Melanie on Damien

[Shillelagh]

After this was over, my life is quite crazy and funny, I met—Damien Rice. I was just completely crazy about him. And I met that guy, just after Tarantino. It’s so crazy. Like, “Oh! What I’m going to do without you!” “Ohp! I met Damien Rice! Sorry!” [She pantomimes scooting closer to her next greatest thing!] I was like—Masters! It’s funny to have just met two masters. They’re very different, because it’s music and it’s cinema, but I was like, “I’m so ****ing lucky!” And so we are working on my CD right now.
Damien just said to me, “You wanna be a singer? Ok, so work!” Ok yeah. So you go in the bathroom, lock the door, and you work two hours. Ok. Good. “Play some piano! Just go to work! Listen the birds! Caress a tree, be with the nature, and just be inspired!” And I just forgot that, you know sometime you just work and work, and you have no life, no boyfriend, you have no more friends and you just make movies, and you’re tired, and you don’t know why. Because everybody said, “oh you are so lucky, you are working!” And you’re like, “oh yeah, it’s so great.” And suddenly, I just—I’m not mystic at all but—I was like, “Oh, I met that master of making movies! And I met that master of making CDs, and I worked with those two guys!” And the common point is inspiration, and make that job with passion, and that’s all. And it’s so great, because I just have a new life now. I enjoy everything. Even after that moment, and I’m jet lagged!

and I've just found this: http://showbiz411.blogs.thr.com/tag/melanie-laurent/

She’s also a singer. For the last year or she’s been collaborating with Irish singer songwriter Damien Rice up in Woodstock, New York. Rice, she says, may do the soundtrack for the French film she’s writing right now.

^ Heh. My thoughts exactly. That screencrave interview was hard to read.

Still, it's nice to vaguely know what Damien's up to.. thanks for sharing that!

I guess it might be because she's french, but ooh la la that was painful to read.

new interview with Melanie (thanks Glo for the heads up)

So, what can you tell me about this album you're working on?

I'm working with Damien Rice, and we're almost done. We've been working for the last year. We'll be mixing it in September. I think it'll be released next year, and I'll go on tour with it. It's funny - the lyrics are French, but the music is pop, rock, so it sounds like English music. I can't think of anyone to compare it to, though.
