Séverine (who travels between Paris and Reykjavik) has a all-consuming love for the written word. She's a parttime journalist, translator, reviewer and even a psychologist. Her love for paper and ink shifted one day to music. No, make that 'lyrics'. She recorded her lyrics to a children's taperecorder, a-capella. Partly because she liked the nakedness of her lyrics, partly because she's no musician. Then she decided to dress up her lyrics, and this is were Bertrand Louis comes in. He set her lyrics (and her high, breathy voice) to music. Very sweet music, tender, at times childlike. But jazzy too. A full album will be released later this year, accompanied by a short film - no doubt the script is written by Séverine as well.

In other news: I've added two more Brel-covers, both by Eastern European ladies, here.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenHi, I guess you are not aware that there is/was a french singer with this exact same name who had several hits in german and french 1970-1973. She won the Eurovision Song Contest 1971 (back then under the french name Le Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson) with the title "Un arbre, une rue". If I had that song as mp3 I would send it to you, unfortunately I have only the vinyl and don't know how to transform that.
