Album Notes & Community Reviews

Making her international breakthrough, the artist delivers a collection of remarkably hushed, delicate songs predominantly sung in English. The acoustic instrumentation is lightly embellished with gentle orchestral flourishes, framing her breathy, intimate vocal performance. The record masterfully blurs the lines between French pop traditionalism and contemporary indie folk minimalism.
