Jeanne-Marie Sens is a French singer, songwriter, writer, and publisher, born on December 8, 1937, in Paris. She began her musical career in the early 1970s, drawing inspiration from a melancholic, poetic, and protesting perspective on an increasingly dehumanized world. She gained recognition in 1973 and 1974 with her protest songs "En Plein Coeur," with music by Jean-Pierre Pouret, and "L’Enfant du 92e," composed with Lowery and music by Pierre Rapsat. Sens often seemed to thrive in an imaginary and fantastical realm, a theme reflected in the numerous records she created for children. One of her most popular successes came from her children's album "Chansons Pour De Vrai, volume 2" in 1977, featuring the song "Tant et tant de temps," with music composed by an unnamed collaborator. Following this success, she worked almost exclusively with this composer. However, despite their fruitful partnership, her popularity waned, leading her to exit the music industry in the early to mid-1980s. In the early 1990s, she co-founded the editions Sens & Tonka with Hubert Tonka, a writer and architect designer associated with Jean Nouvel. Additionally, Jeanne-Marie Sens has authored several works, including novels, short stories, poems, and photography.
