'En Route' is the stunning debut album of young soulful French
chanteuse Caroline Lacaze. It tells her story as a musical roadtrip.
The 'swinging mademoiselle' released a string of successful 45s on
renowned labels such as Mocambo, Tramp Records and Legère Recordings,
appeared on the Mighty Mocambos' album "The Future is Here" and became a
regular feature of the group on the subsequent tour throughout Europe -
including support shows for Lee Fields (in Amsterdam's Paradiso and
London's Islington Assembly Hall) and a radio live performance at the
BBC6 Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show.
Caroline Lacaze now steps further into the spotlight with her first
full album "En Route" - in a style that is all her own. The mixture on
"En Route" is eclectic: nonchalant 60s beat, mysterious psych-pop,
raucous funk and longing French chanson, all held together by the
energetic raw soul sound and the skillful 'mise-en-scene' by Mocambo
Productions, who provide a musical background with expertise - as they
have proven before on their collaborations with the Mighty Mocambos,
Gizelle Smith, Kenny Dope, Afrika Bambaataa, The Bacao Rhythm &
Steel Band and others.
