Album Notes & Community Reviews

Elinor Blake successfully channels mid-century French pop and vintage y茅-y茅 aesthetics, delivering a breezy, cinematic homage to 1960s European sunshine pop. The record boasts sophisticated chamber arrangements and upbeat, bilingual vocal performances that perfectly evoke retro-futuristic lounge music.
