Avec Toi

Description

Pierre Gisèle has finally emerged from his room to record *Avec Toi*, a third album where the artist undergoes a transformation. He shares himself with his characteristic honesty, that wild and undefinable charm, but also a great deal of inspiration, and, this is new, a much richer and more shimmering musical setting than on his first two records. In addition to feeling that the songs were written for us, we also hear the comings and goings of friends, doors opening, laughter, a choir. The microphones capture life. A life where bitter daily routines are transformed into sunny melodies, and where one settles comfortably into a mishmash of arrangements, drum machines, and samples. What strikes you here is above all the transparency of the intention and the way Pierre Gisèle manages to combine, with a disconcerting balance, the urge to dance with a sense of injustice, laughter with tears, and the joy of living with melancholy. Ornella doesn't want to say goodbye, and neither do we. Her boundless pop music sticks with you, and each track is an earworm that sings of our routines and reminds us that we are not alone.
