“MIDNIGHT BUTTERFLY”

My Everything My Love Affair…..first single available soon!

France AYONG who had already lived for several years between London and Paris decided to settle in the British capital to develop her music and work with Soul, Funk and Pop artists on her new album "Midnight Butterfly."

France, who continued working on her own album with several tracks already recorded, had the idea of bringing together major London  Motown and Pop composers and arrangers, as well as Junior Giscombe of course, and a mixture of  extremely prestigious guests of Soul and Pop.

My Everything My Love Affair is the first single of the album available soon

My everything My Love affair is a real pop soul song, absolutely fabulous and the first single of the Album, This song as the song SWEET BABY also included in the album, was recorded in London  with the same fantastic London musicians team directed by the producer Matt WALTERS.

France recorded “Black Woman” for the album in collaboration with producer Jeff Lin in New York.  A video clip was directed by Fabrice Michelin (A guy, a girl, Samantha Oups) and Bang Productions.

France was introduced to Junior Giscombe through a mutual friend who works for British television and is a top DJ for a London radio station.  

Junior, having listened to and watched France’s performance of  "Black Woman", couldn’t wait to meet France with a view to working together.  Similarly, France had great admiration for the international career and work of Junior and did not hesitate to say yes.

The two artists decided to create their first single together with a new version of Junior’s famous international hit "Mama Used to Say."  France decided to give a new and fresh direction to the title with verses in French and Junior singing the famous chorus, giving an explosive result.

She gets under the skin of a temptress who, 30 years after the first title, comes from the land of love.  France has to recall that Junior is beautiful love, reminding him that he must “live his life” as so aptly put in the original title ... "Mama Used To Say".
