On this week’s Worldwide Breakfast, Valentine Comar takes listeners on a deeply personal journey through the music that shaped her. After introducing her grandfather in a previous show, it’s now time for her to share a bit of her own story- through the tracks she grew up with.
With too many songs to fit into a three-hour show, Valentine has curated a selection of tunes that may be unfamiliar to those outside of France—specifically, those who didn’t grow up in the ‘90s listening to Radio Nova. Revisiting these tracks has been a nostalgic experience, reminding her of music’s incredible power to transport us back to forgotten moments.
Radio Nova played a significant role in Valentine’s early years, thanks to her mother’s influence—whether it was listening in the car on the way to school or collecting the station’s iconic Nova Tunes compilation CDs. Those early 2000s mornings shaped her musical taste in ways that still resonate today. Expect to hear some Nova classics from back in the day, a touch of French rap, and a few chansons woven into the mix.
