Tout est vrai

Description

Séverin returns with a radiant album, infused with elegant French pop, the influence of Souchon and Voulzy always close at hand as he brings his sweet-and-sour moods to life in verses and choruses. If everything is going well for Séverin, it’s because he has managed to build a dam, an impregnable fortress, and his records now carry a scent of simplified idealism. Above all, Séverin knows how to invent new frameworks, to push the walls: Recorded in just six days at Chale Abbey Studios on the Isle of Wight, he prioritizes the energy of the collective and relies on a loyal team of musicians — Sage, Jérémie Arcache already present on the previous album "Nouveaux Dinosaures," bassist Théodora Delillez (Astral Bakers), and Canadian Robbie Kuster (Patrick Watson) on drums complete the lineup. In the face of the illusions of an era marked by AI and post-truth, Séverin delivers an album that does not cheat with feelings or with music.
