"True" to what it is, Calogero book an album of varieties of very good level. The melodies are catchy and often energetic, slightly tinged rock but not much. The themes, sometimes the times are "concerned" and dismayed with a special mention for "A Day in the wrong place", unfortunately a bit too stretched on the album version (the choirs "never again" is making a bit too heavy for my taste). Specifically, it is a certain "heaviness" that threatens and sometimes that makes me put a little flat to the whole. Nevertheless, the texts, especially those of Marie Bastide are all pretty well and felt perfectly fit the music. Two songs written with other authors are also very successful ("Faithful" is the custom to effectively open the album and very touching "The Fireworks" ends very gently opus). Other titles seem more withdrawn, including working with Dominique A ("I miss it already"), "Driving in England" or "I have a right as" that seem less removed, perhaps because they want too stick to a certain reality. Rather, it is mostly written two songs with Alex Beaupain which take off and take everything literally, "Before you" perfect statement and "Crystal", gem or Calogero reached in interpreting a grace worthy of a Polnareff the big time: two love songs cleared of air time concerns, small common sense of the term, without the heaviness that link here or elsewhere on other tracks in the album. In the end these "fireworks" were well carried me high, even if gravity sometimes do fall a little too fast then we would remain suspended Calogéro where music is the most air.
