keren ann, not to be mistaken for my bff kerianne, is an artist i have been loving these days. i love both her english and french songs. in an interview from American Songwriter she says the below about writing songs in english vs. french. when translating and talking about french songs in french classes, i have always found the lyrics so deep and unclear so it was interesting when i found this thought of mine confirmed.
Keren Ann writes in both English and French, a decision influenced not only by geography but by the story she’s telling. “Writing in French,” she explains, “it’s a language that permits you to be more dramatic and old, but sometimes I get fed up with it and go back to English, where it has to be just as it is-straight, raw…you can’t disguise things as much.”
i love her voice and her music is beautiful and interesting. she is also another example to me that i need my bangs again.

below an english song of hers i love.
i LOVE this one.
