Frencha, the pioneering French artist and songwriter in country music, releases her new single, “Country girl in Paris.”
Nashville-based artist Frencha bridges the best of American country music and French charm with her latest single, Country Girl in Paris. Though she has worked with renowned Nashville producers like Dean Miller, this song is a unique collaboration between American and French musicians, recorded partly in the U.S. and partly in France. A soft, heartfelt ballad, it takes listeners on a dreamy walk through the streets of Paris, where love lingers in every corner. Released on Valentine’s Day, it’s a tribute to love in all its forms—a perfect soundtrack for dreamers and lovers alike.
Amidst the sprawling French countryside and the electric pulse of Paris, Charlotte Amar, known to her fans as “Frencha,” has woven her love for American country music into a unique European tapestry. After years
of sidelining her dreams, one of Frencha’s three children, Ava, asked, “Why aren’t you recording music, Mom?” “What kind of mother tells her kids to follow their dreams without showing them how it’s done,” Frencha says.
Inspired by her daughter’s profound insight, Frencha gathered the courage to bring her songs to the studio, leading to the quiet release of her debut album, Cactus Heart, in 2022. Within a week of it being out, producer Dean Miller, known for his work with Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson, invited Frencha to the studio in Nashville, TN.
That call from Miller sparked the creation of the forthcoming project’s lead single and title track, “Grab That Chance,” which embraces a more optimistic perspective on life. The lyrical themes revolve around the
idea that age is just a number and it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. Earning a spot on Holler’s “The Best Uplifting Country Songs” playlist, Frencha shares, “It felt like the right time to believe in myself and seize my opportunities.”
Twangy guitars and narrative-rich lyrics have been the soundtrack of her life since Frencha was nine, when a stay with an American family in Virginia first introduced her to the world of country music. Ever since, Frencha has drawn inspiration from this genre, swapping tiaras for cowgirl hats and crafting melodies that tell stories in both English and French.
