Today sees the release of ‘Revolution #49 (Parl\u00e9)<\/a>‘, a brand new French-language version of the Elvis Costello song from his album ‘Hey Clockface,’ featuring the voices of the French actress and singer Isabelle Adjani and Costello.<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n

\u201cWhen Steve Nieve\u2019s partner, Muriel Teodori told me that she thought Isabelle Adjani might consider reading the French adaptation that Muriel had made of my original text, I assumed that I must be dreaming\u201d, said Costello.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The connection came as an equal surprise to M. Nieve.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhat I didn\u2019t know was Isabelle and Muriel had been friends from a long time ago but they hadn\u2019t seen each other for more than twenty-five years.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This song – the first track of Costello\u2019s recent, celebrated album, ‘Hey Clockface’ – is a recitation over an instrumental performance, opening with the plaintive sound of a serpent, a wind instrument which has its origin in the French town of Auxerre in the 1580s.<\/p>\n

This is also the approximate historical period of one of Isabelle Adjani\u2019s most acclaimed cinematic performances, in the title role of Patrice Ch\u00e9reau\u2019s, ‘La Reine Margot’.<\/p>\n

Costello continued,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIn imagining Isabelle reading Muriel\u2019s adapted verses, I sensed that she would instinctively know what to do, as she had portrayed several characters who lived at the borderline between love and madness, most especially in Fran\u00e7ois Truffaut\u2019s, ‘The Story Of Adele H.\u2019”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The vocal session took place at Nieve and Teodori\u2019s apartment in Paris.<\/p>\n

Nieve continued,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOur doorbell rang and Isabelle arrived with an arm full of gifts; incredible cakes from Hotel Meurice, books that she likes, and she immediately kissed us on both cheeks, saying ‘I hope you are not afraid.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The two old friends consulted over the final text, Isabelle making a few small amendments to suit her voice before Muriel encouraged her to record a second version of ‘Revolution #49’, in which Isabelle improvised melodically over a new piano performance by Steve Nieve.<\/p>\n

The second rendition of ‘Revolution #49’ will be issued later this year but unfortunately will not be televised.<\/p>\n

Before leaving, Isabelle told her friends, \u201cJe suis trop honor, trop heureuse de m\u2019inscribe dans un project aussi somptueux par sa difference\u201d and M. Costello has already promised a brand new composition for the Adjani voice, in thanks for these interpretations.<\/p>\n

Revolution #49 (Parl\u00e9) is the second Francophone version of a \u2018Hey Clockface\u2019 song. “No Flag (Chant\u00e9)\u201d \u2014 credited to Elvis Costello with Iggy Pop\u2014 was released by Concord Records on December 3rd, 2020.<\/p>\n

Hey Clockface was released October 30, 2020. Listen to the album HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
