French trio PORTLAND released their latest single and music video “Before You” this morning.
“Before You” visually and auditorially exists on the cusp of two worlds – 70s disco and 80s electropop, dawn and dusk, land and ocean, love and heartbreak.

“Color” by G.A.Y. (now You)
It’s so hard to find any information about “Color” by G.A.Y. (now YOU) because every word in that phrase is in practically every site.
So while BoxSpeaker can’t state much about the band, we can wonder is their name “G.A.Y.” or “You” but formerly “G.A.Y.” or “G.A.Y. (now YOU)”?

[NEW]: Portland Releases “Deezy Daisy”
French electropop trio Portland released their single “Deezy Daisy” via iTunes and the Maison Kitsune shop. It’s a very upbeat 80s pop sound mixed with Lily Pejon’s sultry French-accented vocals.
Check out their other song “You Don’t Know Me”:
Fun Fact: Portland’s singer is Lily Pejon, who also appears in other BoxSpeaker favorites such as the acoustic billiards hall version of “One by One” by The Napoleons and in her own cover of “Wooden Chair” by Angus Stone.
“Whistle” by Brisa Roche
This song is actually pretty old – I got it from a bunch of French music that my uncle gave me in 2010.
Brisa Roche’s “Whistle” is a modern woman’s interpretation of a cowboy folk The Carter Family type of style with a French-sounding voice, maybe even with a bit of a lofi take on Patsy Cline’s style.
Brisa Roche – though famous for French songs and a very French-accented singing voice – is actually originally from the US.
