From her stint in La Patère Rose, the francophone electro-pop group she cofounded as a teenager in 2003, to her subsequent solo career, Montreal's Fanny Bloom has proved herself a smart chanteuse with a knack for funky, ambitious pop. The classically trained keyboardist offsets her baby-doll voice in attention-demanding fashion with ‘80s-style synth-pop, anthemic piano balladry, and tropical-pop exotica, living out her fantasies in the over-the-top spirit of Britney Spears.
