Aure

Very tender song by Aure, a French singer who writes in French, Spanish and English. This track, from her upcoming album, is in French and English. “Two people are looking for shelter, and the storm is still close. This song evokes a flight and tries to capture the fleeting moment of a break in the clouds – uncertain how long it will last, yet filled with a particular kind of grace. English and French answer each other throughout, leaving us unsure whether we’re hearing two voices or just one, inviting the other to join in their escape.” explains the singer-songwriter.

Grand Eugene

Album coming up, posted a few tracks on this blog before. This new single is upbeat, sunny, and features those breathy vocals of Melyssa Lemieux in a glorious fashion:

Melyssa was also part of the tender, more folksy Libelle:

Adèle Luisa

There’s a guy with a fish head mask in this video by ‘franco-italienne’ artist Adèle Luisa. To show you she likes it odd, psychedelic even. The music is sunny, laaaaaaid back, you want spring to start early. Check out the four songs on her EP, released last December. And remember her, when the sun starts shining.

Personal messages

So, i got this cover of Françoise Hardy’s Message Personnel by ElodieO. An updated version, with the desperation of the original in tact.

It’s one of the most gorgeous songs of Hardy, and covered many times. Here are a handful of remarkable versions. Like this one, in English:

A duet version, by two great vocalists:

France covering Françoise:

This is what they call a ‘sad banger’, crying in the discotheque:

Lots of fx, almost shoegaze:

Eva de Marce

Oh, the voice of Eva de Marce. It’s like running your fingers over a silk négligé. Like the first sun on a late spring morning, peeping through the curtains. Like fat strawberries, bursting on your tongue. Eva is the singer of Mexican duo Los Eclipses, but other producers love to add her vocals to their songs too. Like Jiony, from Mexico too. On his new album, Eva sings two tracks. Trip hop vibes, fat beats & sultriness.

Not the first time Jiony asked Eva to sing a French song, this is from 2022:

Lynn

New name on the block (ok well, new to me, she’s been making records since 2020), with a lotta soul & sexuality. Oddly enough, this video is just a fragment of the full song:

This is the full song:

Ofé

Great voice, great concept, great theme, gracefully executed. Ofé is her name. Oddly, never before featured here. While this song is also a winner. So is her album. Check her out.

Kolinga

I was clicking away on Spotify, when I suddenly heard this GEM of a song by Kolinga. Kept listening. And again. What a voice. What emotional depth.

Kolinga writes about this track: ‘This is the most necessary song I have ever written. In the midst of perinatal grief, while I was still bleeding, these are the words and sounds I needed to put down. Amidst the taboo, the pain, the guilt that we are told never to feel. I wanted to bring all these emotions to life, to freeze them forever, not only for myself but also for all those who couldn’t do it, all those who no one wanted to listen to. This song is also for that wonderful soul who did me the honor of accompanying me on this journey, a request for forgiveness on behalf of our societies that violently reject everything that cannot be seen. All this, in the most complete vulnerability of just a guitar and a voice.’

Are we @ FillesSourires HQ shocked that an artiste called Sale Gamine releases a song about cunnilingus? Surely not. La langue au chat (which means a lot of things in French, from ‘I give up’ to, exploring a partner’s private parts with your mouth) is the new, punching hit by Sale Gamine. Clip is coming up, until then:

Belgian singer Selah Sue recorded a cover of the Gainsbourg-penned Harley Davidson for a new documentary on Bardot. It sounds very 90s rock-triphop:

Of course, it’s not the first Harley Davidson version. Here are a few strong versions. This one by Mick Harvey & Anita Lane:

This one by Canadian duo Lola Dutronic, electronic, fetish-y:
