Includes the singles \"Chloroforme\", \"Garçon Bleu\", \"Vercors Hardcore\", \"J'rêve d'un CRS\". We had missed Mademoiselle K. Five years have passed since her last album, \"Sous les brûlures l'incandescence intacte\", one of the best French chansons has ever produced. In French rock, which has always struggled to embrace the feminine, the demanding Katerine Gierak quickly made her mark. The productions she has offered us so far have often exceeded the standards of the genre. Ambitious, creative, co-produced by Nantes-based Simon Quenea and Pierre Cheguillaume, these new tracks are no exception to the rule. Mademoiselle K presents herself as a band, her faithful Peter Combard is never far, but she alone is in charge of each of her projects. She decides. Like when, after three albums signed with a record company, she chose to regain her independence to avoid compromise. This led to the creation of her own label Kravache with a K in 2013, and with it two albums, including the invigorating \"Hungry Dirty Baby\", written in Shakespeare's language. It contains several gems, including \"R U Swimming?\", chosen by Antony Cordier to illustrate his film \"Gaspard va au mariage\". Knowing how to decide does not prevent questioning oneself. Doubt is even a second nature for Katerine Gierak. No matter the hundreds of thousands of records sold, Mademoiselle K questions herself. A nomination for the Victoires de la Musique, duets with Zazie and Jacques Higelin change nothing. So when she reaches her forties, she wonders if the time has not come to move on. It's true, after all, with age, female singers become an endangered species, why should she be an exception? \"Is this the end? Am I finished?\" she sings on \"Chloroforme\" at the opening of her new opus. The brilliance of this new album quickly provides the answer: no. The saying goes that one discovers oneself when one faces an obstacle, Mademoiselle K is no exception. Is it the fear of losing the use of a finger, the fear of never being able to play her instrument again, that makes the reunion between the singer and her musicians burst forth in the powerful \"Nos intensités\"? Is it the isolation of Covid, to remind us of our need for society? Not without humor, the artist takes her part and offers us a \"Gratin de Tendresse\". A lightness that she sometimes lacked, but which suits her well and does us good. The new Mademoiselle K is a great vintage imbued with sensuality (\"Vercors Hardcore\", \"Les Trains\", \"Gâché\", \"Sous mon pull\", \"Ta Sueur\"...). As usual, Katerine does not bother with clichés: \"J'ai les bras en érections, tu me fais l'effet wagon\" she admits in \"Les Trains\". In a few words, she delivers raw and precise poetry. On this new opus, Mademoiselle K's voice unfolds with impressive accuracy and mastery, alternately sarcastic, energetic, luminous and tender (Garçon Bleu). If ten years of conservatory training made her a guitar virtuoso, she reminds us on this album that she is also a great singer. She has a responsibility. She knows she is expected. More than 2000 supported her on Ulule. During this upcoming tour, Mademoiselle K will want to thank them. We can already imagine them uniting and jumping to the catchy \"J'rêve d'un CRS\"... Rock can act as a balm, can wake us up, make us ecstatic. This is what we feel when listening to this new work. Mademoiselle K is a very great artist. The Scots have Sharleen Spiteri, the English PJ Harvey, the Americans, Chrissie Hynde, let's rejoice in counting her among them.","brand":"Mademoiselle K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55306595303768,"sku":null,"price":23884544.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3700187678913_1f6b7604-274d-4f64-879c-edda277b78d4.jpg?v=1760288322","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/mademoiselle-k_mademoiselle-k_2022_bel","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
