exactly the way i feel about them… they dont make excuses for their music, they just open their creativity to a whole lifestyle, and that’s how you see its not some fucking marketing, i-wanna-get-famous kind of thing

I guess you still haven’t figured out that this is not a call for the public to listen to cocorosie…. it’s not like they really need that (or are looking for it for that matter), since they have a HUGE cult following, especially in europe… So no one is trying to modify your tastes or tell you what bands to like. This is obviously a dialogue on the way cocorosie are treated by the music press, particularly on the US, which tends to review them in a very sexist, unfair way compared to male-fronted bands. And it’s about how that might be keeping so many people away from their music based on these too-confortable-with-themsleves-reviewers. That cocorosie has this kind of RIDICULOUS and poor criticism from the press and still maintain such a loyal fanbase says quite something about them.
Let’s face it, there’s probably TONS of others bands whose sound you are not fond of, and you dont go all agressive on them like you do on cocorosie, and you do it because of all of these absolutely disrespectful reviews you read of them. i have never seen reviews that harsh being directed to an experimental male-fronted band to be honest.
But the best about all of this is that cocorosie really dont give a fuck what anyone thinks, because if this music thing didnt work out for them they would still be doing their thing, even if only to their friends, and to say they are looking for attention is as idiotic as saying lady gaga is not.
