Claire Denamur's "Bang bang bang" features an hypnotic twanging guitar, a country music-influenced rhythm and a simple, catchy chorus, which should all go a fair way to making it a hit.
Claire Denamur (screenshot from official clip)Even before its release it had been receiving a fair amount of airplay, and should get something of a boost when the recording Denamur made for the television music show Taratata is broadcast in October.
The 27-year-old apparently spent a chunk of her childhood in the States and that has heavily influenced her music and style described as, "characterised by very text-based gender relations and intimate country folk acoustic music sung with a slightly rough and ready - or 'broken' - voice."
Of the quality of her voice, she's quoted as saying in a recent article about her music in the national daily Libération, "It's that of a heavy smoker who knows the joys of bourbon!"
And that's not too far off the mark.
Distinctive? Yes.
Unpleasant? Most definitely not.
And very Blues.
Plus she write her own material which has to be the mark of a true "artiste" doesn't it?
"Bang, Bang, Bang" is the first track to be released from her second album "Vagabonde" - also well worth a listen.
Check out a review of that album on the French radio station France Inter and zap over to her official website for concert dates.
In the meantime, here's "Bang, bang, bang".
Cool video.

"Bang Bang Bang" is worth listening for. I think the producers did an awesome job in the track. "Vagabond" is an awesome track as well.
