All fire, all blue. If we had to describe Jil Caplan's new album in colors, those would be the ones. Fire like the blaze of anger and the inferno of passion, blue like the infinite azure and the bruises of the soul. Embers and blues, flame and spleen. Sensuality and melancholy should also be added, swirling in a whirlwind of emotions. Like a black sun, as dark as it is incandescent. Dancing on the ashes, to rediscover joy, flight, to simply live again.After the electro-pop of Derrière la porte and the gypsy jazz of Imparfaite, her previous albums, Jil Caplan returns to her eternal loves, a return to the sources that have always nourished her: folk rock with guitars, carnal ballads, subtle harmonies, somewhere between Paul McCartney and Jeff Buckley. All this thanks to the magic of a meeting: that of Émilie Marsh, musician, composer, author and performer, who was for a long time the guitarist and arranger for the singer Dani, prematurely departed, but whose benevolent spirit hovers over the duo. A complicity with creative ardor: Émilie on music, Jil on lyrics, a fused tandem, alter egos, notes and words, arrangements woven by the two of them in the same ideal setting. There are rumbling basses and acidic guitars, surging choruses and heartbeats, graceful melodies and poignant flights, velvet and thorns, folk and rock, urban country, which make for tenacious songs. A variety of colors, nuances and tessituras, hemmed by the fervent voice of a free and intimate Jil Caplan.With Sur les cendres danser, Jil Caplan signs one of her best albums, undoubtedly the most beautiful and most personal. Elegance, emotion, energy, poetry, everything that resembles her. Everything that brings us together.
