Vanessa Contenay-Quinones
Salut! First up is Vanessa's solo project and it's all about the 'Vanessa presents Allez Pop' album coming out November 22nd. The 'Allez Pop' record began with Vanessa's 60's french pop podcasts a while back (available on itunes) which turned into a DJ set called 'Allez Pop!' and then became a fully fledged writing and recording situation when she hooked up with french pop fans Alex Rizzo & Elliot Ireland (aka Skeewiff) in London last summer and started to put down some new songs the old fashioned way.    Music Playlist at MixPod.com All analogue recordings live in the studio right down to the 60's spring reverbs, vintage guitars and farfisa organs! Although intended for movie soundtracks the project has developed a life of it's own with one of the first songs from the sessions 'Bon Bon Bon' already appearing in summer box office hit 'Killers' aka 'Kiss & Kill' (link below) and other tracks like 'Magnifique', 'Pourquoi Pas', 'Quand Tu Me Dis', 'Oddyssee' and 'Pres De Toi' licensed to french pop compilations worldwide, including China! It seemed a good idea to pull all the tracks together as an LP. The album is 'Vanessa presente Allez Pop!' and will be released by Pedigree Cuts UK on November 22nd!. The first single 'Bon Bon Bon' is already available in iTunes so....Alleeeez Pop les copains!!! Buy 'Bon Bon Bon' from iTunes! Link to Pedigree Cuts |
