague and Some Friends’. The album is expected to feature "four new remixes of existing material, four previously released covers re-recorded on location with traditional musicians in China, India, Mexico and Hungary, four new covers (provisional picks are tracks by The Ramones, Cocteau Twins, The Associates and Richard Hell) and – wait for it – four original songs."
