Exclusive Collections - Viktor Lazlo BOX1403

Artist Biography by David Jeffries
A stylish and sensual singer, Sonia Dronier became Viktor Lazlo when Belgian
producer Francis Depryck discovered her and put together a package inspired by
strong sexuality and black-and-white film. Born in Lorient, France, Dronier
spent her college years studying and modeling in Brussels, Belgium. After she
spent some time singing backup vocals in Depryck's band Lou & the Hollywood
Bananas, the producer rounded up a set of nostalgic and noir-flavored songs and
renamed her after a character in the Humphrey Bogart classic Casablanca. The
stylish full-length She began her career in 1985 with a mix of songs sung in
French, English, and Spanish. A French-language cover of Julie London's "Cry Me
a River" ("Pleurer des Rivières") became a big hit across Europe a year later.
In 1987 she hosted the televised broadcast of the Eurovision contest, which was
held in Belgium that year. That same year she had another Euro hit with
"Breathless," a duet with American singer James Ingram. After a move back to
France in 1989 she released a series of successful albums before the ambitious
Verso appeared in 1996 with funk and dub influences and a guest appearance from
the classic reggae rhythm section of Sly & Robbie. Critical response to the
album was so overwhelmingly positive that Dronier claimed interviews promoting
the release had focused on her music instead of her clothes for the first time
in her career.

This is one Viktor Lazlo you witl probably not find anywhere else than here.
It wa produced in 1990 in Hong Kong and only one release was made. For ans of
this unique chanteuse - this is a must.
