Maison Planàterre 'Je dirais non', et bien moi je dis oui. Quelle belle chanson à écouter en silence tout en intériorisant la beauté des harmonies et des textes. Bravo! Favorite track: Je Dirais Non.

about

Penelope's innate charm and gentle spirit sparkle throughout the album, as she flawlessly weaves in and out of different musical genres and from French to English, bringing us a welcome sense of hope and joy, during these strange and uncertain times.

Led by her ethereal voice - somewhat reminiscent of the female singer/songwriters of the 60's and 70's- her angel-like harmonies and the faithful sound of her nylon-string guitar, Penelope and her talented team of L.A. musicians, will carry you, as the title "One Way Ticket To The Sun" suggests, to a warm, intimate and faraway place where you can leave your winter boots and blues behind and forget about the current social and political climate, for a moment or two...

A smile, a swimsuit and a twinkle in your eye are the only three things you'll need to bring on Penelope's journey, where the sun always shines.

This is the artist's second full-length album, recorded by her dear friend and Grammy award-winning music producer Sheldon Gomberg (Ben Harper, Rickie Lee Jones, She And Him, KD Lang), at his studio the Carriage House, in Los Angeles.
