Émilie Simon is the debut album of Émilie Simon. The album was a commercial and critical success, winning a Victoire de la musique in 2004 for Best Electronic Album.[1] Critics called her "France's answer to Iceland's alternative pop princess Björk."[2] Simon wrote, composed and produced the bulk of the album by herself.[2] The album was re-issued in December 2003, months after its release.[2]

Release

In October 2002, Simon released promotion single "Désert". The song was a huge success both critically and commercially in her homeland. In the United States, a single for the English version was released in late 2006. The music video for the song was directed by Philippe André[3] and produced by Wanda.[4]
