A white woman stands on a grey spotted rock with other bis rocks around her. It is Julie Bessard, alias HSRS. She is wearing a red, tight-fitting dress that reaches just above the knee, with long sleeves. Her legs and feet are bare. She has red, curly, pinned-up hair. She makes a slight lunge forward with her left foot, seemingly balancing herself with her left arm, which she delicately holds forward. The scene takes place at night, on the horizon the sky is dark red, all around is black, only the protagonist is illuminated by the flash of the camera.

HSRS

French singer, author, producer and musician Julie Bessard has named her musical project HSRS, which stands for High Self Reset System. This suits the music, which sounds like a rebirth that you allow yourself later in life. Likewise, her lyrics mainly revolve around the idea of returning to a wild and instinctive nature. Influenced by the likes of Björk, King Krule, Radiohead, Solange, Kelela and Aphex Twin, she mixes elements of English pop, jazz-punk and electronic music, using her voice like an instrument. While her songs have a pop structure, they don’t offer conventional melodies. Just the right music to welcome the unpredictable.
