Swiss-born Londoner Michele "Misty" Oldland made her debut with the female duo Oldland Montano on the album The Time Has Come (1988). Now a nightclub manager, the classically trained musician (cello, piano) returned in 1993 with "Got Me A Feeling" (duet with Omar) and the hit album Supernatural (1994), from which "A Fair Affair (Je T'aime) ", based on a Serge Gainsbourg sample, reached No. 20 in France. With her musicians from the soul and acid jazz scene, Misty Oldland records the album Luminous (1998) and adapts Georges Brassens' "L'Étranger " into "The Stranger" for the English-language tribute Beautiful Stranger. A model, TV host and record sleeve illustrator, the singer is also committed to the ecological cause, creating the Mistic Discs label in partnership with Greenpeace. The resulting album Forest Soul (2005) includes sounds of nature.
