crêpe girl shares her new single “Keep it Simple!,” the track is off French-American artist’s Eliza Grégoire’s new EP, Stargazing. The 5-song EP is set for release on March 22 via Norwegian label 777 Music, and crêpe girl will headline a record release show in Los Angeles at Gold Diggers on March 24th.

““Keep it Simple!” is about wanting to be with someone so much even if they don’t want anything real with you, and clinging on to them while thinking you have tough enough skin to endure that,” notes Grégoire. “It hurt writing and definitely brought up a lot of things emotionally for me… It’s one of my most honest songs.”

crêpe girl previously released the EP’s lead single and video for “DRUG,” a collaboration with producer bob junior (boy pablo, Cuco, Alfie Templeman).

The name crêpe girl originates from the bedroom pop Grégoire began to craft and the crepe stand she ran while she was in college in Denver. “I was making crêpes backstage for Clairo’s band and crew before her show, and Mac [DeMarco] happened to show up at my stand,” Grégoire’s recalls. After that, she ended up joining DeMarco at Red Rocks and making crepes at his show.

Born to French parents living in an Indiana household where only that language was spoken, Grégoire spent much of her youth racing bikes, rock climbing — activities that distracted her from self-reflection and self-expression. Grégoire went to college in Colorado on a bike racing scholarship. It was an apt ambition, given that she grew up among family members who raced cars. But more than anything else, “I wanted to get out of Indiana,” she admits. Grégoire quickly lost interest in bike racing once she arrived at college. It was then that she realized her true passion.

“I had always had the music in me, but I’d never been able to fully express that because I was in such a different mindset,” she reminisces. “I was more like, ‘I need to win and I need to be better. My body needs to be better.’ Then, I was able to first create the crêpe stand, which was actually very much an art and creative project.” With her ability for self-expression finally unleashed, and her crêpe stand flourishing, the multi-tasking master beelined for an even more artistic pursuit: music.
