Album Notes & Community Reviews

With lyrical contributions from Jarvis Cocker and Neil Hannon, and lush production handled by Air, the French actress delivers a remarkably sophisticated dream pop record. The breathy, intimate vocal performances are perfectly framed by sweeping, cinematic string arrangements and vintage keyboards. It successfully bridges contemporary indie sensibilities with classic French pop romanticism.
