FLEUR - Bouquet Champêtre
Contemporary Yé-Yé diva FLEUR will soon release her second album Bouquet Champêtre . After the success of her debut album ("one of the best albums of 2020" - M. van Nieuwkerk) she is now back with her ambitious second album. Bouquet Champêtre means 'field bouquet': a nonchalant bunch of flowers in different colours, shapes and lengths. Not tight and monochromatic, but wild, uneven and composed of different types of flowers. Each flower is beautiful in itself, but combine them in the right way and you get an overwhelming whole.
The same goes for this album. You can enjoy each song with its own sound and feeling, but listen to the album as a whole and you float on FLEUR's voice over a musical field bouquet filled with colours, sounds and smells inspired by albums like Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys, Odessey and Oracle by The Zombies, 1968 by France Gall plus the soul of Motown. Great music from the sixties, but FLEUR is of now and she is in full bloom.
