De l'amour mais quelle drôle d'idée

Description

"De l'amour mais quelle drôle d'idée" is truly an actress's album. Born from her encounter with Léonard Lasry, Charlotte Rampling imbues each song with her immediately recognizable vocal imprint, resulting in a unique outcome. With melodies and a production featuring luxurious arrangements, the songs are sometimes spoken, sung, and performed like movie scenes. The exceptionally poetic lyrics evoke intimate feelings ("Magnifique n'est-ce pas," "C'est écrit là dans nos yeux") with an alternation of tenderness, melancholy, and sometimes even a few amused and sharp notes ("Non je ne vois pas qui vous êtes," "Je ne suis pas celle que tu crois," "Assez voyagé"...). Custom-made for Charlotte Rampling, these 10 songs are penned by the duo Elisa Point (lyrics) - Léonard Lasry (music), who also share the duet "Via Condotti," a poignant ballad set in the streets of Rome released last spring, which served as the starting point for recording this album, as unexpected as it is enchanting.
