上两张专辑在商业上的成功，不但没有令Nouvelle Vague故步自封，反而搞搞新意思，邀来一众歌曲原作者在专辑内献声，所以我们既会听到Melanie Pain和Depeche Mode的Martin Gore合唱DM经典作〈Master and Servants〉，也有Nadeah Miranda和前Magazine成员Barry Adamson翻唱一曲〈Parade〉。一如Melanie Pain的个人专辑，音乐上《3》不只有乐队擅长玩奏的Bossa Nova，也渗进了Folk、Country、Bluegrass的元素，不过歌曲甜美依然。《3》绝对是炎炎夏日的消暑妙品。 (博客来) Nouvelle Vague, the French band that conquered the world with bossa nova covers of punk and new wave classics, return in time for summer with their third album “3”. Led by producer/arrangers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux and sung by a revolving cast of chanteuses, the group’s first two albums, Nouvelle Vague (2004) and Bande A Part (2006) have sold well over half-a-million copies. Not wishing to tinker with this winning formula, but evolving all the same, Nouvelle Vague “3” picks up where Bande A Part left off, and this time they’re performing duets with the original singers. The other way NV3 differs from its predecessors is in the arrangements of the songs. Aside from the reggae and bossa nova interpretations, the songs are also inspired by country music and bluegrass. For this is what they do best; they take the songs that you adore and make you fall in love with them all over again.
