Mené par le titre «Spirit of Samba», qui en sera la colonne vertébrale, le nouvel album de Laurent Voulzy est un voyage au Brésil dans son imagination. «Spirit of Samba» dans sa version longue, des inédits, des reprises : il fait déjà chaud et la température ne va faire que monter au son des vagues et des mélodies douces et chaloupées dont seuls Laurent Voulzy – et Alain Souchon en coulisses – connaissent le secret. Attention cet album va prolonger votre été jusqu’à Noël

Georges Brassens was a French singer-songwriter and poet.

In 1967, he received the Grand Prix de Poésie of the Académie française. Between 1952 and 1976, he recorded fourteen albums that include several popular French songs such as Les copains d'abord, Chanson pour l'Auvergnat, La mauvaise réputation, and Mourir pour des idées.

Adelmo Fornaciari is the real name of the talented Italian musician more commonly known to the world by his nickname Zucchero ("Sugar"), given to him by an elementary school teacher. He began playing the guitar in his home province of Reggio Emilia, focusing on music in the blues/R&B mold. As a teenager in the early '70s, he founded a local band called Le Nuove Luci. He formed another group, Sugar and Candies, in 1978, and began writing as well – Italian pop songs for other artists, and more blues-oriented material for himself…

Popular throughout the 1960s and '70s, Marie Laforêt is a French pop singer who garnered fame initially as a film actress during the early to mid-'60s. Born Maïténa Doumenach to parents of Armenian heritage on October 5, 1939, in Soulac-sur-Mer, Aquitaine, France, she made her film debut in 1960 in the René Clément drama Plein Soleil, a big-screen adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. Plein Soleil not only launched the acting career of Laforêt; it also made a cinema star of actor Alain Delon. In the wake of her showbiz breakthrough, Laforêt was offered one role after another, notably beginning with Saint Tropez Blues (1961) and La Fille aux Yeux d'Or (1961)…

"Accompagnée de son inséparable boîte magique et de ce sourire qui en dit si long, Mary L*Asterisk prend sa plume à la mine mal taillée pour écrire quelques mots détonants sur ce monde peuplé de tarés et de tordus, ces milliers de gens qui semblent se coaguler pour provoquer en nous une hémorragie d’idées noires. Pansements pour âmes atteintes d’un vertigineux mal du siècle, les chansons de Mary L*Asterisk invitent à lâcher prise, à ne plus suivre la ligne droite d’une norme par trop étouffante, nous incitant à partir vers un ailleurs épris de liberté, d’humour et de partage, "

French Touch brings together a delightful trove of sentimental pop favorites; all reimagined in Carla Bruni's intimate and moving acoustic style and chosen for their personal significance in her own words, songs that inspire the French term for love at first sight a coup de foudre. Coup de foudre more or less also describes what happened when Bruni met Grammy award winning producer, composer, and musician David Foster after an L.A. performance in 2014. Foster volunteered to produce Carla's next record on the spot, and the two began a transatlantic sharing of songs, which was then shaped during twin recording sessions in Paris and L.A. French Touch is warm and familiar, and inimitably Carla. Richly melodic, warm yet minimal, and often slyly playful - all the arrangements in this collection have been given that French Touch, and still have all the universal appeal as their originals, albeit with a sultry flavor all their own.

For this double album, pianist Alexandre Tharaud invited a spectacular array of guest performers to join him in paying tribute to the singer-songwriter Barbara, who died 20 years ago, in November 1997. She shares a place of honour in French song with two other ‘B’s’, Jacques Brel and Georges Brassens. Among the featured artists are three world-famous actress-singers Juliette Binoche, Vanessa Paradis and Jane Birkin. It is 20 years since Barbara died, aged 67, on November 24th 1997. Alexandre Tharaud’s idea for this album dates back to the day of her funeral. He, like many other fans, went to the cemetery in Bagneux on the outskirts of Paris.

Edith Piaf: hoe fataal was zij voor Yves Montand, Georges Moustaki en Charles Aznavour? Wist je dat Gilbert Bécaud, Serge Gainsbourg en Sacha Distel voor een en dezelfde schone vielen? En wie was Mathilde voor Jacques Brel? Je gaat er onherroepelijk achter komen in Chansons Fatales, waarin duivelse, donkere, demonische dames een avond lang het hartstochtelijk mikpunt zijn van Eddy en zijn Vedettes. Piaf natuurlijk, maar ook Juliette Gréco, Françoise Hardy, Jane Birkin en andere Brigitte Bardots die als femmes fatales niet alleen ontelbare harten op hol deden slaan, maar ook hun mannelijke collega’s betoverden. De Kleine Komedie wordt een avond lang ondergedompeld in Franse sferen waarin volgens de Volkskrant ‘frontman Frank Mercelis en zijn kompanen erin slagen Franse klassiekers als nieuw te laten klinken.'

The fourth CD from the Hildegard Knef album edition contains the two original albums "Heimweh-Blues" (1978) and "Da ist ein Zeit" (1980). In the second half of the 70s, the disco era, Hildegard Knef's swinging chansons seemed obsolete. Producer Fred Weyrich, on the album "Heimweh-Blues", gave the Knef a new musical by combining them with pop producer Harold Faltermeyer.

The third CD from Hildegard Knef album edition contains the two original albums "Lausige Zeiten" (1977) and "Überall blühen Rosen" (1978). In 1977, after a break, Knef returned as her own copywriter, with a new team from Herbert Rehbein (arranger) and Fred Weyrich (producer). Rehbein is an excellent performer who is able to adapt herself musically to the artist. Like his predecessor Hans Hammerschmid, he finds convincing ways to reproduce their lyrics with demanding ballads, swinging big-band numbers and oblique chansons.

Après le disque de diamant de l’album Vieillir avec toi composé par Calogero et un détour par Cuba avec Habana, l’album Le présent d’abord est un nouveau virage spectaculaire comme Florent Pagny les aime depuis toujours – « Partir dans de nouvelles aventures, c’est ma spécialité », avoue-t-il. Le présent d’abord mêle les générations et les univers : Florent Pagny a confié la réalisation de son album à Dany Synthé (Sapés comme jamais de Maître Gims, les tubes de MHD, Black M…). Ce mélange de générations et de cultures musicales est le prototype de cet album, pour lequel Florent Pagny chante des titres de Maître Gims, Slimane, Lionel Florence, Nazim (Amir, Claudio Capéo, Kendji Girac, Alma…), Antoine Essertier (Vianney, Daran, June The Girl…) et de toute une génération de jeunes auteurs et compositeurs.

The first CD from the Hildegard Knef album edition contains the two original albums "Und Ich Dreh' Mich Nochmal Um" (1972) and "Ich Bin Den Weiten Weg Gegangen" (1974). The Knef of the early seventies turned around for a short time and then continued on her first two Philips albums with the changing time spirit. Instead of Schlager and Swing, she sang sensitive, reflected ballads, became Germany's first singer-songwriter. Both albums were created in the tried and tested team with Hans Hammerschmid (composition & arrangement) and husband David Cameron (production).
