This week, join us for a captivating conversation with French vocalist Nathalie Lermitte as she takes us deep into the timeless world of Édith Piaf, sharing her favourite Piaf songs and the powerful stories behind them.

In this episode, Nathalie reflects on her journey with the legendary music of Piaf—how she first came to portray the Little Sparrow, and the emotional intensity required to channel such a raw, iconic voice on stage. With honesty and heart, she speaks about the responsibility and privilege of stepping into Piaf’s shoes, not as an imitation, but as a living tribute.

From joining her first band at just 8 years old, to becoming one of France’s most beloved interpreters of Piaf’s repertoire, Nathalie’s story is as rich and emotive as the songs she sings. Expect stirring renditions, personal memories, and rare insight into what it takes to breathe new life into the voice of a legend.

Tune in for music, memories, and a celebration of enduring French artistry.
