Clara Luciani is on the cover of the latest issue of Unbreakable. The 30-year-old artist is releasing his album on November 25 Heart, increased several times. In the magazine, the interpreter of The grenade is revealed from different angles, those of the artists she admires such as Françoise Hardy or Catherine Deneuve, or from the one with whom she revisited Summer Wine by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood. This is Alex Kapranos, leader of Franz Ferdinand, who has shared his life for two years.
To talk about their collaboration on Summer Winenever released in physics, it was Alex Kapranos who first spoke in Les Inrockuptibles : “It’s funny because we recorded it during the first confinement, without having the ambition to release it. We literally made it for the end, which sums up well what I think of music in general: play for take full advantage of it.” With great passion, he added: “My voice and Clara’s are very different. And that’s why it works. (…) Clara’s voice really differs from mine because it has a certain purity. I think she has this incredible power to invoke and convey emotions. Really. Which contrasts with my voice, which I couldn’t tell you about because I’m too close to her !”
In the river interview that the magazine devotes to the singer, she also returns to their work: “It’s a duo born at the Olympia. I had invited Alex to sing and I wanted us to cover a song by Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra, but I wasn’t sure which one to choose. Alex told me about Summer Wine, which he loved. (…) He will tell you better about it. I like the idea that this positive memory remains, like a snapshot of a historical moment. [le confinement]. ‘Cause it was a stressful and uninspiring time.”
If in her interview, Clara Luciani will declare “I’m a specialist in broken hearts, so whenever there’s a disappointed love song, you can be sure that I recognize myself in the lyrics.“, she seems to be spinning the perfect love today with the figure of British rock, twenty years her senior. The couple had appeared very complicit in a series of photos and videos taken during her chic birthday in July, in particular by her friend Alexandra Rosenfield.
