It always feels great to find new artist. Today I found Mylene Farmer. Grazy. Wikipedia tells me she has sold more than 45 million albums. It’s all about the language barrier which affects everything. For example her videos beat everything else on YouTube in how explicit they are. Take Libertine as an example:
Sex sells? I disagree. This would not sell if the video would lack “art form” and if the music would be something else than perfect pop. Kate Ryan has performed some remakes. Compare Libertine here:
Cheaper video, no content. Passes all censors but looks uninteresting. Music is more upbeat, and technically perhaps more polished and pervasive. Like pretty much all “art form” today: a quick cover-up. Tastes good though…
