Editorial Reviews

2007 release from Biolay, one of the most exciting talents in French music and one of the key players who have helped change the course of French Pop in recent years. His recorded output has already earned him the 'new Serge Gainsbourg' tag in his homeland and across Europe. His work is commercially accessible, yet compelling and emotional. Although he remains a modern artiste, his influences reach back to classic French Pop throughout the decades, which he proudly incorporates into his beguiling music. 12 tracks. EMI. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This is a really superb production from Benjamin Biolay. The lyrics (in French) are mostly about disenchanted love, but the music stand by itself. Pure pop.

This is another superb effort from one of the world's premiere songwriters. Understanding French is a plus, but certainly not necessary to enjoy Biolay's work. While not quite showing the scope & occasional bombast of A L'Origine, his last work, the melodies are predictably superb & the songs well delivered & produced. An excellent product & fine place to start for those interested in discovering exceptional songwriting.

2.0 out of 5 stars Narcissistic mike-licking effort, June 8, 2008

This review is from: Trash Yeye (Audio CD)

I was a huge fan of the "Negatif" album. However, on this latest effort, Biolay appears to have caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror, and caught the terrible disease good-looking men must beware of: the romance of the self-reflection. The songs appear to have been breathed into the tracks. Seriously. The idea of sexy music, especially in the French way, has more to do with attitude and non-chalance. In this record, I am aware, as a listener, that Biolay finds himself attractive and that is somehow interesting. No, that is not. The lyrics have the touchy-feely, morose tone of the Rimbaud-wannabe dissafected suburban (French) teenager, dumped by his girlfriend after he misbehaves at her family's bourgeois dinner function. I bought this record, full of expectation, to listen to wanking vocals. Thanks but no thanks!!!
