Orelsan Tellement D'amis

Joe was an easy listening pop singer who died in the early eighties while still in his prime. This collection contains the best of his music from 1965 to 1979. Some of the songs are of French origin and it would appear from the credits that he co-wrote some of them. He sings one of the tracks here (The guitar don't lie) in English, although the other 45 tracks are all in French. Apart from the French songs, there are a number of other songs that he sings with French lyrics. It is clear from the titles that at least some of them have completely new lyrics rather than being translated from the original. I conclude this review with a list of some of the songs that might be familiar to you, to give you an idea of his range of material. Despite his easy listening style, the sources of the songs are diverse, including country and folk as well as mainstream pop songs.

La vraie première anthologie de l’immense carrière de Michel Jonasz, un des plus grands artistes de ces 30 dernières années… avec tous ses plus grands classiques, gravés dans la mémoire collective : ‘’Dites-moi’’, ‘’Super nana’’, La boîte de Jazz’’,’’ Les vacances au bord de la mer’’, ‘’Lord Have Mercy’’, ‘’Changez tout’’, ‘’Joueur de Blues’’, ‘’Groove Baby Groove’’, ‘’Je voulais te dire que je t’attends’’… Des chansons intemporelles, réunies sur cet impeccable triple CD.

This two-CD set collects most of Celine Dion's essential recordings from her pre-superstar years, when she was a very young French singer, popular in Canada and France. This set starts with the heavily synthesized Euro pop of the 1988 Eurovision contest winner "Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi," which was the song that introduced the singer to international audiences, and is something of a milestone in her career. Many of the songs on this set are fair, and differ from the processed teen pop of the late 1990s because of the ever-present sincerity in Dion's voice. Highlights include the elegant ballads "Tellement J'ai D'amour Pour Toi," "Benjamin," and "La Voix Du Bon Dieu"; the shimmering "Avec Toi" and "Du Soleil Au Coeur"; and the anthemic "C'est Pour Vivre."

Féfé revient avec un troisième album où il visite l’intégralité d’une palette sonore qu’il n’a cessé d’enrichir depuis l’époque où il œuvrait au sein du collectif rap Saïan Super Crew.
A son éventail déjà chatoyant d’influences soul, rock, caraïbe et chanson française, il ajoute une touche africaine essentielle, résultat d’un indispensable retour aux sources.
