The six-track EP, released in September, has been welcomed by critics, who have described it as somewhere between hiphop and French chanson, with elements of the 1980s. Her official bio refers to Barbara and Kanye West, to Tyler the Creator and Catherine Ringer.
They're big names to throw around when it comes to describing an artist who has only released one EP so far, but it's an assured and confident piece of work and is capable of staring down any suggestion it doesn't deserve to be in such company.
If you were into predictions for 2021 - perhaps not the wisest thing given how 2020 turned out - you'd probably be safe to say she'll be one of the artists of the year.
Prior to her musical career, P.R2B, or Pauline Rambeau de Baralon as she's known to her family, studied film production and made a short student film entitled Bird's Lament. The title came from a piece from Moondog, the story being about a young student who discovers the music of the legendary underground composer.
Her experience working in film means she's as comfortable directing her own videos as she is performing in them.
This month also saw her perform a live set from La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, as part of the ARTE live concert series. Once normality is resumed, we'll hopefully be seeing live performances on other stages too.
