Rouge Ardent

"After 20 years in the music business Belgian-born Francophone singer/songwriter Axelle Red is proving she has lost none of her passion and fire. She's just released her eighth studio album and the eponymous debut single 'Rouge Ardent' is as hot as the title suggests. This is a catchy, soulful and melodic ballad oozing with emotion and feeling from an artist whose particular brand of pop-soul has conquered Europe over the past two decades. Since she first wooed the continent with 'Sensualité way back in the early nineties, Axelle Red has sold an awful lot of records. Her 1993 album 'Sans plus attendre' sold a staggering 500,000 copies and became the best-selling album of all time in Belgium. Axelle Red's incredible musical talent has been recognised by numerous music industry awards and her unstinting humanitarian work and support for social causes was acknowledged by the French Government who presented her with the prestigious 'Chevalier dans l'ordre des Arts et Lettres' in 2006.
'Rouge Ardent' undoubtedly remains loyal to the singer's love of black American music and the legendary American soul stars that influenced her childhood. The songs are all well-written, powerful and pure Axelle Red." - eurobeatbox.com
