Autour de Lucie is a French pop rock band, founded by vocalist Valérie Leulliot [fr], guitarist Olivier Durand and bassist Fabrice Dumont.
Their debut album L'Échappée belle was released in 1993 but was later re-released by Nettwerk and Le Village Vert in 1996 under the title Autour De Lucie with the bonus English-language track "Simon".
It was led off by the buoyant, breezy "L'accord parfait" and included a cover version of the English-language ballad "Island", originally composed for the soundtrack of the British film "The Wicker Man".
It was produced by Giles Martin and Autour de Lucie, and included a few experimental instrumental tracks as well as the catchy, synth-driven "Chanson sans issue (ne vois-tu pas)".
The album ranged from the introspective "Avril en octobre" and piano ballad "Mon toujours partant" to the uptempo "Nos vies limitrophes" and included one English-language song ("Guiding hands").
