She had never truly left them. With Malabar Princess, her third album, Vendredi sur Mer makes a return to her roots, to the landscapes where she grew up. She abandons the combativeness that animated the lyrics of Métamorphose to rediscover the gentleness of Premiers émois, with a new touch of nostalgia. But if Malabar Princess takes its name from a 1950 plane crash on the surface of the Bossons glacier, it borrows nothing from the associated catastrophe. Far more than a crash, this third album is a return to a land long deserted: a sincere record, nourished by poetry and doubts, reflecting an artist who has learned to listen to her desires.
