Marie-Flore

Real name Marie-Flore Pol, French pop singer Marie-Flore was born in Clichy-la-Garenne in October 1986. Growing up between the Paris region and Brittany, she began by taking viola lessons, before entering the Conservatoire de Courbevoie, where she continued her musical apprenticeship from age 6 to 14. With parallel training in piano and guitar, she performed in Parisian bars and posted her first compositions on the Internet. In 2009, she released her first self-produced folk album, More Than Thirty Seconds If You Please, followed by concerts and a collaboration with rock band Stuck in the Sound. A string of support acts followed, before the release of the pop-rock album By the Dozen (2014) on the Naïve label. Marie-Flore then signed to Pascal Nègre's 6&7 label for the Passade Digitale EP (2017), switching from English lyrics to French, with a duet with Julien Doré on "Palmiers en hiver". The piano-composed album Braquage, which follows in 2019, is well received by critics, but the planned tour has to be interrupted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Marie-Flore takes advantage of this enforced break to compose songs for the next album, Je Sais Pas Si Ça Va (2022), from which the viral hit "Mal barré" is taken. The singer followed this up with a tour that included Francofolies de La Rochelle, Printemps de Bourges and concerts at La Cigale and Olympia in Paris. In 2023, this album was reissued with four previously unreleased tracks and three versions backed by a string quartet. In 2025, the fifth album Ex Æquo is unveiled, with the singles "Tout dit" and "Ex aequo".
