Our Take

Ah, the French New Wave. A genre that evokes images of cigarette smoke-filled cafes, berets, and existential musings. This compilation album brings together some of the most iconic tracks from this era, showcasing the diverse range of artists that made up the movement.

From the hypnotic melodies of Serge Gainsbourg to the rebellious spirit of France Gall, this album is a veritable treasure trove of musical delights. Each track is like a mini time capsule, transporting listeners back to the vibrant and tumultuous era of the 1960s.

One standout track is Francoise Hardy's haunting rendition of "Tous les garcons et les filles", a melancholic ballad that captures the essence of young love and longing. Hardy's ethereal vocals paired with the lush orchestration create a captivating listening experience that will leave you pining for a simpler time.

Another highlight is Jacques Dutronc's infectious hit "Et moi, et moi, et moi", a cheeky and irreverent anthem that perfectly encapsulates the rebellious spirit of the French New Wave. With its catchy chorus and playful lyrics, this track is guaranteed to have you tapping your feet and singing along.

Overall, this album is a must-have for any fan of French music or anyone looking to add a touch of continental cool to their music collection. So grab a glass of wine, put on your best black turtleneck, and prepare to be transported to a bygone era of artistic rebellion and creative expression. Santé!
