Review by Olga Shinyakova

Album Review: Que Le Temps Me Dure Bleu Lavande by Les Sœurs Étienne If you're into music that feels like a warm hug from the past, then Que Le Temps Me Dure Bleu Lavande by Les Sœurs Étienne is right up your alley. This French gem falls under the Folk, World, & Country genre and comes with all the charm of a lazy Sunday afternoon in Provence. Released on Decca Records, it’s got this timeless vibe—thanks in part to the lush orchestration by Raymond Legrand and the harmonious magic of Les Sœurs Étienne themselves. Now, let me tell ya, two tracks on this album really stuck with me. First off, there’s “Bleu Lavande.” It's not just the title track; it's a mood. The melody floats around like lavender fields swaying in the breeze—you know, those moments when life slows down just enough for you to breathe? That’s what this song does. You can almost picture the sisters singing together, their voices blending so effortlessly it’s kinda hard not to close your eyes and drift off somewhere nice. I mean, who wouldn’t want that? Then there’s “Que Le Temps Me Dure,” which hits different but still grabs hold of you. It’s one of those tunes where the lyrics feel personal even if you don’t speak French (Google Translate is your friend here). There’s an emotional weight to it, like they’re telling a story only they truly understand, yet somehow you do too. Maybe it’s the way the orchestra builds behind them, giving the whole thing this cinematic feel. By the end, you’re left wondering how something so simple can be so powerful. What makes this album stand out isn’t just its sound—it’s the feeling it leaves behind. Listening to these tracks feels like flipping through an old photo album, except instead of pictures, it’s memories you didn’t even realize you had. And yeah, maybe that sounds cheesy, but hey, good music has a way of doing that. One last thought—I couldn’t help but notice how perfectly imperfect this record is. Like, it doesn’t try too hard to impress you, and honestly, that’s what makes it stick. Oh, and fun fact: apparently lavender symbolizes calmness and healing. Go figure, huh? Guess sometimes the universe aligns in weird little ways. So grab yourself a cuppa coffee—or better yet, some wine—and give Que Le Temps Me Dure Bleu Lavande a spin. Trust me, your soul might thank you later.
