Dublin’s Evening Herald reports that Damien has recorded 2 tracks with French actress Melanie Laurent.

The tracks will appear on Melanie’s forthcoming album, released on 5 May.

“It’s a crazy story. I went to Woodstock [over two years ago] to record the album and I was unhappy with what happened there,” she recalled.

“He taught me everything about being a musician. I was a huge, huge fan, so it was weird for me to just speak with him like it’s natural, when I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m speaking with Damien Rice and we’re creating music together’.”
