Among film roles is &ldquo;Pr&ecirc;te moi ta main,&rdquo; directed by Eric Lartigau; and TV appearances in &ldquo;Nightmare,&rdquo; &ldquo;Op&eacute;ration Saint Esprit&rdquo; and &ldquo;Alors.&rdquo;<br /><br />Highlights of Lybert Ramade&rsquo;s upcoming album &ldquo;Une autre chance,&rdquo; recorded in New York, include &ldquo;Ecoute moi,&rdquo; the jazz-infused radio-ready opening track; frenetic dance toss-ups &ldquo;L&rsquo;heure des heros&rdquo; and &ldquo;Je suis comme je suis&rdquo;; elegant ballads &ldquo;Plus loin&rdquo; and &ldquo;Si jamais&rdquo;; playful pop finger-snapper &ldquo;Laissez moi&rdquo;; and pop confection &ldquo;7 vies.&rdquo; The project also includes English-language track &ldquo;Another Bad Mistake,&rdquo; a duet with French-Canadian chanteuse Karine Hannah.<br /><br />Along with production by Dennis DelGaudio and Ayhan Sahin (DNA), a host of U.S.-based songwriters contributed, including Sahin with DelGaudio, Tinatin Japaridze, Bernadette O'Reilly, Emre Yilmaz, Chuck Taylor, Garth Ploog, Hannah, Ghia Gabriela Szwed, Adam Shenk, Jeff Franzel and Daniel Pitt Stoller.
