Yep, yet another yé-yé singer, but this one was also a "vedette" of the French New Wave, starring in the famous Godard film, "Masculin, féminin", in which she plays a young yé-yé singer (insert corny joke about how easy the part must have been).
On my first few listens to this collection I didn't really care for it; it seemed generic and boring. However, after many listens, the pop hooks dug into my brain and now I find myself humming "La pluie du ciel" and "Comment le revoir" while at work. Neither the singing nor the instrumentation are anything special, but the vocal tone is nice, the inflection is great and the melodies are pretty catchy. This collection is definitely worth a few listens, even if you can only find one or two songs that you really enjoy.

"even if you can only find one or two songs that you really enjoy.. "? I love each one of these adorable songs :
A' la sortie de ma classe ! D'abord dis moi ton nom , La flamme et le feu !, Laisse moi ! Mon ange guardien ! Hope you know Godard's film " Masculin , Feminin" !
( all on youtube ) No doubt she's' definitively one of my preferred 60s yéyé singer :)
