Arte live for "die nacht, la nuit" by paul ouazan
"She sings, writes, sets poems to music, designs her own costumes, composes film soundtracks. shares her time between new york, italy, japan and france. yet it would be more accurate to say she inhabits a land of her invention, a perpetual nomad, usually found travelling... on board her accordion."

the new yorker
"Nicole Renaud's voice earns the overused descriptor "ethereal". She sang "Bei Mannern, Welche Liebe Fuhlen" from "The Magic Flute" and then "Der Holle Rache Kocht In Meinem Herzen". It was the kind of serendipitous moment one hopes to have in a New York cafe, but rarely does...." (March 20th 2006)

pascale richard's blog
(mrs. richard is the us correspondant of the fashion daily news)
"Nicole Renaud is a modern Iseult seducing her tristan with her romantic ballads ... In the same vein as Brigitte Fontaine or Marie Laforet, she is an inspiring young woman, a poet who dwells in nostalgia ... She closes her show with a 1800 Venetian aria “Barchetta” and transports you in a bal masqué on the grand canal."
