FLEUR
The contemporary Yé-Yé singer FLEUR is back with her ambitious second record: Bouquet Champêtre means ‘field bouquet’: an assembly of flowers in different colours, shapes and lengths. Not neat and monochromatic, but wild, uneven and composed of different kinds of flowers. Each flower is beautiful in itself, but combine them in the right way and you get an overwhelming palette that accommodates all your senses
That ’s exactly the feeling that this record evokes. You can enjoy each song with its own sound and feel, while FLEUR’s velvety voice constantly makes you yearn for the next moment. Albums like Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys, Odessey and Oracle by The Zombies, 1968 by France Gall plus the soul of Motown are important touchstones. Tonight on the boat a wonderful nostalgia trip with a fresh contemporary twist.
