French folk-blues chanteuse Anaïs first surfaced fronting the popular rock band <a href="spotify:artist:3tr6H8MlRp4E3WFNHB8l43">Opossum</a> before mounting a solo career in 2003. Born Anaïs Croze in Grenoble on August 20, 1976, she grew up in Marseille and later studied English in Aix-en-Provence. Anaïs led <a href="spotify:artist:3tr6H8MlRp4E3WFNHB8l43">Opossum</a> from 1999 to late 2002, when the band dissolved in the wake of its debut effort Excuse-Moi, J'voulais Te D'mander. Her first solo tour began the following spring, and in January 2004 she recorded her live debut LP, The Cheap Show, which hit retail a year later. The album's peculiar mélange of chanson, folk, blues, pop and rap struck a chord and it became a massive word-of-mouth success in France, entering the top ten and eventually selling over half a million copies – a sensational amount for a country in which no live debut album had ever been a success before. The album was reissued in 2006 with bonus tracks and a DVD. The following year, Anaïs collaborated with LA punks <a href="spotify:artist:172GKuwc6NQPqUPfFa9UEv">The Blood Arm</a>, and wrote and performed a one-woman musical entitled The Amber Story. Her first proper studio disc, The Love Album, produced in collaboration with hip-hop legend <a href="spotify:artist:4fv5w0LJib9OMbXQegqZ01">Dan the Automator</a>, dropped in 2008, but was not followed by another new record until 2012, when A l'Eau de Javel hit stores. ~ Jason Ankeny & John D.
