Longue distance

Description

Nomination for the 2005 Victoires de la Musique: female artist or performer Is it because she claimed to need no one that Véronique Sanson has always given off this image of a solitary artist clinging to the rock of a refined variety, of which she, along with a few others, has helped to write the most beautiful pages? Even when she pays tribute, in front of a real crowd, to Jean-Louis Foulquier on the stage of the Francofolies de La Rochelle, one can read a singular solitude in her eyes, a solitude that only the traps of life and the vicissitudes of the mind can confer. In 2004, the one who dreamed of America better than anyone else is back with this solid album that carries her unchanging doubts on graceful melodies, and hits just as hard as "De l'autre côté de mon rêve" or "Indestructible," released in 1998. Longue distance, co-written with her son Chris Stills, Annecy and Cinquième étage, composed by Jean-Noël Chaléat (Françoise Hardy), L'homme de la farandole, written with Alain Chamfort, emerge from a selection of songs inevitably feminine, of which the single J'aime un homme, already on all the airwaves, only gives a timid glimpse.
