Laure Pester, known professionally as simply Lorie, is a French pop singer, often referred to as the "Britney Spears of France" (although her image is somewhat more wholesome and family-friendly). In the space of three years she released three albums, working with producer, songwriter and composer Johnny Williams (grandson of 'musette' accordion star André Verchuren) and her father manager André Pester (a former studio manager at French radio station RTL).
Characteristics
Her image portrays her as a clean-cut and child-friendly teen icon, with little of the overt sexuality displayed by her contemporaries in the French teen-pop market, e.g. Alizee - her relationship with Filipino pop-star Billy Crawford was widely publicized but remained scandal-free. As a result, she has a particularly strong following among schoolchildren.
Musically, she remains a straight pop act, occasionally moving towards pop-rock like many other French female starlets (e.g. Jenifer Bartoli) - the single Week End is an example of this. Her act is characterized by energetic dance routines, with simple music videos that showcase her talents.
