Natubella IS electROCKnica

I was still recovering from a cold today (picture it yourself: running nose that doesn’t want to stop and  an exhausted body requesting more sleep?) but that didn’t stop me for waking up really early (7 am!!!) and running to the closest HM to be one of the firsts to enjoy (and spend money on) the Lanvin collection for H&M! And it was totally worth it!

Here what you’ve missed (or not!):

Meanwhile I preparing the next tour (London, Spain, Argentina) I found myself lost in some cool French electro! So this time I introduce you Yelle, a French band founded by lead singer and namesake, Yelle and GrandMarnier. A third member, Tepr, joined the band before the recording of their debut album. The band came to prominence when they posted an early version of the song “Je Veux Te Voir” on MySpace in September 2005, it later reached the top five in France. Their debut album “Pop-Up” was released in 2007.

Listen and watch their work:

“Stardoll” is a really fun virtual doll house, where you can create your doll (boys and girls) and interact with other dolls, socialize, play games, etc.

I invite you to check it up… You will find fun games such as dress Natubella for a gig!

Yes, that’s what it looks to me… I am not saying I dislike it, but it certainly calls my attention that such old formulas are brought back. It seems that there is not enough creativity around… right?

I respect Lady Gaga’s work and I am sure that she doesn’t work alone… but c’mon! They have used all Madonna’s old videos brushing up the concept a little! Anyway, here it is goes, “Alejandro”:

PARIS: a blue illuminated Eiffel Tower in the background…  Cool electronic sounds and a big audience watching dozens of half naked girls on luxury chariots in a very fancy parade! That was the Sonia Rykiel presentation of her new underwear collection for H&M!!!

How can a girl like me concentrate in work with such a big thing going on???

My Achilles heel in no other than shoes and underwear! HOW can H&M sabotage my work in such a way ???

Well, as a good shopaholic I am waiting for the release of Sonia Rykiel‘s underwear collection, here in Stockholm, so wish me luck, coz there will be blood among the other shopaholics

So forgive me for this parenthesis in the music and let’s go back to work!

Rosin Murphy was recently focus of more attention than usual after a big buzz created by Lady Gaga’s resemblance to her look. I have been caught by the gossip, I must admit, and yes, I’ve done some research myself and I think it’s true, but digging deeper I found out that Lady Gaga has similar outfits to many other big stars… Moral of the story? Just a cats’ fight that gave both, Lady Gaga and Roisin Murphy a lot of free publicity. End of the comment! (regarding that )

Going back to Roisin Murphy,  she has been a source of inspiration for me since she was part of Moloko. Her voice, her look (don’t worry, I’m not like Lady Gaga, I will not copy her! LOL), her style. When Roisin Murphy broke up with her partner/boyfriend, Mark Brydon, and she went solo, I was excited and concerned at the same time; but Roisin did a great work!

And now, the one that is the thief is her! I was planning to release my next single online like she will do tomorrow! (hehe).

Anyway, I’m sure it will be awesome and the online release will be a success. I will be alert and I will post it here at once (or when I have the chance at least).

Meanwhile let’s watch her short video announcing the release on November 2nd of 2009:

I was sleepless last night… even though I was dead tired, I couldn’t help thinking and planning the photo shooting of the next day. Checking mentally if I had all prepared. Clothes… 3 outfits, accessories, shoes. Was all there? Nooooo, some stuff were missing! Damn! Meant that I also had to wake up earlier and with the clock ticking!

Good news anyway: I managed to do it all, sleep, shop and pictures! IUPIIIIIIII!

I arrived to the studio with my manager, a bit late but it wasn’t a problem at all. The girls there treated me like a princess! They did my make up and my hair and they made me wait for the photographer… we didn’t have a good start with her, I must admit… but we handled it fine (thx to my manager) and we did a good job the 3 of us!

I am happy with the results, I hope you like the pictures too…

Just a cool pose

Just stretching

Hi there...

Choices… so many things to choose for the release party… like the perfect outfit!
I will meet the stylist (Bettina from http://www.personality.se) tomorrow and we are going in a shopping spree! IUUUUUUUUUPI! (I just need to avoid the shoe stores… as I have a special fetish with shoes, therefore I have A LOT)
I’ve been sunk into Swedish magazines so I guess I have a clue of what to buy… but let’s see tomorrow how it goes. Wish me luck! Xxxxxxx

I talked to my friend Lautaro, an Argentinean great painter! And I asked him what if we do a painting instead of a picture of me for the cover of the Cd…? I have this idea…. And I told him, so let’s take a look to his interpretation and the process!
