Due to an awesome comment left a few days ago here at TWF I have had the pleasure of being introduced to a great artist. Coeur de Pirate may sing in a language I understand very little of but her music is quite universal. To be honest I think the self titled album Coeur de Pirate is better than a lot of debut eponymous albums I’ve heard to date. If I was forced to offer up a glib little review this is all I have to say. Take your favorite parts of the Regina Spektor canon {leaving out all the annoying bits}, put them with french vocals, and play that fantasy out for a full half hour.
mp3 : Coeur de Pirate - Comme des Enfants
mp3 : Coeur de Pirate - C’etait Salement Romantique
Trust me when I say that if you like these two tracks you’ll simply love the rest of the album. It really is that good, Canadians seem know what they’re doing. And special thanks to the daring soul who was courageous enough to leave a suggestion. You should thank them too.

most incredible thing i’ve ever seen!
But I *lurve* ReSpekt! Annoying bits?
@Jon - i honestly can’t stand about 1/3 of regina spektor’s songs. they’re just too… annoying.
Very nice blog, and very nice suggestions, I love going into the internet to find a tune and stumble with yet another interesting blog to read.
Kudos!
it’s like regina and feist had a baby and it was amelie! joyous and lovely. and regina’s quirks are incredibly creative and force one to listen…sort of the point of art, to tell a story. annoying…not so much:)
