5.0 out of 5 stars A superb singer does it again, April 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Chatelet Les Halles (Audio CD)

Florent Pagny has a voice that you cannot help but fall in love with. Sometimes classic, strong, clear, sometimes soft, soothing and sexy and still at other times rebellious. He is a man of many moods and many styles. I consider "Et un jour une femme" a spectacular masterpiece, the type of song that one falls in love with instantly. "L'air du temps", "Y'a pas un homme" and "legende de Carlos Gardel" are other masterpieces that perhaps need to be listened to more than once before being truly appreciated. Florent Pagny takes the French language to new heights. He is a huge talent which I am only now discovering and enjoying immensely.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another classic - songs to make you think!, June 16, 2001

Florent Pagny at his best - strong and very moody. Chatelet les halles which has been released as a single is a thought-provoking song but a strange choice, I think, for a single. I just love "Terre" and "Les Ombres" for their rythms and most especially the lyrics. I always enjoyed Pagny for his rythms but this time the dictionary has been well thumbed. Surprised that Pascal Obisco didn't play as big a role as usual but I have no complaints about the quality of the songs.

I have had this album since it was first released and have always loved it. Last week I watched Pagny's concert at the Olympia which contains some of the songs from this disc so I went back and played it again and it hasn't been out of my cd player since. This album is a real masterpiece, each song shows off Pagny's voice at it's best and the lyrics are heartfelt and meaningful. "Et un jour une femme" is one of the most beautful songs I've ever heard and always brings chills to my spine and tears to my eyes but every song on the disc is great. For a real treat, listen to Pagny's "2" whcih includes duets of alot of these songs, some of them almost surpassing the originals. What a treat to re-discover this album after not hearing it for a while.
