April March

April March is an American vocalist whose elegant indie pop material is often performed in French.

April March’s songs tend to hark back to the pre-rock days of European pop and French yé-yé music. Following stints with several bands, she launched a solo career under the guise of April March and recorded material throughout the ‘90s and early 2000s.

Having had a reasonably successful career as an animator, the first April March release, titled ‘Voo Doo Doll’, came out in 1992. In January 1994, April March’s ‘Gainsbourgsion!’ was released in France on Eurovision. 2002’s Triggers heightened her profile with a blend of classy production and lush, nostalgic French pop. April March reached new ears in 2007 when the 1995 track ‘Chick Habit’, her interpretation and translation of Serge Gainsbourg’s ‘Laisse Tomber Les Filles’, was featured in Tarantino’s film ‘Death Proof’.
