French chanteuse Francoise Hardy gets her yesars with the Vogue label covered in this extensive collection; includes 50 tracks and original artwork.
More so even than her countryman and fellow pop star Serge Gainsbourg did in the 1960s, Francoise Hardy synthesized mainstream pop and rock elements into her take on the French chanson tradition. Influenced by Phil Spector's girl-group sound and the loungy, orchestral pop of commercial radio, Hardy's music of the 1960s is dense and breezy at once, marked by lush, hip production and the chanteuse's measured, bittersweet vocals.
BMG's superb two-disc set, THE VOGUE YEARS, compiles Hardy's work for Vogue during the '60s. With a whopping 50 tracks, well-selected and arranged chronologically, the set provides an excellent overview of the singer's early work, and her maturation during this pivotal period. Everything else about the package--from the liner notes to the vintage photos to the immaculately remastered sound--shines too, making THE VOGUE YEARS the Francoise Hardy collection to have.

Françoise Hardy was one of my favorite icons of the '60's, with her sweet clear voice, her songwriting talent, and her incredible style. She just oozed style. Eventually getting bored with the life fame brought her, she followed her own path out of the limelight, but these songs from the "ye ye" years of international stardom are a treat for her fans.
Though some of the early tracks have less than perfect production and backup musicians, it's a terrific overview of her early career. She penned 40 of the 50 songs on this CD set, and some of them are beauties. "L'amour ne dure pas Toujours", "La Nuit est sur la Ville", "Voila", and many more.
There's a gentleness and a simplicity to these songs that delights me, and her voice, though limited, is expressive and appealing. The booklet insert is excellent, with lots of photos, a bio, and detailed song info...to quote from it, "...the Françoise Hardy of the mid sixties still looks and sounds truly modern", and I agree wholeheartedly.
