Jeanne Côté

Very sweet, dreamy track from the second album by French-Canadian singer Jeanne Côté:

Delphine

From Quebec, and with a lotta sultry soul in her voice and music (gotta love that electric piano), this is the strongest song on Delphine’s new EP:

Marie-Flore

She’s coming over to Amsterdam, on March 13 (other dates HERE), which is nice:

Myra

From her wonderful new EP, this beautiful track by the exquisitely voiced Myra:

La Bronze

You wanted it more modern? But sexy? Try this:

Coline BLF

So, Coline BLF released an EP with six tracks. Some we already knew, some new songs. This is the opening track, and like other Coline-songs, it’s the cool sound of today’s French (-language) pop.

French-Candian post-punk. Hyphen hyphen hype! The song isn’t about condiments, ‘rather sarcastically alluding to the delicious tomato-based sauce with the line, “L’affaire est ketchup”, a Québec expression meaning: “All is well”.’

RIP Marianne Faithfull

Marianne Faithfull has passed away. She’s best known for The Ballad of Lucy Jordan, but she also sang several French songs, like this beauty, written by Gainsbourg:

Pâle Regard

Missed it when it was released, last Monday, but this New Order cover by dreampopband Pâle Regard works on EVERY day of the week:
