MARIPOSA (vinyl)

Description

After an intimate and acoustic tour to celebrate his 10-year career, and having lent his pen to several popular hits (Zaz, Frero DeLaVega, Claudio Capéo), Barcella unveils 'Mariposa,' his 5th album, undoubtedly his most… intimate, raw. While his playfulness and delicacy remain, the overall tone is tinged with a kind of smiling melancholy. His tender words are adorned with sensitive strings and "rhythmed" by precise and demanding contemporary sounds. He draws us into his imaginary territories where poetry is queen, bathed in winds and light. There, we find the sun above the clouds. Mariposa means butterfly in Spanish, "because a butterfly is reborn. What a symbol!" It is also the surname of the heroine of his first novel, published two years ago, which offered him another way to write his songs, to "knit and unknit the French language" so that they become even more ours. "This sensitive poet excels on stage and delivers one of the most beautiful song albums of the year." --- Le Parisien ---.
