Although Emilie Simon is a conservatory-trained experimental musician with a strong theoretical grounding, she has also made a name for herself both as a mainstream soundtrack composer and as an electronic pop musician not far removed from Björk or the Knife, with a distinctively soft, almost babyish voice that at times recalls both early Kate Bush and Claudine Longet. Simon’s attractive mixture of art rock and catchy electronic pop was first unveiled on 2003′s Emilie Simon, released to positive reviews and eventually winning a Victoire de la Musique (the French equivalent to the Grammy) for best electronica album of the year.



Franky Knight is Simon’s fifth studio album, released in December, 2011. Many tracks also serve as the soundtrack for La Délicatesse (starring Audrey Tautou and Francois Damiens), based on the novel of the same title by David Foenkinos, directed by David and Stéphane Foenkinos.
