Claude Lombard | Claude Lombard (1969) | Album

Claude Lombard’s 1969 self-titled debut (frequently referred to as Chante) is an avant-pop gem that sounds less like a artifact of late-60s yé-yé radio and more like a blueprint for 1990s indie-electronic music. Released on the heels of Lombard representing Belgium in the 1968 Eurovision Song Contest, this project saw the 24-year-old singer-songwriter completely bypass commercial expectations. Instead, she delivered a fiercely imaginative, avant-garde pop record that serves as a missing link between traditional French chanson and space-age pop experimentation.
