Single Review
The French duo NOUVELLE VAGUE has made a good reputation for themselves by re-modelling old New Wave and Punk classics and soon will release their third album with the apt title ‘3’ via Sony Music. But as it’s still a few weeks to go to the album release they’re sending out a single appetizer with ‘Master & Servant’. OK, a cover version of a DEPECHE MODE song; that doesn’t sound like too much of a spectacular thing to do. I thought the same before but who ever knew what they would do with the song. It’s like an obscure mix of folk and a bit of Bossa Nova with an enticing female vocalist with a French accent singing over it. But the icing on the cake is Martin L. Gore, DEPECHE MODE’s main song writer, doing the backing vocals. That’s how I like remixes or re-works. Going in a different musical direction than the original material even if a somewhat surprising one! Curious now what the upcoming album might hold? Me too!
