You know what I like better than French music? Francophone artists who can do the English-language thing pretty well too. And if you can bridge genres at the same time...watch out! Quebec's Ariane Moffatt does just that and more with her music; think of her as someone who's a pop artist, though she has a long-standing affair with electronica and alternative. There you go. Itunes featured her as a single-of-the-week a while ago. This is another case of me forgetting what I have in my massive music library. "Too Late" is its name, and goodness is its game.
"Too Late" comes from Ariane's first venture into composing English songs, and I think she does a pretty damn good job of it. You've got a few things here. Interesting instrumentals, complete with what sounds like a steel drum on repeat; lyrics that don't quit (I miss Paris, pornography, your charge on me, I miss the way you used to love me) and vocal prowess. Kind of the complete package, oui? The synths in "Too Late" aren't bad either. So listen, before it is too late.
