La grande effusion

Description

Since 40 years, he has been part of our world, of our family. In one way or another. Because Kent is an adventurer who loves to travel: he sets aside his own records to write songs for others, he plays around in books-albums, pours out in the longer formats of novels or in comic strips when he wants to chill. Then when music calls him back, he innovates again with a piano-voice formula… to try a new language, before returning to a slightly more pop format. He never really goes very far, but enough for us to miss him.
With "La grande effusion", it's time for celebrations. From the electrifying standards of Starshooter to the now-classic songs of his repertoire, Kent happily surveys four decades of creation here and revisits nearly twenty essential tracks. Sometimes alone accompanied by his band, sometimes in duet with Alex Beaupain, Pierre Guénard from Radio Elvis, Katel or Alice Animal, the Lyonnais songwriter reveals the extraordinary coherence of his repertoire and brilliantly reminds us that he is among the greatest authors of his generation.
Recorded during the anniversary concert held on November 7, 2017, at the Café de la Danse in Paris, "La grande effusion" is the perfect illustration of a rich and multifaceted career led with the rigor and precision of an exceptional artist for 40 years.
Includes 2 tracks from Starshooters: "Congas et maracas" and "Besty Party"
