Eve | Comment

“I have been given the opportunity to perform the main theme song for Josee, the Tiger and the Fish. The first time the director showed me the storyboards for the film, it felt as if the characters were and still are really alive. I remember how moved I was by the beauty and level of detail in them, like the animation was jumping out at me. They received the song I wrote warmly. I wrote it while trying to find a commonality between Josee, who is shy and clumsy, and I questioned what exactly something that hasn’t worn away with time would look like. I’m overjoyed to have been put in charge of a small part of this film.”
