A while
ago I was watching the movie Dead Man
Down starring Colin Farrell. The movie itself is not very special, with a
cliché story of a man seeking retribution on a crime lord for destroying his
life. However in one scene (and this is not really a spoiler) the lead actress,
Noomi Rapace, sits in her room crying after being turned down and turns on her
radio. It was at this point that I forgot about the mediocre plot of the movie
and goose bumps started spreading across my arms. The raw voice of the singer
cut straight through my heart.
After
finishing the movie I immediately started looking for the name of the song.
Luckily IMDB shows which soundtracks are used in a movie, so in no-time I found
out that the song was called Éblouie Par
la Nuit performed by Zaz.
Zaz
(real name Isabelle Geffroy) is a French singer who combines chansons
with clear jazz influences. Besides the slow more serious songs like Si she also makes happier up-tempo songs
like Comme ci comme ça.
For more
music look on her official YouTube channel.
