Crame from Mortauxjeunes Records contacted me and knew how to ring my bell to get me interested in Catherine Ferroyer-Blanchard: by mentioning Lio as a musical reference (he also mentioned Niagara, Elli & Jacno and France Gall - but he had me at Lio). And indeed, Catherine's bubblegum-electro is as good as any Lio-hitsong. But wait, it gets better: CF-B's songs do not get a proper cd-release, non, they will be released on that great 80s format: a cassette. When I read that, a nostalgic tear ran down my cheek. And it doesn't stop there: Catherine recorded a cover of Regrets' Rentrer Chez Moi Seule, a fantastic French eighties-hit. It stays pretty close to the original, but that's a good thing! Read all about Catherine, her blingbling upbringing, her extra-curricular activities and see her vids on her MySpace.

Regrets - Rentrez chez moi seule
I love her music, Chanson d'amour is really dancy in a cute innocent kind of way, and I so love the cassettes that I cannot not love this girl ;)
