About the Record

Emilie Simon has given new life to French pop and electro. She is one of the most eloquent windows to contemporary French music. Her manipulation of English and French, her gift for finding the perfect musical articulation and resonance, the millions of precise musical details that become clearer and more remarkable each time your hear them, and her blend of electronic beats with subtle live orchestrations make Simon a unique artist, gifted with a beautiful and distinct voice.

One of the most successful artists of past years, she ranks with the likes of Daft Punk and Air, and is one of the most eloquent windows to contemporary French music. She is often called the French Björk. Added to all of this is the high-quality mixing by genius Markus Dravs, who has worked with Brian Eno and Björk, among others.

Emilie Simon also composed the French soundtrack to the worldwide smash hit March of the Penguins, which gave her huge commercial success and crowned her as the master of electro-pop. As her American fan base is rapidly growing, Milan Records is proud to release Simon's first US album, The Flower Book. The album includes mystifying songs based on otherworldly themes. Each song is a story of its own with its own atmosphere, distinct from the previous one...

The Flower Book is a superbly coherent opus that will establish Emilie Simon as a genuine new talent to take note of.

Emilie Simon出道单曲〈Desert〉〈沙漠〉，曲风神秘沉溺，Emilie Simon 爱蜜莉西蒙 幼童的歌声清纯地感伤爱情的过往，听觉的巨大落差叫人心醉。而音乐录影带拍的更是有趣。一开始 Emilie Simon 爱蜜莉西蒙 是个小小的洋娃娃，坐在大大的椅子上。随著头顶上大大的昏黄灯泡摇晃，绑两个冲天辫双颊擦上娃娃妆的 Emilie Simon 爱蜜莉西蒙 自手臂、胸口、身体里头一股一股的拉出藤蔓以及花朵，伴随著在专辑封面爬满 Emilie Simon 爱蜜莉西蒙 背部的红底黑点小瓢虫在藤蔓上嬉戏。『喔，我的挚爱，我的灵魂伴侣，日日夜夜，分分秒秒，想将你拉进沙漠，我心中的沙漠。你声音中的颗粒，每每使我欣喜；请容许我偶尔将带你进沙漠，我心中的沙漠。有时在夜里，在窗边驻足，我等候并且陷入，沙漠里头，我的沙漠里头，在这里.......。喔，我的挚爱，我心好沉重，日日夜夜，分分秒秒，想将你拉进沙漠，我心中的沙漠。喔，我的挚爱，我错过那时机，离开了大家，离开了你，就这样。有时在夜里，在窗边驻足，向风中抛出我悲伤的灰烬，就这样。』忽然一双好大好大的手伸过来，爱怜的抚著 Emilie Simon 爱蜜莉西蒙 因为长了花与藤蔓而裂口的手臂，并拿针线为她缝回光滑的肌肤；缝著缝著，光影穿梭，时光流逝，最後完成时，突然发现为她缝线的那双手，已经跟她的手一样大小了 --- 原来不知不觉中，她已经长大了！以往又高又大的椅子，现在已容纳不下她的身躯；但 Emilie Simon 爱蜜莉西蒙 一样带著稚气的表情，看著周遭的世界。
