Brigitte is a French indie folk musical duo formed in 2008 by Sylvie Hoarau and Aurélie Saada . Their 2011 debut full-length album Et vous, tu m'aimes ?, went platinum in France. It is sold through both French and the U.S. iTunes Store.
On February 8, 2021, Saada said in an Instagram post that the duo had separated.
Naming Brigitte is a take on famous Brigittes of yore, such as Brigitte Bardot; in an interview, one of them said: (Brigitte is retro, our style it's the 50s, it's French, it's Brigitte Bardot, it's Brigitte Lahaie, the aunt that cooks, the cousin's wife. Brigitte is the woman in plural)
In popular culture English version of "Oh la la" was used for a Lancôme advertisement. "La Poudrière" was used as soundtrack for a short directed by Aurélie Saada for Vogue Eyewear.Archived at Ghostarchive and the Wayback Machine:
