Izïa Punk/Soul/Rock
rating: 8/10
She only is 18 years old and sings like a diva or should I say like Janis Joplin. This young woman, a famous french writter’s daughter, Jacques Higelin, doesn’t seem to be impressed by all this rock'n'roll spiral where magazines place her as a reference in the french rock. Normal, in France, the rock doesn’t exist, we have some arrogant assholes who pretend to be the new Beatles, so I understand that Izïa is a hopefulness for us. She has a hot rock'n'roll voice, and through the 12 tracks of her first album, that I find catchy and dynamic, I see a new generation inspired by the old generation trying to bring back memories of what was musically good before our birth. Actually Hannah Montana, Avril Lavigne ( aka the barbie doll on a skateboard) and other shits in the same kind bug me because according to crappy musical journalists, to grab a guitar and to play with it, means to be a fucking rock superstar with a rebel touch on nails. Fuck that shit, I thank Izïa for existing. One of her tracks, called « life is going down » is an improvisation she did in a cabaret bar with one of his father’s friend who's bassist, and she only was 14 years old. That’s one of my favourite songs among the track list where songs are made of ripeness that I salute for her age. I wasn’t bothered at all to listen to her album, It’s so damn’ good for ears and mood, that It reminds me of Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin. But I insist to tell that she has her own style, even on stage she is like possessed and she offers to her public a unique experience.

Wow, awesome update Coralie! I hadn't heard of Izia until now. I just watched the video you linked to and she's REALLY good. I'll have to check out her music soon. She has a style that's all her own yeah. Keep up the great reviews!
Great review, Coralie! I hadn't heard of this artist before. I like her; it will be interesting to see how her style develops as she matures.
nice job, cor. i think she has a great start, got talent and she plays rock, which is always a plus for me too. i agree with PF, he said exactly what i wanted to.
F*cking finally! Cool review! I didn't know about her either and I'm afraid I never want to hear from her again. x)
She really does have that Janis Joplin twang to her voice. Interesting.
I agree she's really good, but I think she needs a different band. That one just seems like it's not a good match because she's organic and soulful, and they just seem cold and bland to my ears.
All in all, good review.
I don't think she needs another band, I'm just waiting what she will do in the next years. She is young, but this band is her band, she has written these songs. Some songs make me think of Led Zep, so that's why I hope she will evolute. A great talent.
nokia: I'm sorry if this artist doesn't please you, but I don't write reviews according to what people want to listen or read. :)
Absolutely. That's awfully obvious, Cora. She's not my taste but I like your storytelling anyway. :)
