There is a lot to say about Theodora, about her roots (Congolese, Swiss), about her hyperfeminine image, her hyper-dancepop, but there is also this song. It was recommended by Coline BLF on her instagram. It’s great (and a-typical for the rest of Theodora’s music)
So, in 2021, we said, hey, there’s this singer called Lonny, she’s from Quebec, oops, no, she’s from France, and she’s an artist to watch. Keep track of Lonny! And then, we didn’t follow our own advice. So now, in 2024, we have to catch up. Lonny released an album (Ex-Voto, on Bandcamp HERE), and an EP, with reworked versions of song on her debut album, live tracks, demo’s. Her sultry, yet powerful voice is something else. There’s classic chanson in her voice, deep Americana and Stereolab’ish experiment. This is my favorite new track:
