Mitsou

Mitsou Annie Marie Gélinas born September 1, 1970 in Loretteville, Quebec, daughter of actor Alain Gélinas and business woman Yuki Rioux. Sisters are Noémie and Abeille (born Violaine), who also has some acting and modeling experience. Her grandfather was acclaimed comedian Gratien Gélinas. She got involved in acting and modelling as a child, but also began to pursue singing in her teenage years. In 1988, she signed with Canadian independent Isba Records and released her first single, "Bye Bye Mon Cowboy" (composed and produced by Jean-Pierre Isaac), which became a smash pop hit across Canada (an extremely rare feat for a francophone song). Later that year, she followed with her debut, multicultural-themed album, El Mundo which also spawned the singles "La Corrida" and "Les Chinois". "Bye Bye Mon Cowboy" was later remixed by Shep Pettibone and re-released for the American market with a new video.

In 1990, she released her follow-up album, Terre des Hommes. Ivan Doroschuk (formerly of Men Without Hats) wrote the title track as well as her first English-language song "A Funny Place (The World Is)". She also changed her image by dyeing her hair reddish-brown instead of her trademark blonde.

The first single, "Mademoiselle Anne", failed to replicate her cross-Canada success, but in 1991 the second single, "Dis-Moi, Dis-Moi", put Mitsou back in the spotlight with a controversial video that showed her and several male and female models nude in a shower room. The video, which was released only a few months after Madonna's "Justify My Love", was banned by MuchMusic (as the Madonna video had been).

Having banned two high-profile pop videos within a few months of each other, MuchMusic created a new occasional late-night series, Too Much 4 Much, on which they would play banned videos along with forum and panel discussions on the controversies these videos raised. Due to the controversy, Mitsou's single was played across Canada even though the lyrics (which Mitsou co-wrote) were exclusively in French.

Her 1992 followup EP, Heading West, was a collection of past hits and new material in English and French. Despite a title track co-written by Cyndi Lauper, and the radio and video play given the dance-driven single "Deep Kiss", it failed to generate a substantial pop hit. In 1993, she followed it up with her first full-English album Tempted. Although the lead single was written by RuPaul ("Everybody Say Love"), the album again failed to give her a significant hit. The video for "Everybody Say Love" featured nudity (as well as homosexuality) but failed to stir any media attention.

Subsequently, she returned to recording primarily French-language material for her 1994 album Ya Ya which included cover versions of songs popular in Quebec in the '60s and '70s, such as the title track and "Comme j'ai toujours envie d'aimer". She also released a Christmas album entitled Noel in 1995 that included some Quebec holiday classics.

After a hiatus, her next album, Mitsou (Éponyme) (1999), featured hip-hop-influenced beats and a street-oriented rock sound. She also co-wrote and co-produced all the tracks.

Not one to stay inactive, in 2002 alone she released an EP, MitsouVibe, had a small but memorable role as Little Red Riding Hood in L'odysée d'Alice Tremblay and appeared in the Showcase original series Bliss, in the episode In Praise of Drunkenness and Fornication, her first English-language acting role. 2003 started off with a role in Denys Arcand's Les Invasions Barbares, which was featured at Cannes and won the 2004 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and ended with the birth of her and Iohann's first child, a daughter named Stella-Rose, on November 3, 2003.

Currently, Mitsou is the host of a radio morning program. On January 23, 2007, Mitsou and Iohann welcomed their second daughter, Mila.

Ко второму альбому мадам (Ой! Тогда ещё мадмазель) Mitsou определилась с музыкальным стилем. И если её первый альбом был больше похож на "сборную салянку", то уже ко второму альбому выбор был сделан: в отставку отправлены и "знойное" фламенко и "приторное" диско-латино. В основу второго альбома положены поп-рок + синти-поп: в "убойной" пропорции 40/60. Однако, ещё юный голос мадмазель Mitsou поначалу плохо сочетался с рок-стилем. Выход был быстро найден... ...по паре Гаваннских сигар в день - и через месяц - тембру голоса Mitsou уже готова была позавидовать сама Gianna Nannini...

Цитата: Terre des homes Y'a des filles, des garçons Y'a des grosses grand-mères dans des toutes petites maisons Y'a des fleurs, des abeilles Il y a une multitude de choses qui sont pas pareilles Y'a des hauts, y'a des bas Il y a une multitude de choses qui sont comme ça Y'a des mères, y'a des soeurs Avec des souvenirs d'enfance qui nous font peur (Refrain) Oui mais Fini le temps des rêves Ça fait plus de 20 ans déjà L'île Ste-Hélène Je suis sûre que ça n'existait pas Fini le temps des rêves Faudrait prendre conscience comme Que c'est pas juste C'est pas juste la terre des hommes Y'a des hauts, y'a des bas Il y a une multitude de choses qui sont comme ça Y'a des filles, des garçons Y'a des petits grand-pères dans des "super" grosses maisons (Refrain)

Следующий альбом Mitsou стал первой попыткой познакомить со своим творчеством Англоязычную аудиторию. Попытка, по мнению критиков, оказалась достаточно успешной. Что и привело к записи этого альбома на студии "Hollywood Records" в Лос-Анджелесе.
