Alizée Jacotey (French pronunciation: [aliˈze]) (born 21 August 1984 in Ajaccio, Corsica, France) is a French singer. Born in Ajaccio, Corsica, she goes by the stage name Alizée — the feminine form of alizé, the trade wind.[1] She was discovered by Mylène Farmer, following her winning performance in the talent show, Graines de Star,[2] in 1999. While collaborating with Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, Alizée released two albums — both of which were hits inside and outside of France.

Alizée entered the music business in 2000. She has since released four studio albums — first two of which were composed by Laurent Boutonnat and written by Mylène Farmer. Her first album was Gourmandises, which received Platinum certification within three months of release. Gourmandises was a success both in France and abroad — after it had its international launch in 2001 — earning Alizée the distinction of being the highest selling female French singer in 2001.[3] The album featured her most successful single "Moi... Lolita" which reached number one in several countries in Europe and East Asia. Gourmandises was followed by a second studio album Mes Courants Électriques in 2003, which was also quite successful, though not as big a hit as Alizée's debut album. Following its release, Alizée toured France during the fall of 2003, performing in 43 concerts throughout France, along with Belgium and Switzerland.[4]

Alizée married fellow French singer Jérémy Chatelain in late 2003. Following her marriage, she took a hiatus from singing before returning with a new album, titled Psychédélices, on 3 December 2007.[5] Her fourth album titled Une Enfant Du Siècle was released on 29 March 2010 and showcases her new mature persona, while distancing herself from her earlier lolita figure.

Biography

Early years

Also known by her nickname "Lili", Alizée started dancing early in her life,[6] and by age four was already proficient. A year later, she was enrolled in Corsica's renowned dance school, École du Spectacle de Monique Mufraggi, and trained there until she was 15.[7] In 1995, at the age of eleven, she won a coloring competition organized by Air Outre Mer, a former French airline now partly acquired by Swissair. Her design won first prize and was reproduced on the cabin of one of the airline's aircraft. The aircraft was subsequently named after her, and Alizée won a trip to the Maldives for her efforts.

In 1999, she appeared on the TV talent show "Graines de Star", broadcast on Métropole 6.[2] She initially intended to sign up for the programme's dance contest. However, the dance category was reserved for groups only. Alizée therefore participated in the singing category instead, performing the song Ma Prière (a single released by Axelle Red in 1997). She went on to win the "Meilleure Graine" award for most promising young singing star of tomorrow.

Her winning performance was seen by veteran Canadian-born French pop diva Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, who were looking for a young, fresh voice to partake in their new project. They approached Alizée, and she was selected after studio auditions. The duo arranged her debut with a meticulously orchestrated launch, controlling her image and public appearances. In 2000, they produced her maiden album, Gourmandises which was a great success in France, Belgium, Germany, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. The first single was "Moi... Lolita", which some say portrayed Alizée as a Lolita who was capable of "melting the hearts of the local male population".[3] Others recognized her great variation in tone and artistic talent. Alizée won the M6 award in 2000. She returned with a follow up album, Mes Courants Électriques, in 2003. This second album was also quite successful, though not to the same extent as Gourmandises. It was followed up with a live album of her countrywide tour.

Personal life

Even though the albums have portrayed her in a sexy, Lolita-like image, Alizée had a "squeaky-clean public image as the perfect teenager" during her teens.[3] Though described as a very shy and a reserved person, she likes performing in front of audiences.[8] Although she has a singing career, Alizée prefers dancing,[8] and is quite proficient in classical dance, jazz, Italy style ballet, tap and flamenco.[9] Alizée also likes soccer.[10] She is a supporter of AC Ajaccio (Corsica), and was once invited to kick off one of their matches.

Alizée is actively involved in charity work through Les Enfoirés, a group of French celebrities who organize fund-raising concerts every year. The proceeds from these concerts go to Les Restaurants du Coeur. The organization, set up by French comedian Coluche, helps feed the poor. Alizée participated in these concerts in 2001, 2002, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Alizée married fellow French singer Jérémy Chatelain in late 2003. She also has a child, Annily.

Career

Alizée debuted in 2000 with the album Gourmandises. It went on to become a hit both in Europe and outside. The album reached top five in charts in France, Italy, Greece, Germany, Mexico, and others. It was followed up with a studio album in 2003, Mes Courants Électriques, and a live album Alizée En Concert in 2004.

She has sold nearly five million albums and singles around the globe. She has taken part in various stage shows and live performances throughout Europe, everywhere from France to Russia. She also starred in a Japanese commercial. More recently, she has been becoming just as popular in North America as she is in much of Europe; the latest concert tours together with earlier promotion leading to a very strong fan base in mainly the United States and in Mexico. In addition, she is also very popular in parts of Asia including India, China and Japan.

Following her marriage in late 2003, Alizée had taken a hiatus from singing and had avoided appearing in the media since, with her older official site being offline since summer of 2005. Her first television appearance since then was on MTV France on 18 February 2006. She has since resumed media appearances beginning in the second half of 2007 for promotion of her third studio album titled Psychédélices.

Gourmandises

Alizée made her debut with the single "Moi... Lolita", her most successful to date. It enjoyed success throughout most of Europe and parts of East Asia, reaching number one in several countries. The video for the single, which incidentally was the first to be filmed on her, showed Alizée as a village girl visiting a night-club.[11] The song was later used in the UK trailer of the 2006 film, A Good Year, and was a part of the film's soundtrack.

The single was from her debut album, Gourmandises ("Delicacies"), released in 2000.[12] The album, written by Farmer and composed by Boutonnat, sold over 788,100 copies in France. It went Platinum in just three months. In 2001, the album, most of whose songs featured "risqué lyrics", was launched internationally, and for this marketing success, Alizée became the highest-ever selling female French singer.[3][13] The album went on to sell over 2 million copies worldwide.[14] Farmer and Boutonnat kept a tight rein how the album was marketed and controlled the image in which Alizée was portrayed. In the meantime, Alizée gave very few interviews, and even when she did, they did not stretch beyond 20 minutes per journalist. Neither did she agree to any photoshoots.[3]

Her second single "L'Alizé" (2000), also from the same album, followed soon after. It was also successful in hitting number one in France, and gained some success internationally. The video of the "sexily alliterative"[3] song shows Alizée amidst soap bubbles against a pink backdrop singing about herself. The video was shot in a studio in Brussels, which had a 25 metre by 10 metre painted canvas to serve as the background, with real bubbles.[11] This single was followed up with another single from the same album - the title song, "Gourmandises". The video, which shows a group of young boys and girls out on a picnic, was shot in a day.[11] The last single from this album was "Parler tout bas", which deals with the theme of dreams and a loss of innocence. In France, "Parler tout bas" was the third single, then followed by the release of "Gourmandises".

Mes Courants Électriques

In 2003, Alizée returned with her second album Mes Courants Électriques (My Electric Currents).[15] With the release of this album, she changed her image from a "Lolita" to that of a more toned-down teenager. This album was also written by Farmer and Boutonnat. While it had some success in and outside France, this second album, featuring English versions of four tracks, was not as well-received as her first one, Gourmandises. It sold 200,000 copies in France.

The first single from this album, "J'en ai marre!" (also known as "Mon bain de mousse" in Japan) was released in 2003. The music video for this shows Alizée in a glass cage, singing while having water splashed on her. The plexiglass cage, 3 by 3 meters in dimension, was constructed in a Parisian studio, and the shooting of the video took two days.[11] An English-language version of this song, titled "I'm Fed Up!", was also released, and featured similar visuals for the music video.

The other singles from this album were "J'ai pas vingt ans" and "À contre-courant". Like "J'en ai marre!", "J'ai pas vingt ans", "Youpidou" and "Amélie m'a dit" also had English versions. The video for "J'ai pas vingt ans" ("I'm Not Twenty") resembles the ambience of a concert with Alizée dancing in the midst of several other dancers.[11] "À contre-courant", the last single from this album, was shot in an abandoned coal factory.[11] Unlike the other two singles, there was no English-language rendition of this song.

Alizée En Concert

Following the release of her second studio album, Mes Courants Électriques, Alizée went on a countrywide tour of France, along with a performance each in Belgium and Switzerland, during the second half of the year 2003. The tour started off with a performance on 26 August 2003 in Paris, France.[4][16] It concluded with her performance on the eve of 17 January 2004 at the Le Zénith concert hall in Paris and had covered major cities including Lyon, Rouen, Lille, Grenoble and Dijon, among others.[4]

A live CD and DVD, titled Alizée En Concert, comprising of selected performances from her tour, was launched a year later in the fall of 2004.[17] The audio CD contained tracks, taken from her two studio albums. The DVD featured video footage of the same performances as on the CD, along with bonus footage of her rehearsals.

The compilation was re-released in early 2007 in Mexico by Universal Music as a CD+DVD release,[18] following the featuring of the songs in local radio stations. With the re-release and renewed interest, the songs climbed up the music charts in the country. The album became a hit, peaking at number four in the International Chart on 28 May 2007,[19] and number eight on the main albums chart. En concert has a Gold certification for shipments over 50,000 copies only in Mexico.[20]

Psychédélices

After a four year hiatus, a time spent out of the media limelight, Alizée returned in December 2007 with a new album, Psychédélices, the first one to be made without the creative supervision of her former mentor, Mylène Farmer. The album, which features 11 tracks,[21] was made available for digital downloads 26 November 2007,[22] with a full release on 3 December 2007[5][23] under the RCA label.[24] The album includes collaborations with Bertrand Burgalat, Daniel Darc, Oxmo Puccino, Jérémy Chatelain,[25] Michel-Yves Kochmann, and Jean Fauque.[26]

The first single from the album was "Mademoiselle Juliette".[27][28] It was released on 30 September 2007.[28] It was accidentally released early on the Virgin Megastore website on 23 September 2007,[29][30] but was taken down later citing an error on the part of Virgin Music, France. The single was later made available in online music stores as well as radio stations,[26][28] and went on to capture the #13 spot on the legal music downloads charts.[5][23] To promote the single, Alizée appeared on the French radio station, NRJ, on 27 September 2007.[27][28] The video for the single was released for broadcast on 19 November 2007,[31] though it was made available on MSN France on 16 November 2007. It was released on physical media, available as a CD or Vinyl, on 21 January 2008.

Alizée performing in 2008

Another track from the album, "Fifty-Sixty", was leaked two months before the album was released. Though the song was not mentioned by name, the leak was confirmed in a press release which revealed the title and release schedule of the album.[32] "Fifty-Sixty" later launched as the second single from the album in February 2008. The lyrics to "Fifty-Sixty" tell, in personal and metaphorical manner, of a young model under the guidance of Andy Warhol, possibly inspired by real-life story of Edie Sedgwick. The song ends with a reiteration of how she foolishly believed Andy that she was the most beautiful model of all. Three music videos were released for the single[33] - one for the album version of the song and the other two for two remixes.[34] The first of the videos was released on 5 May 2008.[35] For the purposes of promotion of the single and the music videos, a website (www.psychedeclips.com) and a MySpace page (www.myspace.com/psychedeclips) were created.[34]

Coinciding with the new album, a new official website was created,[36] which, despite being announced on 11 September 2007, was kept under wraps until 28 November 2007.[37] The album was also promoted via an official artist profile at MySpace.[38] Advertising and marketing campaigns for the album began 22 November 2007 with ad campaigns on NRJ National Radio in France, as well as TF1 TV, and the web.

In March 2008 Alizée visited Mexico for the first time in a short promotional tour. On 5 March she was supposed to hold the second-ever public autograph session of her career but it was cancelled due to problems with the store's security. Alizée held an improvised press conference to apologise to all her Mexican fans and to explain that it was not her fault.[39] Sony BMG Mexico also released a statement saying it was not Alizée's fault, that it was the store who had problems with the security, and that they did not expect so many people in attendance; fences had been broken and kids were in danger. Alizée also promised to make amends by having another autograph session when she returned to the country on the following tour.[40] She also stated that her tour would start on 18 May in Moscow, followed by concerts in Mexico and then France.[41][42] She also commented that piracy in music has two sides "one good" and "one bad" saying that sometimes it's good because her music reaches places that she never thought to reach.[43] After the success of Alizée's tour in Mexico and in an attempt to amend the damage caused during her first promotional visit, Alizée announced an autograph session with fans on 26 June 2008 in Mexico City, over 300 CDs were signed and the record label executives of Sony BMG Mexico presented a Gold certification for shipments over 50,000 copies of Psychédélices - Mexican Tour Edition.[44] A new cover singing in Mexico was Madonna's cover, "La Isla Bonita"; it has gone on to become Alizée's first top ten on the airplay chart.[45]

Tout Alizée

Following the success of Alizée En Concert and Psychédélices in Mexico, Alizée's former music label, Universal Music released a compilation album, titled Tout Alizée.[46] The compilation, which is a Mexico-only release, consists of 15 tracks (with 4 remixes) from her first two studio albums. It is augmented with a bonus DVD featuring some of her music videos. The compilation debuted to #62 on the Mexican Top 100 Albums Chart and #20 on the Mexican International Top 20 Albums Chart.[47][48]

Une Enfant du Siècle

In the beginning of 2009, Alizée had to cancel a concert in France. She announced then that she was already working on her future album, which would sound very different from all of her previous recordings. The album is called Une Enfant Du Siècle and it was released in France on 29 March 2010. A teaser can be shown on the Internet, called "Une enfant du siècle" ("A child of the century"). According to British website Popjustice, the first single is partially in English and it is called "Limelight". On 15 February 2010 they uploaded the full version of the song and a clip from the music video.[49] The Special Collector Edition of the album was made available for pre-orders on 4 February 2010. However, it was later confirmed by Popjustice itself that "Limelight" was a teaser single, and the official single from Alizée's fourth album is "Les Collines (Never Leave You)".[50] The music video of the first single "Les Collines" was released on 19 March 2010 by Alizée's official YouTube channel, which then peaked as the daily most-viewed[51] musician's channel worldwide. A new official Facebook site debuted in early April 2010, which indexes 6 other official Web sites the artist maintains.[52]

Despite marketing hype and commercial success, there were mixed critical responses to the launch of Moi... Lolita, Alizée's first single. The critics felt that the similarity in style to that of Mylène Farmer was too striking. Some felt that her Lolita image overshadowed her singing prowess—describing her as "desperately trying to be sexy", and many were ready to write her off.[57] Some of her songs have been described as "sweeping, atmospheric ballads" whose "melodies are so sparkling and beguiling", and from which Alizée manages to "squeeze more emotion than the usual pop package".[58][59] Alizée's three albums include a wide range of songs, from catchy pop tunes to soulful ballads. Radio France Internationale featured Gourmandises as their CD of the week, stating:[3]

“ The ten songs on Alizée's debut album, Gourmandises (Goodies), have all been expertly manufactured by the Farmer hit-machine. Sweet syrupy pop ditties are wrapped in silky synths, violins and catchy techno beats and judging by the success of Alizée's sexily alliterative second single, L’Alizé, the Farmer team have hit upon a winning formula. ”
