Sounding more like such authoritative '60s French pop vocalists as Jane Birkin and Francoise Hardy - distilled with the breathy bossa nova of Astrud Gilberto -- than her contemporaries, Coralie Clément released her low-pitched album in 2002, Salle dES Pas Perdus. The record is a collaborative elbow dirt between her and author/composer/performer - and Coralie's blood brother - Benjamin Biolay, wHO wrote and arranged all of the 12 songs. Born into a melodic mob in Villefranche-sur-Saone, France, Coralie could discover all of the instruments of the orchestra by the age of triplet, studied musical theory at little Phoebe, and at sextuplet, she took up the violin. She never considered herself to be a singer, though. She played out much of her adolescent years sense of hearing to the records of Serge Gainsbourg, Birkin, Hardy, the Beatles, and, funnily, Vanessa Paradis. Calling herself a "groupie" of her brother's, she conditioned all of his compositions, and she began to reinterpret his songs, imbuing his poetical ballads with both a fleshly black gall and gaiety. It wasn't until a much subsequently Paris inspect with Biolay that he found this out, when she began to sing his songs back to him as he strummed. He recorded this loose school term, and her first qaeda record volume ensued.
