Fleur means flower in French. Balancing between rock, new age, and neo-classical music, this Odessa-based Russian-singing group sounds like a delicate flower itself. Rich female voices combined with classical strings and flutes as well as computers and hard rock guitars provide both tenderness and tension, present and eternal. Though the closest to Fleur's style is Enya, this Ukrainian band has its own distinguished sound with some gothic sense influenced also by Soviet movies soundtracks, Russian and Ukrainian folklore, and ethnic fusion (particularly Enigma).
Essentially Fleur is Olga Pulatova (piano, lead vocals) and Elena Voinarovskaya (guitar, lead vocals), who began their first joint rehearsals in February 2000.
