Louis Delort & The Sheperds: Outre-Manche

A French artist singing the praises of British musical culture is probably custom-made for this blog, so I
could't ignore the song  Outre-Manche by Louis Delort & The Sheperds.

Namechecks for the Moody Blues, Led Zeppelin and John Lennon are all in order for the tasteful slice of folky pop rock.

Louis Delort was a finalist on the first season of The Voice in France. Since then he played in the musical  Les Amants de la Bastille.

The track comes from the trio's debut album. A release date's has not yet been set for its release, but looks well worth waiting for.

Now all it takes is for the song to actually get played in the radio in the UK, although given the usual reticence about playing anything beyond the anglo-saxon music world I fear we might be waiting a while.

More's the pity.
