Brigitte
By Sophie Cameron
French retro-glam duo Brigitte present their new album, À bouche que veux-tu, to Barcelona this month. Composed of singers Sylvie Hoarau and Aurélie Saada, the act are known for their unique blend of French cabaret, ‘70s funk, hippie rock and lounge-pop, all delivered with a certain Gallic glamor inspired by the Brigittes of yesteryear - Brigitte Bardot, former porn actress Brigitte Lahaie, et al.
The pair’s third release after Encore (2011) and the platinum-certified Et vous, tu m’aimes? (2008), À bouche que veux-tu is a slick, stylish combination of retro beats, catchy hooks and sultry vocals, earning the duo another top 10 hit in France upon its release last November. Having recently performed as far afield as Laos, Singapore and Israel, Brigitte are currently seducing crowds around Europe before embarking on a marathon tour of France for the summer.
