5.0 out of 5 stars Please...., November 9, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Nue (Audio CD)

I really don't understand many of you people. Once youve heard an album of a certain artist, you expect them to make the same kind of albums over and over again. That's bull.
Lara Fabian's new album Nue is quite different from the previous one, but it's still very very beautiful.
This time she's put in some classical-type of songs, which some of you may find a bit heavy. But there are also still some very groovy uptempo songs, like Rio and sén aller. But maybe the most beautiful and emotional song on the album is Bambina.
Last but not least, she's put in a hidden track, a piano-piece lasting 16 minutes which beautifully covers all the tracks on the album.
It's an extraordinary album, a must-have-cd, and you'll love it.

Lara recently released an English-language album that was no doubt intended to crack the top-40 American market. Some say she was trying to become the second Celine. In the wake of that less-than-entirely-successful effort, she once again recorded this album for her French audience which has acknowledged this superstar for some time (especially those in Quebec where she first succeeded). Nue is a wonderfully musical, while eclectic album. It clearly draws upon international influences---North and South American, Italian---but has a strong classical basis in many of its themes and production. For those who care about such things, collaborator Rick Allison has also cleverly used variations on the same chord progression for several of the compositions. Not to fret. The results neither sound redundant nor elementary. In the end, the true instrument, Lara's superb voice, makes the difference anyway. She continues to demonstrate her versatile talent with an uncanny ability to move effortlessly from one genre to the next, sounding sometimes like a pop diva, with her comfortable timing and expert phrasing, while at another, the unparalleled lead in a choir at Mass. Lara lends a hand herself to the writing, composing one selection as a dedication to her mother. The extended solo piano overture which actually comes at the end of the album (performed we can assume by Allison) is an extra treat. This is a complete package for any listener who enjoys a singer at her best. Understanding French is not a requirement- the music transcends the borders. Bravo, Lara!

An absolutely stunning piece of work. Lara's vocals are breathtaking. The song writing is brilliant. The musicianship is fabulous. The songs are masterpieces, with Lara baring her soul with beauty, finesse, and elegance. The bonus "Piano nocturne" (not labeled on the CD) is a 17 minute piano version of the album. It's magical. Standout tracks inlcude "Le roi est une femme" and "Je suis mon coeur." The duet with Belgian Maurane is "like butter"! Their voices blend smoothly and wonderfully. Very moving lyrically. Her voice is in tip-top shape, easily climbing the scales and expressing emotions deep and moving. A brilliant masterpiece! And, believe me, I've kept myself from exaggerating!!
