Nouvelle Vague
About
Nouvelle Vague is a French musical collective founded in Paris in 2003 by producers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux, built around bossa nova and lounge reinterpretations of post-punk and new wave classics. A rotating cast of mostly female vocalists - among them Camille, Mélanie Pain, Phoebe Killdeer and Élodie Frégé - gives each cover its own identity, since singers were deliberately chosen for their unfamiliarity with the originals. The debut album (2004) sold over a million copies worldwide and launched a career spanning six studio records and relentless global touring. Co-founder Olivier Libaux died in September 2021; Marc Collin has continued the project, releasing the 20th-anniversary album "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" in 2024.
