REC Girl Margot Cotten : ‘like’ her now, before she is intergalactically famous

Margot Cotten, Intergalactical SuperStar

Margot Cotten is a one-woman-band, churning out flawless cover after cover of Sixties rock’n’folk from her family’s REC room in Paris France.

YouTube her name and be prepared to be overwhelmed.

Yes the Sixties REC room still lives : hard echoing walls and slightly dank atmosphere in the summertime and all.

She is good - really good - particularly when she takes the time to do her one-woman-band versions, instead of her great singing over adequate guitar strumming that she basically has had to do, to get her output up as high as she has.

(Ok, Ok you know my biased views on piano bashing or guitar strumming of endless washes of block chords.)

When she does take the time —- her bass playing, drum playing, lead playing really add to her usual rhythm playing and singing.

Her keyboard is sparse - fills basically - but I could do with hearing more of it.

Yes she is French , as French as French can be.

But you would never ever know it from her singing - some cuts I swear she sings it better - as  in better English idiomatically -  than the original singers.

Margot does play with others in bands that perform small gigs around Paris.

I really believe she has what it takes to become a star - but I sure hope this does not mean she does so by performing endless global tours, a mere dot on a stage, in stadiums of 50,000 people.

Her live small venue gigs, videoed and put on YouTube to beam across the globe and on outwards across the universe, would suit me just fine : I’d even pay to see them, inside a paywall....
