You may remember that Iggy Pop released a French language cover of Elvis Costello's "No Flag" (from Costello's new album Hey Clockface) not too long ago. French Hey Clockface covers are clearly a thing Elvis is working on, as he's just shared this dramatic reading version of "Revolution #49" by French actress Isabelle Adjani.
“When Steve Nieve’s partner, Muriel Teodori told me that she thought Isabelle Adjani might consider reading the French adaptation that Muriel had made of my original text, I assumed that I must be dreaming”, says Costello. Nieve adds, “What I didn’t know was Isabelle and Muriel had been friends from a long time ago but they hadn’t seen each other for more than twenty-five years.”
