An enchanting folk-pop singer/songwriter with a guileless approach, Pauline Croze pairs chic espresso sophistication with the unpretentious warmth of condensed milk. She began teasing out songs on the guitar as a teenager in the Parisian suburbs and was performing in front of small club audiences by her early 20s, winning fans with her clear, unaffected vocals and deeply felt lyrics about heartache, tears, and beauty. Croze has experimented with styles, trying out gentle bossa nova beats here, electro flourishes there, but her songs retain their essential sweetness and steady strum.
