Claudie Fritsch-Mentrop (born 25 December 1952), known by her stage name Desireless (French pronunciation: [deziʁlɛs]), is a French singer. [1] Between 1986 and 1988, her hit single " Voyage, voyage" made it to number one on many European and Asian single charts. The music video was directed by Bettina Rheims and showed the artist in a cold, androgynous style similar to a wave of other contemporary female singers such as Annie Lennox and Grace Jones. [2]
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. [3]
