First: theater, the stage, words. Then the notes. And now
Leonore Boulanger sings. She learned in the cafes-concerts, and then in concert halls in Paris...
She also recorded discs.
In early 2009 she released "
Contretemps", a first opus that tells a lot about her influences, but with her second
album "Les Pointes et les Détours" she is inventing herself. Her music settles spaces, weaves vocals surrounded by a roll of shadows, impressionist vocals and mechanical Afro-folk. This decorum follows the lead of words that always push forwards, like a prose without resolutions, a suspended floor... This equation is due to her lyrics and also to her intimate
songwriter, the guitarist Jean-Daniel Botta, who plays with her on stage with the great pianist Alexandre Saada and drummer Laurent Series.
Her new album, "
Les Pointes et les Détours" is released on March 2010.
