Michel Villeneuve: Influences

French singer/songwriter Michel Villeneuve took inspiration from the delicate melodies and poetic lyrics purveyed by these graceful artists. The sweet, mystical words of Leonard Cohen's “Suzanne” provide a template for the younger singer's own melancholy style, while the French indie rock of “Apprivoiser les avions” by Avec pas d'casque has informed Villeneuve's relaxed, folky sway.
