M & J

Vanessa Paradis

Shimmering 1980s French pop led by a whisper-thin vocal. A mix of tropical synth textures, gated drums, and adolescent romanticism.

August 8, 1988 · Polydor

Find on Amazon

A playful and sun-drenched collection of synth-pop that masks a slight, youthful melancholy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic, rolling percussion and smooth saxophone hook that opens Joe le taxi.
The transition into the English version of Marilyn & John where the breathy delivery takes on a cinematic, Hollywood quality.
The surprisingly moody and elongated synth outro of Scarabée.
