Francoise Hardy - Le Premier Bonheur [LP - Red]

Release Date: September 12, 2025
Label: Omnivore Recordings

Celebrating Françoise Hardy's indelible mark on the history of modern music. • Hardy's second album, newly remastered. Françoise Hardy's Vogue years have left a mark on the history of French and international music. Even today, the 5 years between 1962-67 remain an exceptional moment in her career, the one when she exploded in the eyes of a generation that was born during or just after the World War II, the generation that would be part of the May 1968 Paris protests. Hardy exploded not only in France alongside her fellow "Yéyés," but also internationally, where she became the symbol of French elegance, talent and charm. The United States, Japan, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain- no one could resist Françoise, who recorded most of her hits in English, Italian, and German. On Hardy's second album she teams with Marcel Hendrix as arranger and producer resulting in an album with a broader and more international feel. While a number of the songs here were composed by outside songwriters, Françoise shows here great songwriting ability on the majority of the album's songs.
