La beauté de l'idée

Description

Guitarist, composer, and co-founder of Indochine, Dominik Nicolas did not know, when he bought his first musical instruments at the end of the 70s, that he would be the origin of a true tsunami. A major formation of French pop since the mid-80s, Indochine has multiplied successful tours and amassed gold records. But in 1995, after eight albums and a string of hits ("L'aventurier", "Troisième Sexe", "Trois nuits par semaine"), Dominik left the ship and the spotlight, without taking his retirement. With his guitars, resolutely rock rhythms, and catchy choruses, La beauté de l'idée testifies to Dominik Nicolas's desire to return to the limelight. Alternately vehement ("Ici"), up-to-date ("Instagram"), sensual ("Underground", "L'amour"), a bit new wave ("A ne pas croire", "Une ville sans néons"), wonderfully combining rock and electro ("La balançoire", "Une fois encore"), this album is a resounding success that we surely should not have underestimated.
