Now RISQU? are avidly making music in their secret Barcelona studio. Their lavish sound comprises confident and robust driving rhythms, overlade with sweetly exotic and ethereal vocals.

Nathalie's (who is French as in the movie!) voice is spellbinding, somehow creating a lyrical synthesis of innocence and sensuality. Whats more, she intonates her lyrics in English and fran?ais, exuding a romantic pan-European aura.

The couple's romantic liaison, together with their music, makes a RISQU? story. They met on a rock off the beautiful North Wales coast. To escape any Anglo/French feuding between their parents, the duo ran away on a moonlight-flit to Las Vegas. There they were wed, in the Little Chapel of the West, where Elvis was married in Viva Las Vegas. But the sound of music beckoned from Europe, so the couple returned to immerse themselves and play, in the club and rave scenes of Paris and London. (by Chris Barber)
