Astrid Adler
Look at those lips. That smouldering look. Astrid Adler released, as far as I can tell, two singles in the late eighties. They were never released on cd. Perds Pas Son Temps is the best of those two, it’s synthesized jazz-pop (think Matt Bianco, Blow Monkeys, Swing Out Sister or, from France, Blues Trottoir), but in a husky, Lolita-esque way. I’ve tried looking up more info about Astrid, there’s an Irish artist with the same name but I don’t think it’s the same girl. Somebody put a bunch of videos on a MySpace account, with more songs. This is the video for Perds Pas Ton Temps.
I got the single from FS-reader Patrick, who gave me a whole bunch of French 80s singles by girls like Astrid, expect more of this in the upcoming weeks. If you have more info on Astrid, please let me know.

Right out of the catalogue of cool. Was our sex life in the 80s really so much better? 😉
(P.S.) looking forward to hearing some more of your French 80s singles! Nice one Patrick!
Thanks so much for posting this track. I’ve never heard it before but it instantly reminded me of my late 80’s love affair with formulaic, soft-focused French pop.
Astrid’s ‘Passeport pour l’été’ (video available to view at http://www.myspace.com/video/astrid-adler/14-06-1989-clip-passeport-pour-l-39-ete/51262718) sounds so like Vanessa Paradis’ ‘M&J’ album, it surely must have come from the same producer or publisher?
