Quite an institution in the French alternative pop scene for the past ten years, Autour de Lucie have come back with an eponymous album full of soothing melodies and a luminous production. Without the aid of the band's former composer/bass player Fabrice Dumont, it was unclear whether singer Valérie Leulliot would manage to recreate the magic of past, but she delivers in spades, making this one of Autour de Lucie's best albums to date -if not the best. Enjoy the contagious enthusiasm of their delicious current single 'Personne n'est comme toi'.
