Oops ...slight detour ladies & gentlemen...
Due to technical reasons, Najoua's new song "Rendez-vous" will still be out on 7 September on YouTube, however as for the downloadable audio, it will be available FREE on SoundCloud, while it will be available as Classical Download on iTunes(i.e. Purchase Download). Apologies for any hiccups while we strive our best.
Good day!

And below is her acoustic rehearsal of "Rendez-Vous" under the Tolbiac bridge in Paris (the reverb is simply... exquisite) Incidentally if you don't know already, her ever faithful long-term composer Mr. Christophe Casanave sits to her left-side (in black leather jacket)

I just LOVE IT! I can't wait for the whole album to come out in early 2015;) Najoua and Christophe did a really good job with this clip. The music, the lyrics, her voice - all is magical in this Fall forest (her favorite season too!).

Song feels very dramatic, even if I do not understand the text (I know it is about children). Very nice melody, arrangement and singing. Love it! Video... a bit mixed feeling... well, idea is good, overall ok, but shot is not so strong and dramatic as the song, some moments look a bit amateur or not polished enough. Anyway it is very nice to see her coming back with the new songs after long time. Good luck!

Yes, you are right that the song is about children. Lost/missing children as a matter of fact that Najoua feels very strongly about on a touchy subject which not many artists will do. For the video, thank you very much for your valuable feedback. Will take into consideration for improving future music video releases.

Ok, I saw the video few times again trying to understand what felt wrong. The most weak point is this man driving the car with a wolf mask or sitting with some pick-nick stuff near fireplace. Even if he appears very shortly, scenes with him completely break up the whole tense and gloomy atmosphere of the clip, like false note in the melody (don't know maybe text suggests him to be in the clip?). Single woman with children alone in deep forest, where no cars are driving and no men with jeans and masks walking around would look much more dramatic. Also the role of the horse, which is used only in the first few seconds remains unclear. If cut off these short scenes, video would be almost perfect. Just my very subjective opinion

A meaningful message by Najoua, extracted from her official Facebook page, following the official release of her music video clip "Que Sont-Ils Devenus ?" on 4th December below:
English translation as follows:
I would like to thank everyone and for all your nice messages that you leave on our Facebook and to also say to you that we took much pleasure to carryout ourselves, Christophe, Thierry and Me, some of these images to illustrate in the most gentle way on this subject which held me more to heart. I am proud of our work because it resembles me and like me, although it is human, touching and above all imperfect, it is especially more than sincere, delicate yet full of freedom.
On a republication of an album of Michel Polnareff is written by his pen: "If one asks why this recording is not a model of perfection... Answer that, often, sincerity is preferable to quality"
For the moment, I think of those Children...
And I embrace you
Thank you
Najoua

Below is the original lyric by Najoua which is from her official Facebook page, followed by my best English translation of it, as well as the introduction as viewed in her official music video "Que Sont-Ils Devenus ?". Good reading :
Children believe what we tell them and they have complete faith in us… it's this bit of naivety that I question you…
She believes to tame the wolves which hide in our gardens and they'll return in the midst of us by giving their hand.
“Let me tell you four magical words, true childhood's open sesame:
once upon a time…”
N. Belyzel
Whatbecame of themthese children that we've lost Have they well disappeared or do they hide in our streets What became of them that one tells me a little more What have they become? Did they run away one morning by smiling carelessly To make us grief in saying I return tomorrow What have they become? Not a letter received What have they become?
What became of them these children that we've lost Are they alone in line without ever joining hands Do they all do a dance, are they gone on vacation What have they become? You who know have you seen them?
Have they crossed their buddies, rascals or scoundrels That wolves that dogs all hidden in our gardens What became of them these children that one has disappointed What have they become?
What became of them these children that we've lost Are they alone in line without ever joining hands Do they all do a dance, are they gone on vacation
What became of them these children that we've lost Are they alone in line without ever joining hands Do they all do a dance, are they gone on vacation What became of them they were never re-examined
