A touch of blue eyed soul

"'Reviens' is a unique album that instead of following the same pop formula of 'Seul'; Garou, the lyricists, the producers have opted to go in a different direction...by showcasing and extending Garou's vocal style, intensity and range. The songs contained explore refreshingly different and ecclectic styles from the blues of 'Une dernière fois encore' to the old gospel spiritual sound of 'Pendant que mes cheveux poussent' to the guitar heavy rock of the 70s in 'Hemingway' to the Cajun sound of 'Les filles'. This is an album worth buying, listening to and keeping, because if the lyrics and the music don't get you, his voice will!! Here's to a long lasting and fulfilling career for Garou and Company."

What can I say? Just great

"Great album. And the voice this man has!!! It's like several different voices in one. He's being compared to Joe Cocker and other Zuccheros - not unjustly, he's from the same vocal family. But the power, the range od his voice - and his incredible versality make him unique in the world. And this album does him more justice than his debut one. Really good songs, especially Gerald De Palmas' "Et si on dormait", also "Pendant que mes cheveux poussent", "Les filles".

But the best ones, in my view, are three songs closing the album: "Ne me parlez plus d'elle", "Un premer regard" and the beautiful, beautiful blues "Une derniere fois encore". Good job,Garou,now we are waiting for more! I know that he recorded an English-language album too, but for some mysterious reasons Sony Music refuses to release it. Why is that? He's too good for Sony, maybe?"
