Gabrielle Destroismaisons

ETC (C&C Musique)
by Michael McCarthy

If Keren Ann is the French-language version of Dido, Canada’s Gabrielle Destroismaisons is the French-language version of, well, Britney Spears. Definitely not the sort of thing you’re inclined to buy for its artistic merit, but if you’re looking to score some good dance music by a pretty gal, you could do a lot worse. The track “Et Cetera” from her ETC… disc is a bit of a naughty delight with lyrics like “toi et moi et cetera.” A guilty pleasure, to be sure, but what’s a CD collection with out them?
