Songs by French-American artist Eliza Grégoire, a.k.a. crêpe girl, are sating the appetites of music fans hungering for catchy, crisp and cheerful pop tunes. Grégoire bucks clichés, knowing even at age 22 that such manufactured music usually comes with a built-in, short-term expiration date. Currently based in Los Angeles after a four-year stint in Colorado, crêpe girl is now quickly developing an avid fanbase, and she already counts Mac DeMarco and Del Water Gap among her supporters.
After launching an actual crêpe stand that continues to flourish, the rock-climbing enthusiast and former bike-racer pursuit realized in college that music is the truest of her many passions. Grégoire started selling her homemade thin pancakes outside concerts, killing two birds with one … crêpe.
“A chef and a bartender … [told] me that food and music are actually extremely similar,” she says. “That’s why I think I feel so at home with both of them in a similar way. And they bring comfort and happiness to people.”
While Grégoire’s debut album doesn’t have a release date yet, expect it revolve at least partially around her anxiety living in L.A. as a still-recent transplant. Don’t anticipate her rushing to release a proper debut; crêpe girl is so wedded to the artistic value of her music, instead of its financial potential, that she has already turned down multiple offers with various music industry executives.
Irrefutably, Grégoire doesn’t sound like a crêpe-maker-turned-musician who’s in it just for the dough.
Likewise, crêpe girl isn’t prioritizing trendy, corporate-inspired frivolities such as working on her “brand” or gaining millions of followers through social media alone. Grégoire would rather continue honing her craft instead of spending untold hours on marketing and promotional efforts — not to mention they would potentially clash wish the intimate approach she takes with her art.
crêpe girl cracking the music industry sounds like something out of American Idol, given her illustrious background. But banal her music is not. Grégoire maintains a low volume with her vocals throughout her songs. Her recipe is so undeniably strong that she need not resort to over-emoting, spectacle, gimmicks or plain old bluster to win over new fans. crêpe girl’s glimmering music and soul-baring lyrics are so moving and powerful that she doesn’t need to lean on any crutches. She’s the real deal.
Grégoire is in the habit of dropping new songs one by one on TikTok. But on the horizon is a new EP she will release on Boy Pablo’s record label, 777 Music, and a bright bouquet of a future as a musician, songwriter and, yes, crafter of crêpes.
