Vanessa Paradis: Ces mots simples

A new video by Vanessa Paradis for the track Ces mots simples, the first cut to emerge from her forthcoming new album.

While the song first emerged in September, the accompanying video came out just a couple of days ago.

The song was written by her husband Samuel Benchetrit, the video directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino.

It's a charming and low key song with a quite tasteful and minimal video by Mondino, an artist who has worked with some of the biggest names in music since the 80s, and most recently created the cover of the new Mylene Farmer album.

The new album by Vanessa Paradis sees her working with author and musician Fabio Viscogliosi, as well as Adrien Gallo from BB Brunes.

Her album Les Sources is due to be released on November 16 and is available to pre-order on digital platforms.

Vanessa Paradis: Ces mots simples

A new single from Vanessa Paradis, with the track Ces mots simples emerging ahead of the release of a new album later this year.

The song was written by her husband, film director Samuel Benchetrit. The couple met during the making of the movie Chien in 2016, Paradis starring in the film that Benchetrit directed.

While musically best remembered in the UK for a hit single she had in 1987 at the age of 14, Vanessa Paradis has gone of to a career that has seen the release of six studio albums so far, collections that have included collaborations with Serge Gainsbourg, M, Benjamin Biolay and Lenny Kravitz.

She's won multiple Victoire de la Musique awards over the years, including best female artist, best pop album, and best music video.

As an actress she's had similar success, from her César award for Most Promising Actress in 1990's Noce blanche to multiple awards for her performance in Café de Flore.

Her new album follows 2013's Love Songs, a double album produced by Benjamin Biolay that reached number one in France.

Les Sources is released on November 16.
