I can't tell you how excited I am to feature Melanie Pain on Daily Imprint. I went to see her perform last Wednesday when she was in Sydney previewing her soon-to-be-released CD My Name at the Oxford Art Factory. I was a big fan of Nouvelle Vague and then became besotted after seeing them perform live - it really was THE BEST gig I've ever been to. I was about eight months pregnant and couldn't stop dancing - perhaps not the image you want in your head - but you get the idea: it was so much fun. Some of the best songs performed that night were by Melanie. She has the softest, prettiest French accent when she sings. It's so sweet and sexy - in the way that only French women can do. And when she sings in English, it's just irresistible. You must check her music out. You'll love it, I'm sure.
PS If anyone can tell me how to post videos onto blogspot (from YouTube, etc), I'll be eternally grateful.
