  Nouvelle Vague

  Nouvelle Vague (France) is a project created by French musicians Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux.

  20 years after the release of its first eponymous album, which has since become

  a classic, the French group Nouvelle Vague is back!

  More than covers, Nouvelle Vague has been reinventing post-punk classics since

  the early 2000s, retaining their melancholy while infusing them with an air of

  bossa nova, revealing along the way singers who have become iconic such as

  Camille, Phoebe Killdeer, Melanie Pain or Elodie Frege.

  The group is released their new album, “Should I Stay Or Should I Go?” on February 16, 2024. And to go along with its 20th anniversary, Nouvelle Vague is on a massive

  world tour in 2024 and 2025.

  Nadeah

  Starting out as a Parisian street busker at age 18, Australian born songstress Nadéah Miranda has built quite a name for herself on the European music scene, best known for her spontaneous stage shows and eclectic repertoire. After a chance meeting with guitarist Art Menuteau while busking outside a Paris cafe, the pair immediately starting writing together and moved to the UK where she became the punk guitar-wielding front-woman with alt rock UK group, the loveGods. 

  They built a strong and loyal fanbase which resulted in them winning Radio One’s best unsigned band as well as playing Glastonbury twice before Nadeah was forced to return to Paris (she was officially kicked out of the UK for two years). She then fronted  'French Touch’ collectives, Nouvelle Vague, touring with them for three years and performing at UK’s Glastonbury Festival again as well as Henry Fonda Theatre (Los Angeles) and London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall before going solo. 

  Renowned for her irreverence for genre and mesmerising stage presence, the Australian songstress has supported artists as diverse as Tame Impala, Nick Cave, Franz Ferdinand, Mick Jones (The Clash), The Do, Damian Rice and James and has worked with various producers including Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey, Bat for Lashes ), Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague) and Grammy award winning classical composer Nicola Tescari.

  “I like all kinds of music - hip, hop, country, folk, psychedelic rock, electro, classical. I don’t see why artists should have to limit themselves to playing one style. We are the playlist-making, Spotify-wielding shuffle generation and that’s a good thing. I’d get bored if I had to play 20 versions of pretty much the same song every night. Maybe it's less marketable but it’s a lot more fun and freedom is what music is about.”

  Nadeah's most recent single Où Es Tu? is out 29 May 2020 on Kwaidan records under the name Nadeah and Beki.

  She currently lives between Paris, France and Melbourne, Australia.
