Chansons pour les pieds

Description

« The unique ambition of these songs: to make people get up, look at each other, talk, brush against each other, sing and dance. Just songs for the feet... » This is what Jean-Jacques Goldman delivers about his new album. A kind of nod to a certain idea of French song, which must automatically be a song with lyrics... But that doesn't mean that Jean-Jacques Goldman hasn't taken care of his lyrics, whose themes remain unchanged: a bittersweet look at society and love.
It is indeed on the music side that Jean-Jacques Goldman surprises in this new opus. Even if his touch is well present on traditional rocks, ballads (La Pluie...) and unifying anthems (Ensemble), the composer has exaggerated some of these influences in the arrangements: Celtic, disco, and even techno (the surprising C'est pas vrai). A melting pot that offers what seems to be, to date, Goldman's best album, at least the most surprising.
