But where does she come from ? Delphine Volange came to this world in a pale silk negligee, amongst the English roses of a Sarthe garden. As a child she absorbs herself with delight in reading "Dangerous Liaisons" as well as "The Model Little Girls" to her doll, adding a little spice to the tale. Her parents, under the spell, decide to give her a religious education with the Saint Mary of the Invalids Sisters, in the ultimate chic Paris 7th district. After hesitating to enter a convent, she fascinates her bel canto teachers and starts as a delicious and decadent cocotte in the most fashionable surroundings where you can still have a private tea-time concert. Passing through the Music School strengthens her call: she will be a singer and an author, on the borders of Classical Music and Pop-Rock.
Her Paris Smart Set aficionados are delightfully panic-stricken: fragile and good fun, a bit of a comedian, she offers an outstanding sensuality and a tender extravaganza only she knows the secret of. She seems to wake up the tender ghost of an eternal past, Hollywood Diva of years gone by and years to come, she plays on stage -- not without irony -- what she is in life dressed in all her subtly anachronistic finery.
This being said Delphine's lyrics are strangely modern. The poetical spirit of the 19th century may be there -- refined and clear -- but at the end of the day they "sound classic" in the best sense of the term, which is -- with her -- tainted with a timeless grace. A testimony of a vitriolic pen, caressing and caustic.
Her private life is an utter mystery. Her father told me she carries smelling salts in her cuffs, she does not tell her age since she was twelve, she talks to lost souls, only drinks sea-weed juices and dances on Puccini's music. She moves every night from one palace-hotel to the other, demanding silk sheets. "Empreinte" de Courrèges is her only perfume nowhere to be found now. Others will tell you that the love of her life drowned in the Como Lake and that she sings to her death to raise him from the dead. Decidedly Mademoiselle Volange unclassifiable voice and rare bird manners are a balm for sensitive souls in these distraught times.
Gilles Schlesser

Delphine Volange au nom libertin propose un voyage dans un univers un brin suranné, du côté de Verlaine, Barbey d'Aurevilly ou Poe. Et de Delphine Volange le ciel était toujours sans nouvelles est le titre de ce manifeste gracieux et maîtrisé.
François-Xavier Gomez - Libération

Si vous aimez Bertrand Belin, tendez l'oreille : il a composé la plupart des mélodies du premier album de Delphine Volange... Ce qui saute aux oreilles, presque autant que lorsque Dominique A signait les chansons de Françoiz Breut. Même à l'aveugle, on reconnaîtrait entre mille ses enchaînements mélodiques, ses mélodies bouclées, ses guitares raffinées, sans parler des choeurs et du duo qui scellent encore un peu plus sa présence. Côté textes, en revanche, la jeune femme s'émancipe : elle s'éloigne de l'onirisme vaporeux de son complice pour une narration à la fois simple et précieuse. On ne s'en plaindra pas. Parfois, elle évoque celle d'Isabelle Adjani dans son Pull marine (notamment sur le très gainsbourgien et très séduisant Hôtel Chopin, composé par Jean-Claude Vannier)
