Françoise Madeleine Hardy, French pop chanteuse
Just when your 256th listen to your electronica/shoegaze playlist starts bringing you back to earth (meaning, it temporarily loses its novelty), sixties girly French pop fondly called Yé-yé pops you back to aural heaven. Girls crooning in heartbreak/with hope/with sheer innocence produces nothing short of cinematic soundscapes smelling of vanilla, cinnamon, and Gitanes.
