Mélanie Pain
Mélanie Pain is mostly known for being the female vocalist in Villeneuve and for being the most prominent singer in Nouvelle Vague. While growing up (and studying politic science) in Aix-en-Provence, Southern France, Mélanie Pain got hooked on Pj Harvey, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Nick Drake...
Once in Paris, she spends her days in a design agency and her nights singing for electro and pop music projects. It is with Villeneuve’s album that Mélanie found her right voice. Sweet and touching with a voice midway between Astrud Gilberto and Kim Deal, Mélanie gains attention on a few tracks for M83 or Goom's label projects.
Nouvelle Vague: When Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux told her about Nouvelle Vague, she
accepted the idea without hesitating. Her version of Tainted Love with Villeneuve was a way for her to experience the pleasure of singing cult songs from a different generation.
Mélanie recorded the song "La Cigarette" for the compilation album Le Pop 4 (released April 2007) Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
