Alizée...and your new release

Alizée...I was thinking...
oh no, here we go again...

Without knowing much about the new album we still have a little wiggle room to speculate...and this mornings speculation is this. What will the single be that is released?

I feel comfortable saying there will be a song in Spanish, I think that is a safe bet. Oh yeah I see all your heads moving up and down, good. So, going on that assumption, will that be the single that is released?

Some thoughts thrown against the wall:

Will the single be....

An upbeat song or a ballad?
If all songs were in French I would definitely say upbeat.
But if the Spanish song is a ballad....

That leads to the bigger question
Do you release the Spanish song as 'The Single'

We know two things about the album, the subject matter is to relate to Edie Sedgwick and one song is to be in Spanish.

Out of those two items, which has your finger ready to click on the iTune purchase button.
I would just love to hear Alizée sing about Edie, or...
I would just love to hear Alizée sing a song in Spanish.

Yes, we love the Edie story and idea of a concept album is interesting we, well I anyway, kind of can not wait to hear "the sound" of the Spanish song. (more on a concept album at the bottom of the post)

So what do you release? Do you release a French song? Will we be saying yeah yeah that is nice but what about the Spanish song Alizée? Do you release the Spanish song first and does that have any implications at "home".

More on the Spanish song...
Is it just a Spanish song? or..
Is it a French song with a Spanish version? Sort of like what Shakira did with She Wolf, it came out as La Loba but has the related English version. (keeps everyone happy I think)

To release the Spanish song first or not, that is what is on my mind this morning.

Now some thoughts on the "concept album".
I am not going to post any links here but you can google "concept album" and read some articles on it. What it is all about to articles on the return of the concept album.

But...there was a concept album that Alizée talked about. She did not call it a concept album but it is described as such. I wonder...did she put together a concept album based on this format??? I do wonder now that it has crossed my mind.

OH...the name...for you to ponder too...sure...Serge Gainsbourg's

THE HISTORY OF MELODY NELSON

What if they sat down and created a similar version 'The History of Edie Sedgwick' ?
Check out The History of Melody Nelson here

In the magazine article Alizée mentioned how she and Jeremy enjoyed listening to that album...hmmmm
Anyone want to link that magazine article up, go for it.

Interesting speculation. My guess is the first single will be an upbeat French song. I think her main goal is to win over her home country again. The Mexican fans, (as well as all the international fans) are already accustomed to Alizée singing in French, so they would accept this with no problem.

She may never release the Spanish song as a single, unless it is only in Mexico.

Nice catch Lefty, I was assuming the Spanish song was going to be a released single. You are right, it may not.
