Petite Meller

[borderlines 46]

Q4 is almost here, so I doubt we'll get anything... It's always difficult for smaller acts to get something out so quick unless they hop on a famous succesfull colab like Halsey (Petite better reach out to some edm artist asap)... and noooo, she better stop with this brazil mess and give us Lost Angels, no one needs her insta to be flooded with "cum to brazeel" comments until she's forced to release that mess and fuck up her career

When I said Q4 I meant like December but even then that's ambitious because they're still fleshing out a concept for the album, but yeah I'd love to see her hop on a track and go viral in the meantime but again I think that's debatable knowing her travel schedule

Charli XCX just said that Joe Jonas pancake scene in Boys video was inspired by Petite! Queens better collab! England (ft Charli XCX) is coming

I clocked that immediately, like I didn't even get past the first few seconds of the Boys vid before pausing it and making a snarky tweet 

At least she gave her credit, that was nice of her to do.

 

A friend was on Island Record UK's artist roster page and noticed that she'd been removed (Wayback Machine revealed that she was there as of November 2016) which makes me think they might have dropped her, but I don't know because she's back in LA working with Diane Warren and someone must've set that up and I'd assume it was a label. I just hope this doesn't stop any release plans because she's getting closer towards finishing the album

she gets that comparison a lot, i'd start with barbaric or lil love since they're probably her most accessible

backpack and baby love are the two that she's most well known for though so definitely check those out!

I ordered one of her old band's promo CD's (Smack Snack) and it has the studio acapella on featuring Petite's verses, it's so surreal hearing her sing in Hebrew

Her old band stuff is honestly so good, their album is a bit cringe in places but there's still some bops on there

Even after Petite left for the UK they still dropped some good songs, hopefully they'll make a return soon (the lead singer was pregnant)

Well if Petite was dropped by the label she might as well be the lead singer

Maybe 

I have no clue whether she left the band on good terms or not but I hope they're all still friends

I find myself searching for Petite Meller songs often, because it seems she had a bit of a career prior to Lil Empire and I noticed Discogs updated her credits recently to include a song from 2006 called "Ce N'est Pas" by an Israeli band called 951.

 

It's on YouTube, but the quality isn't great, unfortunately I couldn't find a better version anywhere. It definitely sounds like her. It's so cool to hear her singing in French mostly, I think, and to hear earlier work featuring her.

I added that haha, that's her sister's old band I believe. They've released some other albums but that's the only track with Petite's vocals (confirmed via liner notes), I dug around and bought their other CD's just to be sure. I believe Ce N'est Pas was her first ever time recording vocals though, so this is pre-Terry Poison.

 

I have a personal CD-Rip of the song, which is 256kbps. I could probably rip something larger but I'm not sure if the album was pressed any higher than that, I'm also not sure what the forum rules are regarding uploading old releases; But it's not available anywhere online nor on any streaming/music purchasing platforms.

You're so kind, I managed to track down a better version in the end though

 

I'm curious about there being an alternate version of "Lil Love" called "A Little Love" which was on an Island Records compilation, do you know if that's available anywhere and what the differences are?

 

I'm excited for whatever Petite releases next. I hope we have some news soon.

I have that Island Life promo too haha, I randomly saw it on eBay whilst looking for Lauren Aquilina goodies. Coincidentally it had some Petite too though that wasn't why I originally bought it. I used to think A Little Love was a different master but there's no difference between that "2015 version" and the final when compared, just a working title I guess :\

 

And yeah I find it weird that it's been so long without any news of any music beyond the usual "coming soon x" replies on Instagram, the Shimmy Shimmy Style revamp was cute but she barely mentioned it anywhere
