Y Note Music formed in Paris with vocalist Élise Lebrun, guitarist Antoine Chartrand, and keyboardist Louis Dubois. Their debut album "Les Amants Français" came out in 2016 and included the song "French Lovers," which became their breakout track. They followed it with albums like "Liberté" in 2018 and "L'Amour et la Vie" in 2020.
Their sound draws from French chanson traditions while incorporating contemporary elements, which drew mixed reactions early on. Some critics questioned their approach, while others found it refreshing. They've worked with musicians like violinist Vanessa Mae and accordionist Richard Galliano.
Élise Lebrun's vocals anchor their music, with Chartrand's guitar and Dubois's keyboards providing the instrumental foundation. They won a Victoires de la Musique award for Best French Group.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
