Fantastic French pop Rock!

"This album is a huge hit right now it France. "Ma Liberté de Penser" and now "Je Trace" were/are both top ten hits in France this summer, with "Sauf Toi" waiting in the wings. And for good reason. Pagny has a strong, gritty rock voice similar to Bon Jovi. Aillers Land has a nice mix of ballads and rockers w/diverse, insightful lyrics.
"Le feu a la peau" written by Daniel Lavoie of Notre-Dame de Paris fame is a beautiful, sexy, slow tempo song similar to Duran-Duran's "come undone".
"Mon Amour oublie que je l'aime" is a well written relationship song that contains some of the best lyrics I've ever read.
And "Demandez a mon cheval" is a fun, tongue in cheek, tribute to the loyalty and hidden wisdom of animals.
Aillers Land is a great introduction to French pop for people like me that grew up on Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Queensryche and the rest of the 80's-early 90's rock bands.
Check it out!!"
I love this album!

"J'adore Florent Pagny! This has to be one of his best albums. I bought it this summer over in France after hearing Je trace on the french music tv. I have some of his others but love this one. Even my kids love his music! Bonne Journée!"
