Editor's note

Vanessa Paradis, from teen pop to French chanson

A singer who moved from a teenage hit into a long, varied catalog of albums and collaborations.

For a sense of her range, try 'Joe le Taxi' and 'Walk On The Wild Side.' They bookend the shift from teen pop to something rougher.

She broke through at 14 with 'Joe le Taxi,' a pop single that defined her early fame. Later songs like 'Walk On The Wild Side' and 'Les Acrobates' show her shift into more layered, adult material. Her work with Serge Gainsbourg and Lenny Kravitz adds depth to a career that's never stayed in one lane.

She first performed on stage at age seven. After 'Joe le Taxi' in 1987, she released albums steadily from 1988's 'M & J' through 2018's 'Les sources.' Her relationship with Johnny Depp drew media attention during those years.
