Genre: Franco-pop
Sound: Sweet, poignant vocals sing about lost love over simple yet evocative instrumentation.
If you like: Celine Dion, Regina Spektor, Sara Bareilles
Why you should listen: Coeur de Pirate’s quiet, twee indie-pop stylings have made her one of the leading voices in franco-pop, but she deserves a wide audience with English-speakers as well — her emotionally charged vocals and gentle piano-playing convey emotion beyond words.
Best track: Tu peux crever là-bas
