"This is a both a delicately and beautifully crafted album by the fabulous Autour de Lucie fronted by the sublime Valerie Leulliot whose angelic dreamy vocals simply melt the cold English heart.
Although ADL sing in French they are difficult to categorize as just French pop since the influences range from classic French 60s pop (Francoise Hardy) to contemporary indie-dance such as Saint Etienne (cf. 'Chanson sans issue'), as well as shoegazing/4AD (cf. the colossal rock beast of 'La verite' and the spooky Cocteauseque 'L'eau qui dort'). Words can not suffice to describe the sheer Gallic elegance and eloquence of Valerie's French indie-dream-pop machine. Viva la revolution!"

Autour de Lucie est parfait.

"There is French music and there is Autour de Lucie. Do NOT confuse the two. It's shocking that something this fresh, original, soulful, and at times, gritty, has come from the same country that made Johnny Hallyday a star...but it did. The songs are well-written, the lyrics (if you understand French) are intelligent, and the arrangements are tight and punchy. If you like indie or alternative or if you are just open-minded, give this album a go. It's my favourite of the three."

This is how the Pop genre should sound like!
