Jamais dire jamais

Description

Glamour, glory, and beauty. Three words that perfectly sum up Hélène in Paris, the new queen of the City of Light, a phenomenon singer, and a social media icon. The height of this late and unexpected fame? The recording of an album written and composed for her by Bertrand Burgalat, Marc Lavoine, Fabrice Aboulker, Léonard Lasry, and Elisa Point. One could say it’s the cream of the crop of French pop songwriters gathered around our new star like fairies around a cradle. Titled "Jamais dire jamais," this sparkling album reflects its performer: a pure concentrate of pop, happiness, whimsy, humor, chic and shocking Parisian flair, and charm with three exclamation points!!! After "Ferrari," the explosive first single, the album takes unexpected turns with the great moment of tenderness and sweetness that is "Preuves d’amour," a duet featuring Hélène and Marc Lavoine. It winds its way into whimsy tinged with a slight melancholy with "Cocktail 5 étoiles," which stylishly incorporates the iconic music of Dim tights. It heads straight to cloud nine with "Alors tant pis," a duet in an elevator and weightlessness between Hélène and Bertrand, which has the laid-back pop nonchalance of Lanzmann's hits for Dutronc, only to later infect us with the dance virus through "Va t’faire voir au paradis," a pure bliss moment composed by Burgalat. It takes us on a journey to "Formentera," a beautiful dreamy track co-written and composed by Marc Lavoine and Bertrand Burgalat, veers into humor with a new duet with Marc Lavoine, "J’te dirai ouais," heads straight into the purest romanticism in a sublime duet with Léonard Lasry, "De quel côté votre cœur," before concluding with her unassailable hit and personal mantra, "Just be you."
