French singer-songwriter Laura Cahen combines acoustic and electronic sounds in her music to create soulful, self-reflective soundscapes - always carried by her crystal-clear voice. Influences from artists such as Laurie Anderson, Laura Marling and Adrianne Lenker are also clearly audible. In the form of poetic love songs, she deals with questions of femininity, homosexuality and feminism, but also with ecological issues.
In the ten years of her career, Laura Cahen has already played numerous tours in France as well as parts of Europe and America. Her last release featured guest appearances by Juliette Armanet, Jeanne Added and Yael Naim, among others. Three songs from her second album ‘Une Fille’ have been used in major television programmes and films, including ‘You’ (Netflix), ‘Tales of the Walking Dead’ (AMC) and the Oscar-nominated film ‘I Lost My Body’.
Vif! - alive - is the name of Françoiz Breut's new album. She could not have chosen a more fitting title. Because with ‘Vif!’ she has finally achieved what she has always aspired to: namely to unhinge the chanson, free it from the strict mould of the genre and bring it back to life. The liberties she has taken are palpable throughout the album. Deliberately going beyond the line endings of the verses, she plays with unusual accents and quite naturally breaks the organisation of verse, bridge and chorus.

"Fredda makes the most beautiful and sensual chansons far and wide."
(Anna-Bianca Krause, WDR Cosmo)
"Musically, "Phosphène" is a big step forward."
(Ullrich Maurer, gaesteliste.de)
"The forward momentum of "Vent diable" or "Long" and the off-the-cuff groove of "Viens avec moi" go straight into the blood. "
(Frank Lähnemann, Rolling Stone)
"Fine album by one of the most interesting voices in nouvelle chanson. Record of the month."
(Thomas Bohnet, Le Tour)
"The melodies, coupled with the allusive poetry of the lyrics, create a balance between melancholy and happiness, departure and retreat, nature and intimacy. Beguiling."
(Loop Magazin)
"Light-hearted, spontaneous, easy-going and full of verve and energy."
