We are certainly not talking about an album that is exactly "rock" (although there are some more "intense" moments), but if you want to listen to a beautiful pop music album, then Laetitia Sadier is just fine.

Laetitia Sadier Source Ensemble - Find Me Finding You (Drag City Records, March 24, 2017)

"Find Me Finding You" is the first album released by former Stereolab frontwoman Laetitia Sadier with her new open project "Laetitia Sadier Source Ensemble". The album was released last March by Drag City, which serves as a historical “cradle” for the French singer and musician, who once again demonstrates her great style and elegance in a series of synthetic pop compositions that draw on jazz and bossa nova just as much as on yè-yè. Electronic symmetrical constructions intertwine in a multifaceted manner within a psychedelic dimension reminiscent of Os Mutantes and vocalizations worthy of Rita Lee, filled with hypnotism and the use of echoes that is neither excessive nor extravagant, but perfectly functional to the overall plan. Honestly, it’s an untouchable pop album that might be overlooked compared to more prominent names who present the same things in a nearly garish and far less inspired manner. Well done, as it shows that there is no need for glitter and lace, nor to "raise the voice" with stomach-turning sounds and bad taste to truly be heard.
