Veronique Samson

Worthy

Véronique Sanson (full name, Véronique Marie Line Sanson, born 24 April 1949, in Boulogne-Billancourt, near Paris, France) is a three-time Victoires de la Musique Award-winning French singer-songwriter, musician, and producer with an avid following in her native country. She brings a very personal vocal style to the singing of French pop songs: Her voice has a very strong tremolo. Unlike most previous French artists of the Sixties and early Seventies, who mostly released EPs usually consisting of a collection of singles, B-sides and covers, Sanson was one of the first female artists to release actual albums with a full-length artistic statement and comprising songs flowing together thematically. In 1972, her breakthrough album, Amoureuse, was reviewed by many critics as groundbreaking, and ten years after Barbara, Véronique Sanson became one of the very first French female singer-songwriters to break into stardom. One of her songs, "Amoureuse", was covered in English in 1973 by singer Kiki Dee, and became a major hit in the United Kingdom, and has been covered since by various other singers, from Polly Brown (1973) to Olivia Newton-John (1974) and a dance-music version by Illusive, featuring Amanda Abbs (1997). In 1974, Patti Dahlstrom recorded a second version with her own lyrics, entitled "Emotion", and this new version was covered by Helen Reddy (1974) and Shirley Bassey (1975). Many other covers of "Amoureuse" have been recorded in French, German, Japanese... Véronique Sanson plays piano and guitar.

Album: "Dignes, dingues, donc"

Dignes, dingues, donc
Back with a new album "Dignes, dingues, donc", one of the favorite singers of the French comes back to us proving that despite the trials of life, the artist is always present. Of a good musical quality, the album deals with his favorite subjects: love, alcohol, death ... At 67 years, the artist always manages with excellence the pop, the jazz, the groove and The rock, whose very varied arrangements, mix piano, rock guitars and symphonic strings. With the exception of the title "And I still call it", the rest of the album is rather cheerful and dynamic. Du Véronique sanson, without much surprise.
