Istanbul Rose

Here’s some Sunday morning music for the 1960s poolside with Pan-Am jets flying overhead in a cloudless sky. The internet says Jeanette is a half-Belgian, half-Spanish, English-born, American-raised singer born in 1951 who lives in Spain — so retro-global visions make sense. Drenched in reverb, Jeanette’s voice moves across the ballroom like a druggy Connie Francis with gliding strings and folk guitar. This is the sound of tall grass, sprinklers, and sepia-tinged photographs with solar flares. Beautiful dream pop.
