Flёur (original title is with the Russian "ё") was formed in February, 2000 when Olga Pulatova (a piano, a vocal, the author of songs) and Elena Vojnarovskaja (the guitar, a vocal, the author of songs) started rehearsing together. The group officially considers its birthday on March 8, 2000 when Julia Zemljanaja (flute) joined them.

The name "Flëur" holds different meanings for different people - some see it as a flower in French translation, others relate it to Baudelaire's "Fleurs du mal" (Flowers of evil), and some simply associate it with music. In Russian, the word "Flëur" carries the remarkable significance of "a cover of mystery".

6131 Records reissues the incredible debut from Dutch band Fleur. Formed when Arjan Spies and Dave Von Raven (both members of Les Robots) began writing music that strayed from their current project's sound, they soon recruited singer Floor Elman aka "Fleur" (member of The Colour Collection) to add her beautiful voice. The resulting album is a mesmerizing, nostalgic romp through French yé-yé and sixties European pop that garnered the band widespread acclaim almost instantly. Fans of Françoise Hardy, France Gall, Jackie DeShannon, Sylvie Vartan, and April March will love this too!

Originally released in June 2020 via Spanish label Bickerton, 6131 Records now makes the album readily available outside Europe for the first time, featuring updated artwork and insert, plus with a newly added b-side, previously only available on a 7" single.
