It's a ray of sunshine on the French pop scene. Part-Time Friends, the duo of Pauline and Florent, have fully mastered the art of weaving impeccable earworms, assembling verses that bounce and choruses that hit the mark. Fingers Crossed evokes in turn the impeccable simplicity of Christopher Owens, wide open contemplative spaces, and the American dream. The gentle music of Part Time Friends highlights a band with many strings to their bow, and to whom a brilliant future is already predicted. Duets with Dan Black (Summertime Burns) and Granville (La mer & l'Alaska) appear on the album.
