In the world of stunningly beautiful pop chanteueses from France, none chanteuses nor pops the way the great Francoise Hardy did, or is that does? Alyson mentioned that one of her songs is on the soundtrack of the trailer for Wes Anderson's upcoming movie.As good an excuse as any to listen to some of her Le Pop Francais, a sound whose elegant cabaret, blown out of style before the end of the 1960s, has taken a second life in the 21st century.
Me? I'm Lebanese enough to have always enjoyed French pop and even if I hadn't, I'm not blind.
I never got to see her on stage but I spent a tidy portion of my childhood watching her album covers. When you got past that she was a truly fine singer, a soupson of dryness to her hardcore though temperately orchestestrated pop songs.
here's another pix:Jesus, she is even prettier than Dominic Sanda
