Nouvelle Vague was co-founded in 2003 by French musician\/producer duo Olivier Libaux and Marc Collin. Their creative alliance produced the unique concept that served as the catalyst for Nouvelle Vague\u2019s debut album, to bring in various female vocalists who had no prior knowledge of the songs they\u2019d be covering. This idea allowed them to \u201cforget the initial punk or new wave background of each song,\u201d making way for a novel reinterpretation inspired by 50\u2019s\/60\u2019s bossa nova, with a light cabaret swing and hints of the Caribbean. Now, after five albums and over 1,000 shows across the globe, Nouvelle Vague is celebrating its 20th anniversary by offering a fresh take on a goth rock classic.

\u201cNight Shift\u201d crept its way onto Siouxsie and the Banshees\u2019s 1981 album,\u00a0Juju<\/em>, allegedly inspired by the sexually sadistic serial killings of the Yorkshire Ripper, Peter Sutcliffe. Nouvelle Vague draw on the song\u2019s darker elements by infusing their signature style into Siouxsie\u2019s original recording. This sultry single elicits a feeling of uncanny, Hitchcockian anticipation, as the false sense of security created by the feminine, velvet-cloaked melody is eroded by surreptitious minor arpeggiations and bossa nova breakdown. Their transformative reimagination of this darkwave classic is equal parts delicate, decadent, and dangerously enticing, embodying the furtive essence of a femme fatale.
