about

This is a feel-good love song, part of her upcoming concept album to be released in early 2023 where the artist writes “letters” in song form to people that had an important place in her life: the man she left, the man she hopes to meet, a friend that could have become the love of her life…and one where she makes amends with her estranged father. With a dreamy and light lo-fi beat reminiscent of Japanese Breakfast and Clairo, this is a bilingual song with verses in her native French and choruses in English, mirroring her pre-pandemic life in New York City and sudden move back to France where she is performing regular shows in the resort town of St. Tropez. Doucet was thrust into the French music scene after living and working in New York City for over ten years, leaving the day before all flights to France were canceled due to the New York City lockdown in March 2020.
“Une Love Song” stands apart from Tiphanie Doucet’s previous releases with the new lo-fi electronic sound that she co-produced along with Raphael Dhervez and Bill Cox in France. True to her mixture of French and American cultures, she later added to the recording the remotely tracked bass by Mike Abiuso from his Brooklyn recording studio. Tiphanie’s sweet and peaceful vocals and lo-fi beat are augmented by the addition of the Celtic harp, an instrument she studied when growing up in her native France.
Tiphanie is known for her acoustic singer-songwriter breakout single “Under My Sun” released in 2018, and while rebuilding her career in the French music scene in March of 2022 Doucet released the Vanessa Paradis classic “Joe Le Taxi”, the first release in this new electro-pop sound.

"The drum machine acts as a lovely contrast to vocals that are sweet and human and with all the inbuilt frailties of life built in as part of the deal. It means we get the focus of someone speaking to us with the doors of her heart flung open to the world. And in the process we hear plenty of ourselves into the bargain. "Une Love Song" is a song that is light on its feet, proper outdoor restaurant in peak summer evening mode. Eyes gazing across the linen covered tables just get a little more tender because Tiphanie is providing the soundtrack. If you are not a love song aficionado this song will have you doubting yourself. " Mp3 Hunger

lyrics

Si j écrivais une love song
Avec des mots doux
Peut être j dirai I was wrong
De partir après tout
Au fond de mes yeux 
Je te peins dans le bleu
De mon rêve
Un amour habillé
De fleur jamais fanées
En hiver


Love me love me love me
Love me love me
Be my man

Tell me tell me tell me
Tell me Tell me
que tu m aimes


Maybe we can find
A place for us to hide
Away
Where no one is around
Throw me in your arms
Be my baby


Si j t envoyais une love song
Une lettre sur ton palier
Everybody would tell me
Not to do this way

Sur un papier têtu
Ma vérité nue
Bien fière
Ta main dans la mienne
We don’t give a damn
On s’aime

Love me love me love me
Love me love me
Be my man

Tell me tell me tell me
Tell me Tell me
que tu m aimes

Maybe we can find
A place for us to hide
Away
Where no one is around
Throw me in your arms
Be my baby

I know we will find
A place for us to hide
Away
Where no one is around
Hold me in your arms
Be my baby


Translation :
If I wrote you a love song
With the sweetest words
Maybe I ,d say I was wrong
To leave you after all

When I close my eyes
I draw you in my sky
So blue
A love dressed
with flowers
that never dies in the winter time

V2
If i wrote you a love song
a letter at your door step
Everybody would tell me
Not to do it this way

The simple truth
On a stubborn page
So proud
Your hand in my hand
We dont give a damn
We're in love

about

Tiphanie Doucet Jersey City, New Jersey

Doucet's work embraces a folksier, jazz-tinged gentleness. Its subtle warmth instantly feels like home, pervading the senses in a way not dissimilar to Norah Jones or Lucy Rose. Yet, Doucet’s dreamy vocal quality is markedly distinct, especially in how she tenderly incorporates it into her music to tell stories unique to her own outlook and experiences. ... more
