Classical, French songs, World music
France

BlauBird has a deep, haunting, lyrical voice. Delicate lyrics and nocturnal melodies, soft and strong at the same time. It's also about soulful blues and poetic flight.

Having sung Mahler, Dowland and Schubert for many years, BlauBird offers us her self-abandonment, her strangeness and her raw emotions. In so doing, she asserts a singular identity in today's world of song, at once demanding, melodious and nourished by influences from all over the world.

On her album, “Le Ciel est Partout”, she decided to work with producer and percussionist François Lalonde, who had previously worked with singer Lhasa de Sela. A decisive reference after a first record produced by Olivier Slabiak.

With this album, which in 2023 made its way to the Prix Joséphine, the Académie Charles Cros, and the Prix Moustaki, where it won the Prix Catalyse, BlauBird takes us even further into her strange universe, to the depths of her musical universe.

BlauBird takes us even further into her strange universe, to steamy, soothing lands at the confluence of traditional music, folk, classical and chanson.

In short, a bewitching voice for nomadic tracks, where the influences of Barbara, Joan Baez or Sinead O'Connor mingle with the scent of classical arpeggios and the multiple languages (French, but also sometimes English, Yiddish, Arabic or Spanish) that BlauBird handles as well as her exaltation on which we fly back to her roots in Eastern Europe and lose ourselves in the hanging gardens of the Orient.
