2.0 out of 5 stars Early album with dated arrangements, July 20, 2002

This review is from: Je, Tu, Ils (Audio CD)

I cringed when I first heard 'Je, tu, ils', and despite my fondness for Zazie's following albums, rarely re-visit it to try and like it. Three years later (1995) Zazie released Zen, which is superb melodic rock with catchy and imaginative songwriting and musical arrangements, but this .... Dated backing synths and attempts at 'funky' guitars, and limp songs.

Good things: the great 'Sucre, sale'; 'Snowball', interesting for us English language speakers, a little kid's dark tale, but Zazie in English loses the magic for me.

If you aren't annoyed by the dated sounds, maybe you'll be less blind to the charms of the songs than I am. Mylene Farmer's first two albums are older, yet the unique songs shine through to my ears, and hopefully some people will feel the same with this. One for completists, if you can pick it up mid-price in France.

If you're lucky enough to understand the subtleties of the French language, this album is for you ! Indeed, Zazie is the Queen of clever lyrics and thus, may be compared to the great Serge Gainsbourg. In terms of music, "Je tu il" will delight every one : "Sucré Salé" and "Je tu ils" are sheer ectasy to your ears... WARNING : If you listen to this CD, you may fall in love.
