Sandrine François - After The Rain

Sandrine François was born in Paris in December 1980. She is best known as the French representative at the Eurovision Song Contest in Estonia in 2002. Her track "Il Faut Du Temps" ("It Tskes Time") was a typical French chanson, not disimilar to Céline Dion. With one of the best performances of the night, Sandrine did fantastically well to come 5th behind Estonia (Sahlene), the United Kingdom (Jessica Garlick), Malta (Ira Losco)and the winners Latvia (Marie N) - to make an all female top 5! Hurrah!

Sandrine also released her album "Et Si Le Monde" to acclaim, and has worked amongst others with producer Erick Benzi who has worked with the likes of Céline Dion and Indonesian star Anggun.

"After The Rain" is the English version of her Eurovision entry, and as far as English language versions go in Eurovision, it's definitely one of the better ones. Since then, I'm not sure what Sandrine has been upto, but hopefully we will hear more from her soon...
