La course folle

Description

The artist confides with a smile that he took so much pleasure in writing and composing it. We believe him. The album is a concentrate of delights. It features accomplished writing, finely crafted lyrics, sun-drenched pop touches. We discover a voice freed from its youthful air, even more masterful, that timbre that plays around and slips from octave to octave. It took him hours on stage since Mélancolie heureuse (2017) to dare to play with it, right down to the arrangements. It took him a lot of work to flirt with the choruses lightly. On his previous record, the artist questioned in minor key the future of the planet, the weight of time and the meaning of transmission. 2020 and its share of uncertainties made touring and hesitation vanish. What will remain of it? Its author responds in major key and chooses to twist the intensity of life, the beauty of the ephemeral, with a panache of modern elegance and sincerity. This album was born during our first lockdown, between the budding fruits of the vineyard, the generous spring sun and the suggested stillness. Tim wanted to make the waves sway, to set the sounds in motion. Just to please you, the prologue track, sets the pace of the journey. This 2021 vintage is delicious, Tim Dup radiant. We find his fragrances inspired by reality and his faithful companions. If Tim writes, composes, arranges and produces his songs, he is not alone. He likes to surround himself and bring to light the talent of others. La course folle is a collective adventure. A third high-flying record that tells of La légèreté précieuse and carries us from Soleil to Les cinquantièmes hurlants. An album full of songs. Tim Dup sends out invitations to sunny reunions, it is time to loosen up winter, toward the wild race of summer!
