Singer-songwriter and poet Arlo Parks on her debut album 'Collapsed in Sunbeams'
At only 20 years old, London-based singer-songwriter and poet Arlo Parks has just released one of 2021's most anticipated albums, "Collapsed in Sunbeams". A record full of soothing vocals, warm guitar chords and neo-soul, it tackles sensitive topics like mental health and love. She counts among her fans former US first lady Michelle Obama and she is regularly name-checked by international pop sensation Billie Eilish. FRANCE 24's Florence Villeminot caught up with her to find out more about her music and her links to Paris.
