History


The band's lead singer, Barbara Alcindor, was born in Paris, and has worked as a fashion model in London. She met the "Dreyer Brothers" production team and signed a contract with the BMG, a German record label, before scoring the chart with the hit "My Heart Goes Boom (La Di Da Da)" in early 2000. The single was a major hit in Europe, peaking within top 5 in many countries. It was followed by "Do What You Like", which also was a successful hit, and a debut album, Desire.

2001 saw the release of a new track: "Sexy", which also became a considerable hit. The following year the band released "I Like That", followed by another big hit: "Comme ci comme ça", released in 2003. In 2006, French Affair released their second, all-French album, Rendezvous, promoted by a single "Symphonie d'amour". The album featured vocals by Aimee, the band's new vocalist. 2008 saw the release of Belle Epoque, their last album to date.

In 2009 the group announced its dissolution.
