It seems like i've spent the last 25 years discovering the music of Francoise Hardy, first hearing of her long, long ago when she appeared on a track by Blur. And then providing vocals on a B-side for Air (which happens to be one of my all time favorite songs). So i gradually began finding her stuff, listening to a track or album here or there. And i loved it all. Then in 2011, Alex Zhang Hungtai, under his Dirty Beaches moniker sampled Hardy's "Voila" for his great track "Lord Knows Best." I was completely and utterly hooked after that, clamoring for any and all of the music Hardy has lent her lovely voice to. Listen to the transcendent "Voila" below, our Daily Jam.
