Marie Laforêt – Marie Laforêt (LP)
€4.95
Marie Laforêt's self-titled 1964 release often known as "Viens sur la montagne", is a defining French pop/chanson LP. It blends traditional folk with lush, pastoral orchestrations. The 12-track record includes standout covers like "Blowin' In The Wind" and original hits like "Les vendanges de l'amour".
With her melancholic and velvety vocals, Laforêt manages to create a peaceful, almost cinematic atmosphere. The album balances between light pop and serious folk, with the French adaptations of American folk songs standing out in particular.
