I was on You Tube (yes, again!) and watched some videos of an artist I like, Anggun. She is an Indonesian singer/songwriter, who sings in both English and French. I mentioned her in my Snow Playlist post. You can read more about her here. The song I included in the playlist, Snow on the Sahara, is probably her most popular song.
I watched the video for Snow on the Sahara. It was good. Visually interesting, beautiful woman, pretty song...
I generally enjoy what's known loosely as World Music, so when I saw the video for the same song in French, I was thrilled. This version's video was obviously produced for a non-American market.
What do you think? I think at some point, I just stopped listening to the song and started to try to figure out the video (which I didn't). What kind of message was that anyway? I need to show it to Countrymouse next time he
Wow. Totally feeling that song. I only got to listen to the first 35 seconds (I'm in a rush to get to bed!) but I am totally going to finish listening to it tomorrow. And she's completely stunning!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, I really am glad you took a chance on Atmosphere! Slug is a wonderful storyteller. I hope you'll listen to more, and stop by my blog again sometime!
I enjoy your music posts. I rarely have time to go exploring for new music myself, so it's nice to have someone else do it for me!
ReplyDeleteI actually like the song more in French! Also, she reminds me of an Asian Cher. Also? That French video sort of weirded me out!
