In MISS METEORES, Olivia Ruiz's third album, the young French songwriter seems more in control than ever of her artistic persona, and clearly cherishing every bit of her liberation from the shadow of her STAR ACADEMY fame. For starters, she wrote all the lyrics for her new album, as well as co-writing most of the music with longtime partner Mathias Malzieu. Ruiz enthusiastically tries her hand at everything in MISS METEORES, verging from French chanson to hard rock, or from blues to calypso and folk, as well as singing in three languages and featuring several guests from all across the board: Austrian folk outfit Lonely Drifter Karen, rapper Toan, French rock group Coming Soon, Christian Olivier from T tes Raides, the Noisettes, and even members of her own family.
Rovi
フランスで活動する才女が5年ぶりに3作目を完成。レトロな空気を演出するジャグ調からヘヴィーなギター・ロックまで、多彩な音楽性は健在だ。ディオニソスが全面参加しているほか、実父ディディエ・ブランやロンリー・ドリフター・カレンのタンヤ・フリンタとの可憐なデュエット、ヒューマン・ビートボックスを盛り込むなど一筋縄ではいかない不思議な音世界! このフリーキーな仕上がりは病みつき必至ですぞ。
