Characteristics of Jorane's music are experimental singing, individual and accomplished handling of the cello as well as syntheses of different styles - such as folk , jazz , rock or classical . Her texts are partly French or English , but sometimes also sequences of sounds that assign the status of a musical instrument to the human voice . She is characterized by the ability to accompany her cello playing with her own singing .
In 2004 she presented a cover version of the disco hit I Feel Love on the album The You and The Now , which was written by Giorgio Moroder and sung by Donna Summer . In the same year she presented a witch cello music for Halloween .
Jorane wrote the music for the dramatic love film A Sunday in Kigali ( Un dimanche à Kigali ) (2006) and won the Prix Jutra in the category Best Film Music. She worked with Cristobal Tapia de Veer .
