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.
