Decouvrez Biolay!

"This is another superb effort from one of the world's premiere songwriters. Understanding French is a plus, but certainly not necessary to enjoy Biolay's work. While not quite showing the scope & occasional bombast of A L'Origine, his last work, the melodies are predictably superb & the songs well delivered & produced. An excellent product & fine place to start for those interested in discovering exceptional songwriting."

Narcissistic mike-licking effort

"I was a huge fan of the "Negatif" album. However, on this latest effort, Biolay appears to have caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror, and caught the terrible disease good-looking men must beware of: the romance of the self-reflection. The songs appear to have been breathed into the tracks. Seriously. The idea of sexy music, especially in the French way, has more to do with attitude and non-chalance. In this record, I am aware, as a listener, that Biolay finds himself attractive and that is somehow interesting. No, that is not. The lyrics have the touchy-feely, morose tone of the Rimbaud-wannabe dissafected suburban (French) teenager, dumped by his girlfriend after he misbehaves at her family's bourgeois dinner function. I bought this record, full of expectation, to listen to wanking vocals. Thanks but no thanks!!!"

First-rate song writing

"This is a really superb production from Benjamin Biolay. The lyrics (in French) are mostly about disenchanted love, but the music stand by itself. Pure pop."
