18. Beast – Beast (2008)
It seems that I have been stumbling across more and more French musicians lately, at least this one is singing in English. If you know who Betty Bonifassi Is then good for you, I didn’t. But once I looked her up I found out that she has been a part of several music projects that I really liked, such as DJ Champion. This is her new one, an electro duo from Montreal with Jean-Phi Goncalves. I remembered Bonifassi’s voice from the song No Heaven with DJ champion immediately, her voice is not raspy but it’s almost there, and the French accent is a perfect touch, (for some inexplicable reason.) Mr.Hurricane is the first single which was released free on Itunes, that’s how I heard Beast for the first time. My picks were for Devil and Mr. Hurricane. If you like slower tempo electro or trip hop then this is where it’s at. I included the link to the Mr. Hurricane music video, which is fabulous.
Note: The Toronto Star called it “one of the most strikingly original and swaggeringly bad-ass Canadian albums to rear its head in recent memory”. I love when a mainstream newspaper uses the word “Badass”. Badass.
