Rated 4/5
Review by simonclicks Aug 09, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
You take simply some old successful "new waves" tracks, you rearrange them with some nice "bossa nova" flavour, you add some nice and sexy voices and it gives you the "nouvelle vague" concept. Some can be really irritated by the commercial idea behind it.... But I have to say... It definitely works! Lovely!
