[edit] Singer
She performed the title "Fuis Lawrence d'Arabia" in 1987, which peaked at #12 on the French Singles Chart (Top 50).[1] In 1988, two other 12" were released : "Casanova Solo" and "Impunément", which didn't meet the same success despite a music video for "Impunément" which was a real mini movie about ten minutes.
In 2002 Bruno Blum released a reggae version of The Clash's Should I Stay or Should I Go on a Jamaican 45 RPM vinyl single featuring Annabelle Mouloudji improvising a scat vocal. The song was reissued on CD in 2011 as part of the Human Race anthology. Other contributions with Bruno Blum include co-writing La Bombe glacée (featured on Blum's Think Différent album) and other songs recorded and released by him. A French version of Should I Stay or Should I Go also featuring Annabelle, entitled Si je reste, was released as a CD single in France. It was also included on Bruno Blum's Nuage d'Éthiopie 2001 album.
Annabelle made a brief come back in the music in 2000 with the album of children's rhymes La Vie à découvrir de Victor et Amandine, which was very different from her 1980s songs.
[edit] Actress
She was also an actress in movies : Un Été d'enfer (1984), À nous les garçons (1985) and has participated in several TV movies as Theroigne de Méricourt (1989), Trois Nuits (1991) or La Crim ( 1999).
[edit] Author
In 2011, she released an autobiographical book titled "La P'tite Coquelicot", published by Calmann-Lévy.[2]
