I don't really give a shit about their personal sexual choices, but it is curious to hear a girl singing about being in love with a girl..once again not totally new, but still, its something quite uncommon.. So to all those people that have been hating that stupid track that is on MTV right now, something like 'I kissed a girl and I liked it' (pffff...), here's something much more interesting and edgy:
Tender Forever is the alias of Melanie Valera, a crazy half french half american girl that makes these really sweet poppy/electronica songs...very cute and romantic, and you can see she really opens her heart (and lungs) out in her music. Her arrangements are really cool, all done probably in her little laptop with a simple sound editing program. Its simple but it works! Plus she makes these really cool paper cutouts and her shows are quite original..try to look for some of her concerts,like the one in a recent Sonar.(She is the one on the right, with her lady)
Here's her myspace:http://www.myspace.com/tenderforever
The 1st track i heard was the one that won me over, "How Many" (although the dancing is pretty horrible, even if done as a joke..):

A cover of Justin Timberlake's "My Love" (my brother loved it, of course):

All done with a flat, a girlfriend and some silly paper thingis and fridge magnets!
"Magic of the crashing stars":

Post-it dress?Yes!
Who tops sexy Beyonce? Those who are Tender Forever!HAHA!
And I leave you with one of her best lines: "When you talk about sex you dont talk about love, its like saying that pigeons are nicer than doves, its a lie"...she really is tender isnt she?
