Souvenirs Pop #[nn]

A charming 2018 release from Hélium, Souvenirs Pop is Cathy Karsenty's warm celebration of musical memory, its cover illustrating a vintage radio at the root of a hand-drawn tree whose branches bloom with the names of beloved French artists — Étienne Daho, Juliette Armanet, Vincent Delerm, Brigitte, and many more. The playful, colorful typography of the title perfectly sets the tone for what promises to be an affectionate journey through pop culture and nostalgia. At 9,90 EUR, it's an inviting little volume for anyone who loves French music and the stories behind it.
