NOUVELLE VAGUE
NOUVELLE VAGUE
It was in 2004, at the height of the French Touch, that the Parisian collective, led by Marc Collinand Olivier Libaux, released its first album, takingitsoriginal concept worldwide: New Wave = Bossa Nova = Nouvelle Vague. Punk and New Wave "standards" are thus reinterpreted in the dreamy style of 50s and 60s BossaNova, with its lush arrangements and entrancing vocals. Nouvelle Vague soon became a global phenomenon. In just a few months, Nouvelle Vague deconstructed the notion of "the cover band" and, supported by some of the most prestigious labels (Peacefrog, Luaka Bop, Rough Trade, Pias), delights anaudience that almost forgets the original versions.
Enjoy the Silence is the new single from the forthcoming Nouvelle Vague’s album A Date with Depeche Mode, featuring Skye Edwards and Larry Love, It is without a doubt the best-known song by Depeche Mode - and the first one that established itself for the upcoming album. The emblematic voice of Morcheeba receives the classic Nouvelle Vague treatment: bossa nova, chanson française, and a melody that ultimately only needed to be stripped bare to reveal its full power and beauty.
