J'avance - A ce que les autres pensent de moi

Description

Billie, 23, blends English heritage with French sensibility: nervy rock with tender words, momentum and fragility. She has been singing and playing piano since age 6, growing up between the dream pop of Cocteau Twins, the post-punk of Joy Division, the audacity of The Velvet Underground, and the voices of France Gall or Françoise Hardy. The film Stop Making Sense by Talking Heads was a turning point. Trained at the American School of Modern Music and then moving to England, she refined her technique, wrote in French, and shaped a feminine rock sound, between clear vocals and distorted guitars. Her first EP J'avance explores desire, melancholy, and urgency. Produced between London and France with Zacharie Berdugo (Ayrakaz) then Clément and Adrien from Kids Return, it asserts an organic, melodic, and electric pop-rock. With her new EP À ce que les autres pensent de moi, Billie delivers an intimate and generational project about identity, the gaze of others, and the traces of the past—how we build ourselves, between discreet wounds and lingering memories.
