"When Daphné sings, the child in all of us appears, or re-appears. Her voice caresses and squeezes the emotions." A lot of other big words and expressions are used in the biography of Daphné. But, well, they're true. The 30-year old from Clermont-Ferrand is heavily inspired by myths, legends and fairy tales. The interviewer from Le Monde (pdf file) looked into her hazel eyes and felt obliged to write: "Her eyes say: 'I'm not a singer, I'm trying to tell stories'." In Le Figaro, she stated that she created a different, magical world, to cope with reality, and with time. She sounds very fragile, as if she's trying to hold down waves of emotion. Right after the first song on her album, you want to rush over and comfort her.
Daphné was discovered by Benjamin Biolay (producer of, and song writer for many filles sourires), who produced five songs on the recently released L'emeraud. How someone sounds who's that imaginative, plus is said to be inspired by Ravel, Purcell, Stevie Wonder and Sting, check Ton Coeur. (Also check the wonderful videos on her site.)
