Stacey Kent

Stacey Kent returns to the Salle Pleyel in Paris on 8 December 2026 to present A Time For Love, her new album chapter. An American singer who is both a Francophile and a francophone, she has for years pursued a career at the crossroads of jazz, French chanson and Brazilian rhythms. A Grammy nominee, with more than two million albums sold and numerous chart-topping releases, she made a strong impression on French audiences with a gold record for Breakfast on the Morning Tram (2007), followed by Raconte-Moi, which in 2010 became the second best-selling French-language album worldwide.

Across roughly fifteen albums and performances on stages in more than 55 countries, her delivery has become more refined, marked by a taste for nuance and phrasing. Her repertoire blends the Great American Songbook, French chanson and Brazilian standards, as well as bespoke pieces written with composer Jim Tomlinson and lyricists such as Kazuo Ishiguro. With A Time For Love, released in spring 2026 on Naïve, Stacey Kent continues this exploration of voice, text and the art of interpretation. Her return to Paris places her tone, her stories and her way of creating an intimate rapport with the audience at the center.
