Axelle Red - "Faire des mamours"

Axelle Red is a Belgian singer, lawyer and humanitarian. She released her debut album in the same year she graduated as a lawyer. The success of the album probably meant that music, not law, was to be her career. As her musical career grew she became more involved in humanitarian work, which is an impressive CV in its own right. Her first album was recorded with a bunch of Stax musicians, including Isaac Hayes and Steve Cropper, in Memphis. My first taste of her music was in 1999 with the release of her third album 'Toujours Moi' and there is still some old soul present... along with franco-pop gems like "Faire des mamours."
