The same goes for this album. You can enjoy each song for its own sound and feel; but listen to the album as a whole and you will find yourself floating on top of Fleur’s warm breathy voice in a musical Bouquet Champêtre filled with rich colours, sounds and smells.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soundflat Records","offers":[{"title":"Blue | LP.","offer_id":50384039575883,"sku":"1170294","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/4d369bd9-f4bb-4ce6-9bd3-fbd80712bd56_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726284149"},{"product_id":"tu-es-un-etre-parfait","title":"Tu Es Un Être Parfait","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew 7” from ‘chanteuse extraordinaire’ Fleur!

Her first two albums and additional singles alongside her captivating live performances have won us all over instantly. Her latest album shows a new facet of the singer and puts the Fleur-sound firmly in the garage while keeping her charming French 60's-Yeye-girl-vibe.  \"I wanted to cut loose and show everyone I can get wild,\" says the unstoppable madame Fleur. \"This might just be my favourite album yet -- it's still me, but with a rawer, spicier edge! Plus, I even play a little piano on a few tracks.\"  All songs on this album were penned by Dutch cult legend Mark ten Hoor, the driving force behind garage rock trio The Kryng. These guys also laid down all the backing tracks, so expect scratchy guitars, pounding bass, and thundering drums, alongside African rhythms, vibraphones, growling electric pianos, and searing guitar solos.
