Release Notes:
Named for her impressive physical stature, La Grande
Sophie (born July 18, 1969 in Thionville, France) was a
singer, songwriter, and performer who put her first band
together in her early teens. Sophie moved to Marseilles,
initially for further schooling, but eventually wound up
in the music world again, before moving again to Paris in
1995, to help further her career. In 1996, Sophie caught
the eye and ear of Jean-Lous Foulquier, a promoter and
producer, who included her work on a compilation record,
Le Son de Paris. In 1997, Sophie recorded and released her
debut album, La Grande Sophie S'Agrandit (La Grande Sophie
Grows Up, in English) on an independent label. 2000 found
Sophie hitting the big time, as she signed with major
label heavyweight, Sony, and began recording on her next
album. That album, Le Porte-Bonheur, was released the
following year to moderate success. In between album
releases, Sophie kept up a steady rate of touring and
performances, consistently finding herself invited to the
many festivals on the summer touring circuit. In October
of 2003, La Grande Sophie released album number three, Et
Si C'Θtait Moi, and devoted much of the next couple of
years to touring. In 2005 she released her next album, the
seventies folk-rock influenced La Suite. A deluxe edition
including bonus tracks and a DVD of said album was
released in 2006.
