Maud, Miss


What I like most about les filles fragiles are the highly imaginative songs, and the fairytale atmosphere most singers try to establish. Take Maud Lübeck (pictured) for instance. An unsigned (!) singer from Paris (and Antarctica, apparently) who has a nice husky voice, and creates with a few instruments a pastelcolored world, that is both childlike and very grownup. Listen to Maud's songs here or here, or download the two she send me.
Miss Lilly likes Emily Simon, Björk and Camille, and it shows. Very delicate, very fragile, pretty electronics, pretty voices. Speaking of which: the voiceplay is maybe a tad too much like Camille or Claire Diterzi, Lilly needs to find her own voice some more. Still: a talent to watch.

  4. Maud Lübeck needs a label! Songs like 'Neige', 'Mystère Angel', 'Rue Du Aime' and the ones served here at FS deserve a bigger audience than just the internet-addicts surfing for French girls ;-)
