Nico Teen Love [Bonus CD]

On this 2009 follow-up to the bébés rockers' 2007 debut, Blonde Comme Moi, BB Brunes branch out from songs about partying through the night and getting all the girls. While the lyrics remain primarily in French, a few English phrases are thrown into the mix as well. With the exception of "Cola Maya" and "Black & Blue," the tracks on the album take a slower pace than the band's debut, as does singer Adrien Gallo, who sings, rather than hurls, his lyrics on the album -- and Nico Teen Love is all the better for it. ~ Celeste Rhoads
