Les Fleurs de Fouxi
Fouxi is just plain fun. It fits that the first part of her name is “Fou”, the French word for “crazy”. Fouxi’s Chansons join a multicoloured mix of melodies with inventive arrangements and surprising sounds. What’s more, they are all supported by the chansonnier’s sometimes squeaky, sometimes smoky but always wonderfully unconventional voice. (cast-magazine 2008)WE LIKE FOUXI WE LIKE FOUXI the German neo-chansonnier delights us with a soundcultural mix’n match. Her music combines classical music, in cooperation with the Munich Philharmonics, traditional instruments like the duduk, an Armenian flute, and especially programmed electronic rhythms. It feels good that someone is actually creating new sounds off the beaten Timbaland track and is even being rewarded for it. (Tush-Magazine 2008)
„For me Fouxi’s music is a little bit as if the melancholic Triphop of Bristol meets a certain French scene like Benjamin Biolay or Mathieu Boogaerts in a funny coloured universe: poetic, lyrical, melancholy, and unique. A pleasant flowery universe. True artistic personality. A splendid flower that blooms and seduces. ” Christophe Perie (artistic director for Luc Besson)
Airy yet not vain; filled with depths, but without the melodrama; Chanson sweetness, devoid of those sleepy bedroom acoustics. It’s just plain Fouxi!. (Camilla Hildebrandt, Radiojournalist Deutschlandradio)
For good old Francoise Hardy, who has just turned 65, melody always played and still plays a very important role! Fouxi is not only in this respect one of Madame Hardy’s most talented successors. And the fact that Fouxi is German will probably especially delight the former student of German language. (Gerd Heger, Monsieur Chanson, Saarländischer Rundfunk)
