| 3.1 good | Erwann S. STAFF | November 27th 23 |
Classy dandy French chanson that really shines through its lust instrumentations - much less with its "oh love is terrible yet sweet" romanticism.

As far as french chanson goes today, you don't get better than this. Biolay's seventh full-length takes a sketchbook approach to songwriting, telling the singer's travel to Argentina with a keen eye for detail and real appreciation for the country's culture. His trademark themes of love, loneliness, disenchantment and existential hopelessness are still there but they found a new sense of purpose with this new musical backdrop. Biolay's orchestral arrangements are as engaging as always, and his composition is denser while maintaining a certain catchiness thanks to the more spirited instrumentals. The progression of the record is really thought out as well, using a few interludes, and some surprising digressions. Biolay's voice does not age gracefully, but it fits his material really well. Moreover, his musical ambition and renewed inspiration makes up for the couple of flaws of this masterful record.
