Le cœur au vent (LP)

Description

HK's heart is set free! With this new album, our troubadour, surrounded by his lifelong friends, opens up more than ever. As usual, he offers us songs that are simultaneously committed, unifying, and uplifting ("Un beau pays", "Une vie de rêves et de combats", "Un peuple uni"); but this time he adds more intimate songs ("Ciao l'artiste", "Le coeur au vent"). There are also songs where HK returns to his first loves and reconnects with rap to better draw us in, just like in the best days of M.A.P ("L'Étincelle et la flamme", "L'Enfant sauvage", "Serrer les rangs"). Grand epics ("Le vent se lève"), small everyday stories that touch our hearts ("Le petit papier journal"), poetic moments of escape ("Heureuses les colombes"), romance, love ("Au soir d'un long voyage")... The drums crack, the bass rumbles, the violins soar, the accordion wanders, the brass instruments have fun, the guitars rebel... And HK's voice resonates, always and again, persistently. "I wanted to sing to make bombs waltz, To cover foul intentions with sound, Above all, I wanted to bring people together, Without barriers of color, belief, or money."
