Manufacture WARNER MUSIC FRANCE

Limited edition version of "Une Saison Volee" which means "One Stolen Season". Comes in a beautiful digipak with a bonus booklet. Following in the fine downbeat Gallic pop tradition laid down by Sergé Gainsbourg, Françoise Hardy & France Gall, Warner releases Françoiz Breut"s her third album, Une Sason Volee. Brought up in Cherbourg, Françoiz’s early musical influences were gleaned from her sister’s vast vinyl collection & some late nights in bed with John Peel (c’mon, the radio show!) After leaving school, she started singing in a cover band doing versions of The Kinks & X-Ray Spex. During this time she met & fell in love with Dominique A. (now a huge star in France). She accompanied him on stage for 3 years & sang backing vocals on his album "Twenty-Two Bar". Then towards the end of 1996 she realised she wanted to do something for herself. Working with Dominique, this sad elegant music slowly begun to evolve. There"s a subtle feminine edge to her songs; and with the cool brushes of Sacha Toorop evoking a 50"s jazz feel & the Hammond organ & slide guitar of Dominique A., a poignant canvas for Françoiz’s captivating vocals is formed. Think Nico"s "Chelsea Girl" and Lee Hazelwood"s "Requiem For An Almost Lady." Warner. 2005.
