Each release of a new album of Francis Cabrel is an event. The author of the indispensable "Little Mary" returns to the front of the stage, 4 years after "Beautiful damage," with an album crafted in every detail. Melodic or rhythmic structure, between grounds of knowledge, voice trembling slightly south, guitar chords, beginning of some agreements, to win quickly in intensity ... So he goes from the first song " Dress and Scale ". Staccato syllables to say the meeting opening, tinted nostalgia. "At the rate the time passes Nothing erases the essential ..." pink side, therefore. But by the second song we enter fully into a hard look at human depravity: "That a man sleeping on the asphalt that does not seem to worry the cardinals suit ..."
But sometimes it is futile to try to describe an album. Because Cabrel, although it speaks to many of us, he speaks to each of us in particular. To each to make it his personal reading, therefore.
