Editor's note

Keren Ann's quiet, reflective songs from Paris

An Israeli-born singer-songwriter whose eight albums move between French and English with a gentle, steady hand.

If you want to hear her at her most characteristic, try 'Dimanche En Hiver' or 'Que n'ai-je.' They're both good examples of how she builds a whole mood with very little.

Her music has this unhurried quality that feels like a private conversation. Songs like 'Dimanche En Hiver' and 'Les Rivières de Janvier' are spare and thoughtful, built around simple guitar lines and her calm voice. She's been making records for over twenty years, from 'La Biographie de Luka Philipsen' in 2000 to 'Bleu' in 2021, without ever sounding like she's chasing a trend.

She moved from Israel to Paris at twenty and released her debut in 2000. Her 2016 album 'Lady & Bird' dealt directly with her breast cancer diagnosis and recovery, which gave her later work a different weight. The songs stayed quiet, but the subject matter deepened.
