Isabelle Antena is a French pop and jazz singer who began her career in the trio Antena. She has toured with Paul Haig, Tuxedomoon, and Cabaret Voltaire before recording her first solo album in London. Isabelle has become particularly popular in Japan and has recorded numerous albums under different names such as Antena, Powaga Sisters, and Pause Cafe. She has also collaborated with artists like Buscemi and Thievery Corporation.

In 2003, Isabelle featured on Buscemi's album Camino Real and released a best of compilation called L'alphabet Du Plaisir. Her song "Nothing to Lose" appeared on Thievery Corporation's album Versions in 2006. In 2007, she released French Riviera with producers from the Japanese nu-jazz scene including Kyoto Jazz Massive, Jazztronik, Yukihiro Fukutomi, and Tatsuo Sunaga.

Throughout her career, Isabelle Antena has showcased her talent as a versatile artist with a unique blend of pop and jazz influences. Her music continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

'En Cavale' is the debut solo album by Isabelle Antena, originally issued by Les Disques du Crepuscule in April 1986. Following the demise of chic French trio Antena, En Cavale ('on the run') marked Isabelle's transition from minimalist electro-samba to smooth pop sophistication. Largely produced by Martin Hayles (Rip It Up era Orange Juice) the album's synth and dance-pop stylings embrace disco (Be Pop, Don't Think About It), Latin jazz (Play Back) and cool ballads (Seaside Weekend, Ten Minutes). Little wonder, for at the time Antena cited Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto and Sister Sledge as prime influences. This new digital re-master features seven bonus tracks, including b-sides and the 12" mixes of singles Be Pop and Life Is Too Short. The artwork is by Benoit Hennebert.
