About Renan Luce
French singer-songwriter Renan Luce was born in Paris in 1980. He spent his childhood and teenage years in Bretagne, learning to play piano, then saxophone and finally guitar, and writing a first couple of songs. He moved to Paris in the early 00s and began playing regularly, eventually catching attention of Universal Publishing's Olivier Lefebvre. He quickly obtained a regular opening act opportunity with Bénabar, whose songwriting recipe was actually lyrically quite close. A first album, Repenti, was released in late 2006, displaying Luce's personal palette of inspiration, ranking from close-to-rebel intonations to everyday life sensitive observations. Renan Luce began touring intensively and Repenti sold well, though very progressively, reaching a peak in early 2008, with the late mass success of its lead single. Since 2006, Luce's work had earned him many awards and nominations. He received the Académie Charles-Cros price in 2007 and both Best breakthrough album' and Best breakthrough live act' Victoires de la musique in 2008. ~ Olivier Duboc, All Music Guide

Girls Sugababes |
| By roping in credible producers such as Richard X and peppering their songs with up to the minute electro touches, Sugababes have managed to create songs that appealed as much to the cynical music press as it did to teenage girls. Throw in a revolving door line up and a media fascination with the bands perceived moodiness and you have a recipe for the most successful girl band of the new millennium. However on "Girls", a cover of Ernie K-Does early R&B classic "Here Comes The Girls", The "Babes" lack any of the inventiveness that made singles such as "Freak Like Me" and "Push The Button" so enjoyable. As countless artists have proved over the years, there's nothing wrong with uncovering a hidden gem and putting your own spin on things; Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" springs to mind as a good example. However, you can't help thinking that The Sugababes' producers have hardly been "diggin' in the crates" to uncover "Here Come The Girls" since it has been used extensively by Boots over the last couple of years to sell beauty products. Throw in a few predictable Mark Ronson style horn riffs and you have a sub Atomic Kitten mess that tarnishes a lot of the bands efforts to be taken seriously. | |
