Billed as “Strange as Angels” the hype sticker calls this “Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague) presents Chrystabell Sings The Cure.”

Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux were the masterminds behind Nouvelle Vague, which released bossa nova covers of new wave songs, playing off multiple meanings of Nouvelle Vague. (Nouvelle Vague means “new wave” in French, and Bossa Nova means “new wave” in Portugese).

Chrystabell has put out a half-dozen records herself as a singer, including work with David Lynch – here delivers Cure covers in the style of Nouvelle Vague.
