(Behind the mirror)

Long awaited for by those who have seen her on stage, Laurence Revey’s first record is the result of a meticulous conception. This album owes a lot to the work of Chris Birkett. The London based producer of the album is credited with well known songs such as " Nothing Compares 2U ", originating from a collaboration between Sinead O’Connor and Prince.

First released in Switzerland where it broke sales records for a first album, " Derrière le miroir " was released in France by the label " Night & Day "

Laurence Revey is regarded as an emblematic singer of our era where the world and its music are within reach, resonating between earth and words. For example “Préièré” is a very beautiful song in Patois, a local dialect, in which Laurence’s voice carries us back to the mountains, where the dialect is spoken with roughness and vigour.

Last but not least, she offers us a beautiful yet stripped down cover version of " Round Midnight "from the jazzman Thelonius Monk with the lyrics from the legendary French jazz singer Claude Nougaro.
