Jean-Michel

Description

Just twenty years of career, fourteen albums released, and soon his seventh solo album. He moves calmly in a world that must go fast, intuition slung over his shoulder and sincerity as his compass. On January 26, the new album by Tom Poisson, simply titled "Jean-Michel," will be released. It has taken storms, disappearances, immense joys, and births. It has required writing, composing, singing, producing, and staging; concerts, multi-artist experiences, and other musical shows. Trying, insisting, varying forms, starting over (...) so that Poisson can get closer to himself. Jean-Michel is his legal first name. It is him. The 14 songs that make up this new album are him, in all his intimacy, his DNA in a way. Him, a father. Him, an artist. Him, now an orphan, a restless but optimistic citizen of the world, who dances when life tilts, who doubts when others know, who runs just before fear paralyzes him. Album after album, Tom spreads his wings like a flying fish, offering us a three-dimensional theater imbued with humanity and thus manages to nourish his Too big imagination. His flaws are ours, his soaring moments relieve us.
