Additional Information
With her vibrant look of bright colours and sometimes improbable shapes, reminiscent of Émilie in a phantasmagorical and alternative Paris somewhere between Yves Saint-Laurent and the aesthetics of the film The Fifth Element, the American Sophie Grey is increasingly making a name for herself on the pop scene. She has opened for Sting and Shaggy, but is now taking the reins of her own musical destiny with the Retro Electro tour, which is also the title of her most recent album. It was after studying classical piano that the very young lady was carried away by the music of the 1980s, its melodic ease, its simple and catchy rhythms and its hyper-expressive visual theatricality. What she offers with Retro Electro is a respectful but not pastiche revisit of 1980s pop music, with all the panoply of gestures and tics of this archetypically styled aesthetic, but using the richness of contemporary electronic lutherie to give it a little extra “oomph.” It is perfectly suited to the retro-futuristic movement that is coming to life everywhere in cinema, literature and visual arts. Before her performance at Bar Le Ritz PDB in Montreal on October 12 (her only stop in Canada!), I had the pleasure of speaking with the artist who, what a nice surprise, also speaks quite exquisite French (for a short part of the interview). Here is the interview:
