Background notes
Archive material and source history
Marianne Oswald was a singer who recorded in Paris during the early 1980s. Her debut album, 'Jeu de Massacre,' came out in 1980 and gave her a cult following, particularly for the title track. She also recorded songs like 'La chasse à l'enfant' and 'Les feuilles mortes.'
She performed with musicians like guitarist Jean-Pierre Massiera and bassist Marc Hérouet. Her style was raw and emotive, and her androgynous presentation and material about alienation drew both admiration and criticism at the time.
Oswald released several more albums through the decade, including 'Nuit Magique' in 1982 and 'Le Chant du Cygne' in 1984. Her work explored themes of love and rebellion, often with a haunting quality that distinguished her from more conventional French singers of the period.
