To be honest, I am not that trendy enough to be able to recognise that Saint Privat is the music behind the Wienerin TV advert (”Rokoko”) and another commercial (”Tout les jours”) that is playing on TV. The band is composed of the sultry and pretty mulitilingual Valerie Sadjik and producer Waldeck. She croons in French, German and English. He composes the melody. It is a mixed bag of pop, French chansons, electronic. Mainly lounge pop.

And the funny thing is I like it. Thanks to the Viennese library for letting me discover their music. The band, having received an Amadeus Award a year ago, is unlike the usual stuff I listen from the Viennese radio. I rarely listen to FM4 these days. And, yes, Drahdiwaberl was great and Prof. Stefan Weber is a mad genius, and okay Falco was and still is famous. But so is Christina Stürmer. Don’t start with the Austrian electronic music because I seldom listen to it. Sorry.

Saint Privat is set to celebrate the release of their sophomore album, “Le Superflu” at the Wiener Konzerthaus on the 17th of December, at 8 pm. Tickets start at 22 euros. So secure your rightful seats (or spaces?) now.
