The new single by French artist Tiphanie Doucet is quite a refreshing take. It is a chilled-out lo-fi pop song, with verses in her native French and the chorus in her adopted language, English. It’s yet another piece that highlights her trademark emotional vulnerability in songwriting which is amplified by her seductive vocal delivery. “Une Love Song” is part of a new album concept that she is starting to release one by one starting with this one, where Tiphanie writes “letters” in song form to people that had an important place in her life: the man she left, the man she hopes to meet, …and one where she makes amends with her estranged father.
Currently living and performing in the seaside resort town of St. Tropez in the South of France, this new song perfectly mirrors her current life. The vibe and production bring you straight to a seaside resort hideaway with her, but the verses in English remind us of her pre-pandemic life in New York City. Doucet made the sudden move back to France the day before all flights were grounded at the beginning of the COVID lockdown in March of 2020, and the artist found herself thrust into the French music scene after living and working in New York City for over ten years.
Accompanying the single release is the “Une Love Song” music video, shot in France, where we see Tiphanie writing her letters, set in a retro-vintage vibe, perfectly colored to set the ultimate chill tone of the music. Aerial shots of her riding her bike in her countryside home give us a sneak peek into who she is as an artist and where she came from. The lighting and the dreamy camera focus are the perfect pairings to Tiphanie’s sweet vocals and audio.
“Une Love Song” stands apart from Tiphanie Doucet’s previous releases with the new lo-fi electronic sound that she co-produced along with Raphael Dhervez and Bill Cox in France. True to her mixture of French and American cultures, she later added to the recording the remotely tracked bass by Mike Abiuso who also mastered the track, from his Brooklyn recording studio. Tiphanie’s sweet and peaceful vocals and lo-fi beat are augmented by the addition of the Celtic harp, an instrument she studied when growing up in her native France.
Tiphanie is known for her acoustic singer-songwriter breakout single “Under My Sun” released in 2018, and while rebuilding her career in the French music scene in March of 2022 Doucet released the Vanessa Paradis classic “Joe Le Taxi”, the first release in this new electro-pop sound.
Look out this fall and winter for show dates in New York City and Los Angeles, for this is one of the hardest working songwriter/performers in the industry, and nothing is holding her back.
