Ghostly Kisses
Ghostly Kisses is the musical project of French-Canadian singer-songwriter Margaux Sauvé. She is based in Quebec. She is signed to the British record label Akira Records. The name 'Ghostly Kisses’ was inspired by the William Faulkner poem "Une ballade des dames perdues," which includes the verse "And brush my lips with little ghostly kisses."
