Many have sung about St Tropez, from Petula Clark to Henri Salvador. Vanessa Chassaigne is adding her two cents, in the form of a great retro tune. You almost want to put on an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini when you hear it. I posted about V. before when she was performing as Louka ( here ), but she dropped that moniker. On her Myspace are more songs, and she's performing quite a...

I’d heard the name Keren Ann before but hadn’t stopped to listen. Now that I have I can’t seem to get enough of her. She composed the second song, Jardin d’hiver especially for Henri Salvador, which of course became a big hit. My only complaint is that I didn’t discover her sooner.
