-M- is coming to Lebanon on the 17th of October

Has anyone been to any of his concerts ?

^^ Why does he have that vampire-like aesthetics? Is it an allusion to the film M (that one based on the crimes of the Vampire of Düsseldorf)?

Exactly who I recommend. I just downloaded her 2010 album Bleu Noir and it's like the French Britney, Gaga, Madonna all in one with electronic music thrown in for size.

ZAZ is beautiful music. She's kind of french Jazz but with a pop sound. The song I'd listen to first would be Je Veux

The name of the song is "Visions" from his `94 album "Rêve Sidéral D'Un Naïf Idéal".
