20 years ago Nouvelle Vague released its iconic self-titled debut album which marked the rise of a musical style fusing post-punk with a distinctive touch of bossa nova and melancholia. Two decades later, they are a global phenomenon touring the world in celebration of their 20th anniversary!

Following the release of Nouvelle Vague’s Deluxe Edition of the 2024 album Should I Stay or Should I Go?, we proudly share this striking version of the Depeche Mode classic  for a new episode of [SESSIONS].

“I have been a big fan of Depeche Mode since the day I saw the video for ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ on French TV in 1981! We have already covered 2 Depeche Mode songs but ‘People Are People’ is special to me and I had this idea to arrange it in a kind of post rock way, to transform the almost industrial 80’s s sound into something more trippy. I also liked playing with the duality of the 2 performers.” – Nouvelle Vague’s Marc Collin
