Celebrating and reflecting on Britain and France’s cultural ties, ‘Le Vaudreuil’ is the latest single released by local Cambridgeshire singer-songwriter Barney. This is the fully-fledged version of a melody composed initially to mark the 20th anniversary of a local, Anglo-French Twin Town collaboration. On the musical side of things, Barney’s ‘other half’ is Barrie, who would usually take on the role of the lead vocalist as well as being responsible for instrumentation, production and recording. However, on this occasion Barney, having in his words ‘marginally the better French accent’ took the microphone himself.

Featuring elegant strings, soft beats and warm guitars, ‘Le Vaudreuil’ flows upon a supple bed of earthy light instrumentation while Barney’s smooth vocals caress the dreamy melody. The folk- esque melody teamed with reverb laced vocals gives the track an otherworldly ambience. Teaming swoon-worthy tones with heartfelt melodies, ‘Le Vaudreuil’ is a beautiful and compelling tune from Barney.
