Internet, meet French-born Vietnamese singer Aurélie Nguyen, otherwise known to her mostly French public under the moniker “Little.” Forwarded to me by a co-worker in New Zealand, I’ve had a chance to download sample her album before making an informed decision to purchase, and let me say that her entire album is really solid, if you like the whole edgy pop thing. Je Veux Des Violons is her lead single off her self-titled album, and her vocals kinda remind me of that girl from Sixpence None the Richer, except darker and, you know, en français.
And lest we say that it’s fucking weird to see an Asian girl singing in French, let me remind you about that whole France/Vietnam colonization/war thing for the past two hundred or so years. Not to mention that somewhere, there’s probably a bulletin-board somewhere in eastern Europe saying that it’s weird that a blog exists of Asian people talking actually talking in English. I know, right?
What next?
