How And Why
The iconic voice of Nouvelle Vague for 20 years, MĂ©lanie Pain continues her unique solo career, blending pop, folk, and intimate poetry. After three albums acclaimed for their delicacy, she returns with How and Why, a luminous and strippeddown fourth opus. Raw folk music centered on acoustic guitar, without artifice—and that unique voice: soft, deep, elegant. Recorded live with her long-time musicians, the album draws inspiration from Kings of Convenience, Iron & Wine, and EmilĂana Torrini. Nine tracks in English, ranging from emotion to melancholy to rebirth, featuring a hypnotic duet with Brian Lopez (Calexico) and a sensual cover of Duman in Turkish. A sunny and peaceful album, the perfect showcase for MĂ©lanie's voice and words.
