I listen to some "French song" lately. Not that I dislike, there was a time, or Black Desire, Fersen, Miossec, Arno and others Daniel Helin heartbeat of my days. But then, Bertrand Cantat just coming out of prison so he will have to wait until a new Black Desire, Fersen now revels in silly songs about her dog ("Zaza"), Miossec become sober simply cram his texts and photographs of common places ( "melancholy"), I did not dare listen to the new album of Arno has never confirmed the return to form what was "Charles Ernest" and Daniel Helin bothers me a little. Do not pour out the "new French song" which none are able to hold my attention long ago ... and this is not the new kids like Adrienne Pauly with their style "bad girl" well calculated which I will dive again. But I believe that, as in all genres, just search a bit further than what Michel Drucker and Pascal Negro regurgitate the French average prime time to find wonders. I await your suggestions, I have not the courage of clearing himself.
Still, in this fog of mediocrity, a man continues to push his way out of the spotlight away from the hype of Paris, suddenly album oscillating between good and superb live performances and an intensity rarely equaled . Dominique A lot these days his first live album, "Our driving force, recorded over four days French's tour for the "Horizon". With 15 tracks, the album traces the entire career of Dominique A, not focusing on any particular period, such an assessment stage of his work. Securities that do not believe me on the Horizon as "The Changing" are now among the most beautiful songs on the album. "Everything will be as before" and "Bowling" seem even more dark and disturbing. Even the older titles like "The courage of birds" (15 years ago) have not aged a bit and come here in electrified versions and rhythmic. You can always lament the absence of some great songs from A to Dominica selection (no "Men between them", "In Secret", "How do some living," I could go on) but the choice of songs remains consistent, balanced, leaving room for the strongest texts, the atmosphere heavy. Similarly, those who prefer lighter songs in his repertoire ("While the children play," "The Wind", "Twenty Two Bar", "In a truck", etc..) Will be disappointed. A second CD more cheerful because he is capable, would not have been able to refuse to explore the full range of live M. A. But I nitpick.
Until the new album from Daniel Darc ...
