Song 'O' the Day

Je Suis Jalouse

by Emily Loizeau

For my nonfrancophone friends, the song title means "I am jealous" in French....and, just for fun, if you replace the z in her name with an s and put an apostrophe after the L, her name translates into "the bird."  Oh, linguistics....simply hours of entertainment.  Anyway, this video has a sort of steampunk feel to it (the cinematography is similar of Coldplay's "Trouble" video) and the storyline is pretty straightforward, but with some quirky twists that only the French can dream up.  I love Emily Loizeau's voice but when I first heard her, it was really difficult to find more samples of her work.  Luckily that has changed -- not alot but you can at least find some more songs on Youtube.  I checked her website and I was rerouted to a page with a bunch of Russian--otherwise, I would've included it.
