Thomas Dutronc & The Frenchies

Description

Cure the winter blues by re-listening to Thomas Dutronc's five best albums on single and double vinyl. Thomas Dutronc & The Frenchies: On this opus, the artist presents a new edition of his 'Frenchy' project with 7 new tracks, including 'Le petit jardin' in a duet with his father Jacques Dutronc. It features an exceptional cast, with Jane Birkin, Eddy Mitchell, Clara Luciani, Etienne Daho and Philippe Katerine, as well as great jazz musicians such as Eric Legnini, Rocky Gresset, Denis Benarrosh and Thomas Bramerie. Live Is Love: This album is a postcard from a long tour, reflecting the spirit of a team simply united by their love of music, without artifice. In addition to his hit songs 'J’aime plus Paris' and 'Comme un Manouche sans guitare', it features a good half of unreleased tracks such as his version of 'Mademoiselle' offered to Henri Salvador, the superb 'Rocking Chair' for which he wrote the lyrics, and a moving cover of John Lennon's 'Love'. Éternels Jusqu'à Demain: Third studio album, with more pop sounds, produced by star producer Jon Kelly (Paul McCartney, Kate Bush) in London. On this opus, Thomas surrounded himself with brilliant musicians - Sam Dickson (Adele) on bass, Matt Johnson (Jamiroquai) on keyboards, John Paricelli (Willy Moon, Sia). These new songs are furiously catchy and the lyrics are as poetic as ever. Silence on Tourne, On tourne en Rond: This is an electric album, more rock, more binary, an eclectic, rock'n'funny object, which also allows itself to swing and confide in a ballad. Thomas Dutronc sought to make a record that does not confine itself to a musical atmosphere but an album whose lyrics are remembered. Comme un manouche sans guitare: For this first album, the artist uninhibitedly blends gypsy swing and French chanson, and allows himself bossa escapades or culinary ballads on a soft seventies porn soundtrack. An album that reflects its singer-songwriter: light, tender, and full of humor.
