SWANN on JUKEBO.fr
One month ago, a guy from JukeBo.fr sent me an email saying that he would like to ask me some questions and me to play for an acoustic session. We were supposed to do it late april, but i was terribly ill (and it seemed like a lifetime). I mean, I couldn't speak anymore, and I was unable to do anything but sleep.
So ... last Sunday, Stephen came at home with the Jukebo team, and we played Loneliness. You can also read the interview (in French) on Jukebo.fr.

Interview for La Mairie de Paris
In February I was interviewed by La Mairie de Paris.
The interview was based on a very simple idea : "I remember...", so we talked about my childhood... in French of course !

Loneliness
This videoclip was made by my friend Victor Picon who stayed at home for a weekend in February. He shot this video during the soundchecks at La Loge. The song that is played is called "Loneliness".

I spent three days in Switzerland one week ago. It was really good to go there again. I played The Rocking Chair (Vevey) on Friday night with Mocke and Stephen, as the opening act for An Pierlé ; and the following day I played in a small and cosy bar in Geneva called La Galerie, on my own. It felt weird to play alone, just like I used to do when I started playing live when I was 17. But it was nice to see that people were listening silently and respectfully to all my songs.
And last Tuesday, I played in Rennes, at L’Etage. I was supporting this mythic and legendary Woodstock band, Ten Years After. It was a great honour to play before them, on the same stage, in front of a 800-people audience. I’ve never been that nervous before a gig, believe me... Stephen was so nervous too... And JB, my boyfriend, was terribly anxious when he first saw the crowd in the room, ten minutes before i started playing. The first song i played was “Will I See You Again”, on my own – Stephen wasn’t playing. It was actually very frightening, but I was so nervous that i had the feeling to be playing it for the first time ever. We played 7 songs, the show lasted 25 mn. I was very surprised that people were silent – they really seemed to like the songs and the atmosphere that was created.
I will post a video very soon.

Last night i dreamt that my hair were so long that I could feel them on my hips. It was a strange feeling. Unfortunately i must admit that my hair are not that long, though i wish they were.

Some beautiful pictures taken by three gifted photographers...
I played at La Loge on February 12th, with six musicians (Bradney Scott, David Berland, Amaury Blanchard, Stephen Munson, Mocke Depret and Hugo). It was like an orchestra, i felt like I was flying and spiritually dancing to the sound of the instruments. I'll always remember this moment. Sophie Jarry and Victor Picon took some beautiful photos of the show. After the gig, we all went to my place to drink some wine and eat some biscuits and peanuts (and a big plate of pasta with arrabiata sauce, yes...). Then I spent the day with Victor Picon, we had a very tasty brunch and he took some pictures. You can see all these photos there and there !
We also played at L'International last Sunday, with Mocke and Stephen. Vincent Gauthier was there too ! He took a series of portraits that are really special and unique. Well that's my feeling. See the photos there.

Recordings at Steve's studio // Part 2 !
Last Saturday, i spent the afternoon at Steve Prestage's studio with Stephen ... We recorded the backing vocals on "Loneliness", "I'll say a prayer" (amazing surprise, you'll see!), the lead vocal on "Cigarette Song" and the harmonium + lead vocals and backing vocals on "God Is Dead".
It was an important step for us, because we've made some major choices, artistically speaking... This is a glimpse of what "Loneliness" is becoming ...
