For a project on culture I had to do in French class, I made this booklet, or zine, if you will, on the music genre called "Yé-yé," and I thought it turned out pretty cute. Above is the cover (illustration is of Sylvie Vartan), and below is the introduction.

 

 

Here is one of my favorite songs from my research: "Tous Les Garçons et Les Filles" by Françoise Hardy. It translates to "All the Boys and Girls," and is about her finding herself surrounded by couples and feeling lonseome. This song was the one that essentially made her famous, but she reportedly hated it. I love the song for it's soft, sweet, bubblegum-y sound. Also, the video is awesome! (but a little dizzying so take caution)
