CELUI QUI ABOIE

Description

"Stupidity is a person who lives and says 'That's enough for me'," Jacques Brel used to say. It seems Soan has drawn inspiration from this. While this thirst for life has led him to burn out in the past, it is towards tranquility and creation that it now takes him through his new album, "Celui qui Aboie" (He Who Barks). With this album, Soan gives himself a second wind, without compromise or special effects, a return to basics. To immerse oneself in his world is to discover a world of intense poetry rooted both in Jacques Brel's emphatic interpretation and in the energy of despair infused by 90s grunge. In "Celui qui Aboie," Soan borrows from the great Jacques his playful stories carried by music infused with folk influences. But Soan also had the idea of inviting Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam) and Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) alongside them to compose introspective lyrics that reconstruct his inner world word by word, splashed by his emotional overflows, and which he sings by torturing phrases to extract sincerity to the last drop. In his words, in his gestures, French song reinvents itself and belts out with the fury of a grunge band.
