A blast from the past

As it's the Bank Holiday weekend, I've been doing the same thing that half of Britain's been doing - DIY. Not much time for a post, so instead, I'm taking you back a couple of years to a moment of trashy pop magnificence.

It's Najoua Belyzel and her hit Gabriel. If you haven't heard of her before, then you're in for a treat. Imagine if Kylie hadn't been born in Australia and had, instead, been born in France, to a Moroccan father and an Egyptian mother. Najoua released this, her biggest hit to date, in 2005, though it didn't make the shores of the UK. If you listen carefully, the bassline is very similar to Kylie's Can't Get You Out Of My Head.

But whatever possessed her to go tramping about in the woodlands dressed in a wedding dress for the video?
