Love me if You Dare

Une vie entière pour se dire "je t'aime". 80 ans pour démarrer une histoire d'amour. Et tout ça à cause d'un jeu. Ou peut-être grâce à un jeu. Sophie et Julien ont défini les règles du jeu. Ils en sont, pour le restant de leurs vies, les arbitres et souvent les victimes. "Cap ou pas cap ?" "Cap ! Bien sûr ! " Ils sont cap de tout : du meilleur comme du pire. Bafouer tous les tabous, défier tous les interdits, braver toutes les autorités, rire, se faire mal. Cap de tout !? sauf, peut-être de s'avouer qu'ils s'aiment.

The year 1979 saw the death of one of the leading players in the ‘Baroque’ revolution, undoubtedly the most famous countertenor of the twentieth century. Alfred Deller had even achieved the supreme tour de force of convincing us that, three centuries earlier, Purcell had composed his songs for him! With him the public of the 1960s and 1970s discovered not only an absolutely inimitable timbre, but also the delights of a repertory that had been slumbering in libraries until then. Forty years after his death, thanks to the meticulous process of remastering harmonia mundi has carried out on the original tapes, Alfred Deller’s art seems more alive than ever!

That The XX would not completely knock you out of your shoes and come around the corner with a weird trap album, is already clear long before and at the latest thanks to the released singles "On Hold" and "Say Something Loving". Because, of course, the third album "I See You" remains with the band's identity-giving elements: sugar-sweet bass, less ambitious guitars, neck-hair singing and an aesthetic covering of raised eyebrows and black rolling collars.
