Call Me Madam

Folk-punk chanteuse Olivia Ruiz vaulted to stardom in her native France with the 2003 release of her debut LP, J'aime Pas l'Amour. Born January 1, 1980, in Carcassonne, she was the daughter of musician Didier Blanc, making her professional debut at 12 with the Médiévales troupe and at 15 co-founding the rock group Five. After earning a degree in communications from the University of Montpellier, Ruiz auditioned for the inaugural series of the French television amateur showcase Star Academy. Despite leaning more toward indie rock than mainstream pop, she nevertheless advanced to the semifinals. Ruiz issued her debut single, "Paris," in mid-2002. J'aime Pas l'Amour, which enlisted contributions from French alt-rock stars including Weepers Circus, Nery, and Philippe Prohom, followed more than a year later, selling more than 50,000 copies. The subject of the 2003 television documentary Olivia Ruiz, Star'activiste, she toured until mid-2005, finally issuing her sophomore album, La Femme Chocolat, at year's end. The lead single, "J'traîne des Pieds," proved a blockbuster hit, and the LP was named Album of the Year at the annual Victoires de la Musique honors.

C’est bien connu, les télé-crochets mènent à tout et Olivia Ruiz en est la preuve. De perdante au jeu de la Star Academy, elle est devenue gagnante dans le circuit de la chanson française avec notamment La Femme Chocolat en 2006.
Olivia Blanc naît le 1er janvier 1980 à Carcassonne (Aude). Son père, Didier Blanc, est alors musicien dans un orchestre de variétés. Il donne très tôt à sa fille l’opportunité de chanter dans une chorale locale. Quelques années après, l’adolescente officie dans un groupe de rock nommé Five, avant de s’investir dans le duo Les Amants, créé avec un compositeur, accordéoniste et guitariste. Le duo reprend des standards de la chanson réaliste et crée ses propres compositions. Pour se donner du courage, la chanteuse en herbe cherche à rencontrer une autre interprète du sud-ouest, Juliette, après un concert aux Francofolies. Sans obtenir une chanson exclusive comme elle l’espérait, la jeune Olivia repart avec quelques précieux conseils.

Pour son troisième album studio, Olivia Ruiz a choisi le titre Miss Météores. "J’assume pleinement mes contradictions, mes doutes et mes angoisses, déclare la chanteuse.

Set in Hong Kong in the present, the film’s main character is a good-looking young estate agent named Meili who one day meets two people that will have a strong influence on her life. One of these people is Madame Umeki, a mysterious upper-class Japanese lady who asks Meili to find a tenant for her luxurious apartment.

"Madam Butterfly" is the 7th album by American soul/R&B group Tavares, produced by Bobby Martin and released in 1979 on the Capitol label. By this stage in the group's career, they had become known as a disco act due to successful singles such as "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel", "Whodunit" and "More Than a Woman." However, Madam Butterfly is noted for its lack of anything approaching disco material, and, as such, is considered to be more akin in style to the group's 1973-'75 albums than to their '76-'78 Freddie Perren-produced output.
