Song of the day – 585: The French Pop Dream

The record label reckons that maybe I will like the 1st single & video from The French Pop Dream, featuring French singer Anne Brugière. Why yes. Yes I do.

The record label suggests that the 1st single & video from The French Pop Dream may be the diametric opposite of [Black] Sabbath. Why yes. Yes, I can hear that.

The record label reckons that folk will like the 1st single & video from The French Pop Dream if they also like Eliza Doolittle, Kirsty MacColl, St Etienne. Why yes. Yes I do (with some reservations). And yes I do.

The record label reckons that the 1st single & video from The French Pop Dream evokes an upbeat mood, recalls Brill Building Pop, Sunshine Pop. Why yes. Yes, I can hear that.

The record label reckons that the The French Pop Dream are making an album of songs inspired by the Eurostar, travel, yearning, belonging and waitressing… and the first three are on this EP. Why yes. Yes, I can believe that.

Great stuff. Pitched perfectly and elegantly at the perfectly dishevelled market. Makes me think of the wry humour and strongly visual aesthetic of él records, but you knew I’d say that.

Significantly stylish.

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
