Nice music, very simple pop. The lyrics are making sense. A good CD to listen to from time to time. The singer as a great voice. A french CD that changes from the ritual Edith Piaf or Celine Dion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Darned catchy, November 8, 1998

This review is from: Autour de Lucie (Audio CD)

Very good. Nice poppy, rhythmic tunes, lyrics full of typical French melancholy. "Le ballade du deserteur" is the best. I will admit, this CD becomes addicive. It does help to know some French, though-if not enough to know what the lyrics mean instantly, enough to get out a dictionary and translate them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Echapee Belle, November 3, 2000

As already noted this CD is incorrectly titled as live. It is, in fact, a US release by Nettwerk Records of "Echapee Belle" (Beautiful Escape), the bands 1996 release from la village verte.

Beautiful melodies and sexy vocals. If you're looking for gourmet this isn't it but if you like fast food from time to time Autour de Lucie will hit the spot. It's not just burgers and fries though. Vallerie Leuillot's lyrics are heart felt and often haunting, her storytelling being reminiscent of the style of Harriet Wheeler. In fact it is probably not unfair to compare the band's sound to that of The Sundays (although all comparisons are a little unfair).
