Latest review
Various Artists - Gentils GarçonsAfter releasing two albums named Filles Fragiles, Guuzbourg (an alias of Dutch journalist Guus Hoogaerts) presents a new compilation of French chansons. This time it’s not an album full of fragile girls singing, but just nice boys who can make happy girls out of angry women. This last remark is written on the cover of this cd by Dutch singer Wende Snijders.
Gentils Garçons creates a picture of a summer in the Provence. Sitting in a lavender field, eating a baguette with Camembert and sipping a cool rosé wine. Listening to this album doesn’t ask for a lot of fantasy to imagine this scenery, it is what it’s made for.
Godfather of male chansonniers Serge Gainsbourg leads this pack of boys that make girls sigh. His Couleur Café is the oldest song on this compilation, 13 other tracks are released in the past decade. Which proves that this traditional form of French music is still alive. Not all artists who deserved a place on this album are even French. Sammy Decoster is from Belgium and, despite singing in French, creates a sound like he’s some sort of cowboy. More of a surprise is British formation Tindersticks. Frontman Stuart Staples sings in perfect French Plus de Liaisons, originally an English song called No More Affairs. Read full review...
