Le premier album LP, sorti en juin 2004 alors qu'une immense tournée battait son plein ! Amélie venait de renverser les publics du Printemps de Bourges en avril et du Festival Alors Chante à Montauban en mai. On y retrouve des titres devenus des emblèmes de la dame aux crayons : "Elizabeth", "Mon Docteur", "Ta P'tite Flamme", "La Valse du Danseur de Lune" et tous ceux qui composaient le spectacle jusqu'en 2006.

Amelie's first full-length album released in 2004 as she was on the roads for an endless tour that brought her all over France, Swizerland, Belgium, Canada and Finland. The title of the album was a way of anticipating the journalists' favourite question : "Amélie, ok. But why "Pencils" (les crayons) ? We chose to record new versions of songs already present on the first 6-track CD as they were definitely part of the Amelie story and couldn't be absent, especially for new fans. The album was a massive indie hit in France and Amelie became a particular figure of the french chanson indie scene as she was invited to huge festivals and won an incredible number of rewards all over Europe for her show.
