Emilie Simon was one of the artists I blogged about in the early years of FillesSourires. Twenty years after the release of first single ‘Desert’ (the whole album is reworked, too) she re-interpreted that first single:

Original version:

Chill out track, with strong Julee Cruise/Twin Peaks vibes:

Videoclub, je t’aime. It seems that the duo is dead, because singer Adèle has a solo single out. Videoclub does gets mentioned in the credits. This track still has that languid 80s vibe that I love, but more pop added.

From Paris, this punky duo (Camille & Margaux) just released a new EP with fierce, fast, catchy tracks in the vein of Liminañas, Wet Leg and the like. Great videos too.

Great video, great song:

New French singer Clair, who records under the wings of Philippe Katerine. Her music is reminiscent of Nancy Sinatra and Anna Karina. It’s all retro, but hey, when spring’s coming, you DEFINITELY wanna hear these soothing sounds, no?

From Montreal, with Melyssa Lemieux on vocals, this is very very cool modern pop:

Lovely tribute to Paris

Canadian pop heroes Ariane Roy & Valence team up for a lovely duet:
