Céline Schmink's new LP : “Paris-Memphis”
The french singer and songwriter Céline Schmink releases her new LP, “Paris-Memphis” This LP is comprised of 13 classic tracks for a total playing time of nearly 50 minuts. It’s a tribute to road trip and american bluesy music.
The album is partly folk and partly indie rock with a bluesy attitude and a very “Chris Isaak” soul. The album is humble but ambitious. Céline Schmink’s “Paris-Memphis” addresses itself to fans of romantic bluesy ballads and South music including two timeless classic folksongs she plays with the autoharp: “Lil’Liza Jane” and “Aura Lee” popularized by Presley as “Love me tender”.

These 13 tracks are sung in Schmink’s signature: a dark and emotional timbre. While Céline Schmink is an accomplished singer with many singles and tracks to her credit, she remains best known for her romance ballads as “Your breath” or “Les yeux froids” in duet with californian singer Chris’M.
Her tracks are original and wholly her own. Her lyrics seem drawn from a travel diary. “I like to perform, to think about my past memories and of course I like trips and roads. Paris-Memphis celebrates the power of music to bring people together and focus on our common humanity” she explains.
Céline Schmink's Live LP : "Lil'wild ones"
Céline Schmink also releases a live LP named "Lil'wild ones : One french voice. One autoharp. Live improv session". It's a tribute to Colorado and wild spaces. The album is minimalist folk, mainly in english. Céline Schmink has got a very french accent singing in english what makes the listening experience pretty exotic !
