Album Notes & Community Reviews

The American singer meticulously recreates the bubbly, retro aesthetic of 1960s French pop, delivering tracks in both English and French. The album relies on vintage production techniques, prominent Farfisa organs, and surf-rock guitars to faithfully resurrect the effervescent spirit of the Y茅-y茅 movement.
