Music

We’re full on this planet; there are two options. Either we kill each other, or we help each other.
An eco-friendly song? Maybe.
A social song? Maybe. A topical piece?
Definitely.

There once was a lady named Charlotte Leclerc, Who sailed on an iceberg from here to afar. “Comme un iceberg,” she’d rhythmically chant, While wearing her Moiré dress for a nautical jaunt.

“Delodio!” she’d cry to the curious fish, While balancing teacups on top of her dish. Her iceberg spun ’round like a crystalline top, With nary a reason or purpose to stop.

The porpoises laughed and the sea turtles cheered, As Charlotte’s strange vessel completely disappeared. Then popped up again near the Isle of Kazoo, Where nonsensical creatures said, “How do you do?”

Charlotte Leclerc just curtsied and smiled, Her journey, though frosty, was wonderfully wild. “Delodio Moiré!” became her strange call, The most elegant iceberg captain of all!

‘Moiré’ is the second album by French musician and singer Charlotte Leclerc. Deeply influenced by Reunion Island, where the artist grew up. Steeped in the humid heaviness of the Indian Ocean and caressed by the freshness of the primary forests, Charlotte’s songs are nourished by the small details of everyday life that we rediscover when we slow down the pace of our busy days. She uses the sound of her synthesisers and drum machines to create a blend of ambient, electronic music, and pop, and speaks to us about human relationships. Two-person relationships and universal relationships, those that connect us all and allow this planet to function a little better. Remember, “Moire” means “changing.”
