Françoise Hardy

On one of my random internet adventure I stumbled upon a video of Françoise Hardy.  Listening to Mon amie la rose, I was immediately captivated. Since returning from Paris, I have been obsessed with anything French and this was no exception. 

Françoise Hardy started writing music and performing at French clubs as a teenager. Durning  the 60s and 70s she become a household name as a singer and actress. She defined a generation with her bohemian style and breathy ballads.

You might not understand everything she is saying but her voice draws you in. There are many new musicians coming out of France. After listening to Françoise, you can hear her voice in their music.
