Klemence

If you look at the pictures on her site, you might think that Klemence (née Clemence) from Versailles is just another lounge-singer. Nice dresser, great hair, but probably working her way through the Great American Songbook every night. Well, you're wrong. Ami Ami is a breezy, at times gripping collection of folky acoustic songs. My guess is that the songs are self-penned, or made in collaboration with musical partner Marlene - she duets with her a few times. It doesn't say so in her bio, actually very little is revealed on Klemence, apart from her concerts (one stint in Holland, no less) and her collaboration with Michel Fugain.
It might be me, but I wasn't able to find more info on the web.
That leaves the album, which I got via Le Radiophone. If you know more about Klemence, please share!
