EarGASM 101: Telepopmusik “Breathe”
ABOUT: Télépopmusik is a French electronic music group with three members. The track “Breathe” was featured on their debut album “Genetic World” in 2001. Its a Chill Electronica House type of track – the kind you can dance or lounge to. Angela McCluskey’s husky yet dreamy vocals remind me of Eryka Badu or Amy Whinehouse under a slight echo voice filter. Angela was the co-writer and guest vocalist on the track, she is a member of the group Wild Colonials. I first heard “Breathe” on internet radio in 2001 and forgot all about it and then it resurfaced again in 2003 in a Mitsubishi ad. The song became a big hit and actually was nominated for a Grammy in 2004 – Kyle Minogue somehow managed to beat them out for Best Dance track. I think Kyle is legit but the Grammy’s truly are not.
SIGNIFICANCE: This is one of if not the very first of the great contemporary Electronica Dance tracks to make it to a mainstream American commercial. Not that its important, but it certainly helped to make it one of the more memorable tracks in this genre.
