This is a gem of a best-of album from Fleur that invites you into a world of retro-futurism! This is Fleur's first best-of album in Japan, containing 13 tracks that cast a psychedelic spell on y?-y? French pop, changing images in a dazzling, kaleidoscopic way! Formed in 2019 with Floa Elman, utilizing songs that Dave von Raven and Arjan Spice of The Kik, who inherited the Dutch Nederbeat, had recorded as Les Robots. With their sound bursting with a retro-futuristic world, Fleur has garnered attention, and all of their 7\" singles have sold out since their debut. Their passionate fanbase continues to grow steadily. This Japan-exclusive best-of album, \"Fleurir au Japon,\" was planned to fully showcase Fleur's charm, demonstrating their musical breadth and depth by incorporating elements of British rock such as The Beatles and The Kinks, as well as bossa nova and garage rock. At the same time, it is a collection of works that conveys a pure love and respect for 1960s pop music. The album opens with \"La Tribu des Trompettes,\" characterized by its murky synthesizers and high-pitched guitar, followed by \"Petit Homme de Papier,\" where listeners can enjoy a European-style arrangement of Laurel Canyon's psychedelic pop. The sharp bassline is impressive, and both tracks brilliantly fuse the musical styles of the 60s and 70s, gripping the listener's heart from the very beginning. \"Mon Ami Martien,\" the band's highly acclaimed debut single, is a masterpiece that showcases Joe Meek's influence with its sparkling synthesizers and spacey keyboard breaks, while the electric guitar sound flashes like lightning. From the unique \"La Reine des Abeilles,\" which shifts romantically from fuzzy distortion and a spooky melody, to other tracks, their diverse musicality is evident. Their songs, a masterful blend of nostalgia and freshness, are sure to provide a new and exciting experience for Japanese listeners. Herman's melancholic vocals, a blend of girlishness and ladylike charm, are particularly noteworthy among Fleur's many appealing qualities. While reminiscent of Fran?oise Hardy, they also possess a modern edge, giving a distinctive color to their nostalgic songs. Rather than simply imitating past music, this album reinterprets and revives it with a modern sensibility, making it a must-listen for listeners who want to rediscover the charm of 1960s French pop, or who are exploring retro sounds with a modern twist.
