‘Belle de Jour’ are a Manchester based band fronted by singer/songwriter Charlotte Day. The band was originally formed in 2002 when Charlotte, known mostly for her work in dance music, held the desire to write more alternative songs for a broader audience. This was fulfilled when she met co-writer Carrie Hamer.
As songwriters, they embraced a diverse range of musical influences, and had written an album's worth of songs within the first year of their collaboration.
However, as time moved on, so did the music and spring 2006 spawned the early stages of new songs which became more guitar based than their earlier electro biased material.
Today, the 'Belle de Jour' sound is best described as a refreshing blend of alternative and acoustic pop combining infectious melodies with honest lyrics.
Charlotte says - "Belle de Jour is a collective made up of some of the best musicians and producers in the north west of England, which is instrumental in achieving exactly the sound we want.
As individual musicians, our lives revolve around so many projects and getting everyone together, can be a challenge. We don't get the opportunity to perform as a band as often as we'd like to, so when we do make a rare live appearance, make sure you catch us! We can honestly say, that this project has never been about big bucks, but purely about creating good songs that mean something to us, and for people to enjoy. Any support along the way is always hugely appreciated."
The bands current EP 'Miracle' is available from iTunes, Amazon, Napster and other download sites. Plus, a forthcoming album is scheduled for later in the year. We'll keep you posted....... In the meantime, check out the teaser tracks above.
