I decided to do a musical inspiration today, for something a little different. One of my very favourite artists is Émilie Simon. She is a French vocalist who also writes and composes for all of her albums. I first had the chance to listen to her music a couple of years ago when a friend introduced it to me. I usually don’t like electronic music very much, but I found her songs so delicate and haunting I was charmed right away.
I think she has released a total of five albums, and did the soundtrack to the documentary La Marche de l’empereur. My favourite of her songs are Chanson de Toile, Blue Light, Fleur de Saison, Opium and Flowers. I really love how she manages to combine a natural, very soft voice with an unusual electronic score. There really is nothing else like it.
Her music videos are also very unique, the video for Flowers reminds me of something from Tim Burton and the clips for Fleur de Saison and Desert focus on flowers and vines growing out of her body in an artistic manner. In Dame de Lotus she walks through a Chinese ink drawing.
I think she’s very beautiful, creative and has a great sense of style too!

Bonsoir^^
ooh, you know Emilie Simon. That’s great ! I like this singer ; she’s singing really well, her songs are beautiful and her dresses are wonderful. In fact, her dreamy and fancy universe corresponds me very well.
Sorry I’m afraid that my talk is a little imcomprehensible.
Bisous^-^

I love Emilie Simon, too! The video for ‘Flowers’ is just the cutest thing…but I think my favorite song by her is Fleur de Saison. It’s so ethereal.

Look what you’ve done Miss Skye! You went ahead and got me hooked on Emilie Simon! She has such an unique voice.
I like her video for “Fleur de Saison” tis very fantasy like.
But my favourite song of hers so far is Sweet Blossom, because it reminds me of Tim Burton’s “Nightmare Before Christmas” for some odd reason.
