She is a vocal jazz sensation in the richly diverse Parisian scene. Now, Lou Tavano releases her first album, a work that will garner as much attention as the fiery red hair that frames her face. Each song on "For You" is its own little universe, revealing Tavano's extraordinary talent: creating a musical universe where words carry as much weight as the notes.

Lou Tavano
France's new vocal jazz sensation: Vocal jazz with a distinctive profile, depth, and that special something. She is the emerging vocal jazz sensation from the vibrant Parisian music scene, amidst a backdrop of illustrious names. Quickly, Tavano's exceptional talent became evident: creating a musical universe where words carry as much weight as the notes. "I can't make music without words," she confesses. Everything she sings, she imbues with a unique meaning, drawn from the echoes of her own story. In addition to "interpreting role models" like Nina Simone and Billie Holiday, Tavano draws inspiration from a diverse range of personalities. She mentions Joni Mitchell "for her art of storytelling," Tracy Chapman "especially for her flow and her way of presenting lyrics," and Jacques Brel, who "can lay something very precise bare." "For me, there is no singing technique," says Tavano, even though she possesses the skill. "When the interpretation is right, the voice follows. It's always an experience when what you feel aligns with what you express." Lou Tavano has the talent to make us sensitive and captivated when she sings. With a voice that enchants.
