Sandrine – ‘Where Do We Go’

Listen to

Does anyone remember this girl? A few years ago she had a minor hit called ‘Trigger’, but her album went nowhere. In the aftermath of the SonyBMG merger she was one of the roster cull casualties and Sandrine quietly disappeared from the scene. Well turns out she left for the United States to try her luck there, and luck is what she got. One of her songs got picked up in a French TV advertisement and it went up in the local charts. Nettwerk label and management, one of the biggest indie music companies in the world, then signed her up. Now she’s based in New York, living it up it seems.

Jessica Chapnik – ‘Sand’

Listen to

Jessica Chapnik is a new name to me but she might be better known to the Australian public as Sam Tolhurst, a character from Home and Away. Argentinian born and Australian raised, she is a trained actress, but we’re interested in her for her music rep. She was a backing singer to Sarah Blasko when she met Ben Lee who ended up writing a whole album’s worth of songs for a soundtrack to the movie The Square and got Jessica to sing it. The songwriting is very Ben Lee, and I suspect if he was singing I wouldn’t bother listening to the CD, but Jessica’s voice gave the songs a new angle and feel to them. One to watch in the future.
