Pauline Croze returned in May with the album Bossa Nova, a collection of her favorite Bossa Nova titles, in the footsteps of artists like Claude Nougaro, Pierre Barouh, Nino Ferrer, Tom Jobim, Chico Buarque, Georges Moustaki, Vinicius de Moraes, Vinicus Cantuaria and many others. The singer who had accustomed us to pop sounds explores Brazilian rhythms here. This seems surprising. It is not. Between Pauline Croze and Bossa it is a long love story as she says herself: "Bossa has attracted me for a long time. The starting point was Ofeo Negra, a film I saw when I was 17: the soundtrack and the sound, the phantasmagorical favela and the allegories about death (…) What interests me in bossa is the guitar/voice ratio. The quintessence! There is a real sense of economy, a sense of stripping, but constantly a little nonchalant swing. It drags, it brakes, it floats." We find Pauline Croze for a new video excerpt, Tu Verras, title immortalized by Claude Nougaro and which is a French adaptation of O Que Será? (À Flor da Pele), original song by Brazilian Chico Buarque! Bossa Nova was released by Un Plan Simple / Sony Music
