April March (real name Elinore Blake) is an indie pop singer from California. She was born on April 20, 1965 and sings in English and French. Her best known composition is a English language remake of Serge Gainsbourg’s “Laisse tomber les filles” released in 1998 as “Chick Habit”. The song appears during the opening credits of the 1999 film “But I’m A Cheerleader” and the end credits of Quentin Tarantino’s 2007 film “Death Proof”, the latter alongside her cover of the original song.
She has had one of the more interesting dual careers, as a cartoon animator (including a stint as a principal animator for the Ren & Stimpy show) and as an indie pop singer/songwriter, more popular in France than in Brooklyn, where she was raised, or in her current home of California.
As a child, Elinore became fascinated with France, and jumped at the opportunity to participate in an exchange program in France in junior high. Today, her albums tend to contain songs in both English and French, which draw heavily on themes and styles from French 1960s pop music.
Beginning in the early 1980s, she worked as an animator for Archie Comics and Pee Wee’s Playhouse; in 1986 we see her working on the Madonna feature Who’s That Girl, animating the star in the title sequence and the contemporaneous music video. Her first band, The Pussywillows, was formed in 1987, although their existence was interrupted for a year while April March attended the one-year Disney Character Animation program in California.

I really enjoy Chick Habit and Paris in April, as they're both incredibly unique and catchy, though they contain many of the same songs. But Triggers isn't doing anything for me, as it's mostly just generic pop music, and April March's lovely voice doesn't even get much attention in the sound mixing. Is Chrominance Decoder worth looking into?
