"We reached the estuary, And braved the sobs, Of the sky and its rages, We were scared we were hot." The song "Le Bleu de la Mer Noire" opens the fiftieth studio album by Sylvie Vartan and sets the tone. An album composed of fourteen tracks, very coherent, with powerful lyrics and discreet, elegant, and unapologetic nostalgia. Personal themes such as a return to childhood, love, and abandonment are present in this opus. According to Sylvie, "Le Bleu de la Mer Noire" is a poetic way of approaching the theme of exile; the image is very strong. It's a bit of my story." Léonard Lasry, Joseph d'Anvers, and Clara Luciani then make their entrance as authors/composers. All three are working with Sylvie for the first time. An album whose unity is remarkable, with high-quality arrangements orchestrated by friend Philippe Russo. "I believe this album is truly one of my best," summarizes Sylvie. "Everything is coherent, and each song corresponds to me."
