Undoubtedly Europeans have always had an advantage over the “New World”- let it be in regards to technology, architecture, or something as simply luscious as art and music. When it comes to music, the French in particular have a certain “something” that charms those who stumble upon their melodies. The French music scene is as varied and diverse as it is in most part of the world’s scene; however, their fascination with synthesizers, electronic music, dreamy vocals and the inevitable romantic sound of their language makes acts like Émilie Simon simply irresistible.
“The Flower Book” serves as Émilie Simon’s curriculum vitae, in which she introduces her work as a musician and bona fide pop artiste to the “New World”.
Throughout the seventeen-track album, you can’t help but notice the quality not only of the superbly produced music, but also the worthiness and warmth of Émilie Simon’s voice- something rarely found in a usually cold and impersonal genre.
Émilie Simon shows of her singing chops in both English and French- and while she is no Opera singer, she knows her strenghts and limitations and works perfectly with her vocal range.
“The Flower Book” is a collection of electro inspired tracks. Some of them rock and electro-pop tinged… others subtle and abstractly organic. One track in which Émilie Simon was severely criticized for stepping out of her comfort zone might be what puts her out in the limelight: “I Wanna Be Your Dog” a cover from The Stooges.
If you enjoy Belanova and quality electro pop, with “The Flower Book”, Émilie Simon is set to become one of your favorite French musicians.
Must [legally] download songs: I Wanna Be Your Dog, Song of the Storm, Dame De Lotus, Flowers, Fleur De Saison.
