No waste, this album makes 16 songs of the highest caliber, but with various, however a sense of unity: sobriety, fanciful or moving cared texts, ambience and vintage instruments, sometimes with Brazilian colors 60s.
And great elegance that reminds of dandy Jacques Dutronc in its infancy. If only the entire French song had that level of quality!
I can not resist the pleasure to inflict the list of my favorite songs (and they are many, sorry):
- The English Garden (4) because it is a bit of a summary of the album climate
- The fur coat (5): a charming fantasy bubble
- The most beautiful day of my life (8)
- Do you speak English Mr Katerine? (9): very nice duo, tasty lyrics, music on top, beautiful detachment of the character of Philippe Katerine
- Department stores (11)
- The song of the blessed days (12): a model in the bossa nova genre, full demotion
- The distant countries (14): dune great poetry words
- Holidays in the hospital (15): unexpected and touching
Treat yourself to this album, give it to those who are dear to you, you will not regret it.
