19 France – Monts Et Merveilles (The Moon And The Stars) – Louisa Baileche
Yes, I know the French title translates as ‘Mountains and Miracles’, but that’s the official title, honest. On first hearing, I practically swooned over this. It’s absolutely beautiful. Warm and lovely as a Sunday morning under the duvet watching Dawson’s Creek while eating hot, buttered crumpets. One small problem though – when she presented the song on French TV for the first time, her hair looked like she’d been pulled through a hedge backwards. Sort out les cheveux, madame, and you could be onto a winner. It’s a warm, smooth song, with a gorgeous lyric, and some interesting African percussive touches. It sets out its stall very early on, launching into the hook with only a few seconds gone, which means you’re very familiar with it by the end. Gorgeous.
