Escapist romance with roses instead of food

February 20, 2015 by Malin 1 Comment

Layla “Belle Woods” Dubois has just won a Grammy for her Indie rock album, but is fleeing to the French countryside in a desperate hope that she will find some inspiration, or there won’t be a second album any time soon. She’s “accidentally” drowned her phone in a fountain and is hoping to stay away from press attention and the demands of her producers for long enough that she can write some new songs and rediscover her love of playing.

Having been forced back from her self-imposed exile, teaching on a small Pacific island, because her […]
