Desireless
Claudie Fritsch-Mentrop (born 25 December 1952), known by her stage name Desireless (French pronunciation: [deziʁlɛs]), is a French singer. She gained international recognition between 1986 and 1988 with her hit single, "Voyage, voyage", which topped music charts in multiple countries. The music video, directed by Bettina Rheims, features Desireless in a cold, androgynous style, reminiscent of other contemporary female artists such as Annie Lennox and Grace Jones. According to her official website, Desireless still releases new albums and performs live, and she released a new album with Operation of the Sun (Antoine Aureche) accompanied by a worldwide tour from 2012 onward.
