Music reviews of Bye Bye Beaut?
Music Review: Tres bien
Rating: 5 Stars
"Bye Bye Beaute" is the second album from French singer Coralie Clement, and is quite a bit more uptempo from her debut release "Salle des pas Perdus". Most of the songs were penned by her brother, Benjamin Biolay (also rather famous in the French music scene), and Coralie sounds thoroughly lovely singing this set of 12 songs.
All of the songs are in French, and if this causes you consternation then you should probably look elsewhere. If that doesn't bother you, the album is quite a treat to listen to. Coralie's vocal work has improved from her debut, and she utilizes her breathy, almost raspy voice to its fullest. On some of the songs she sounds almost syrupy sweet, sometimes like a proven jazz crooner, and almost always bringing to mind the ever dangerous femme fatale. The music itself sounds like it would be perfect for a smokey Parisian lounge, with jazzy riffs, great rhythm and percussion, and strong guitar work.
My personal favorites would have to be the jazzy songs "L'enfer", and the opening track "Indicise", but "Un Beau Jour pour Mourir", "Gloria", the softer title track, and "Et Pourtant" (a duet with her brother, I believe) are all excellent.
If you have any interest in experiencing some French pop music and enjoy lovely and distinctive female vocalists, then chances are you would enjoy Coralie Clement. I picked it up on a whim after hearing a clip of "Indicise" and was more than well rewarded.
Description of Bye Bye Beaut?
Clement is a French singer in her early twenties whose whispery voice and world-weary attitude recall Francoise Hardy at the dizzy heights of yeh yeh-dom, Jane Birkin, Keren Anne, Nico, the early Marianne Faithful (although the lyrics to these songs tend to mirror the mature artiste) and lately, Carla Bruni. Very few singers have the restraint to wait three full years between albums -- the less-rocked-out, soft-jazzy Salle Des Pas Perdus constituted her debut -- but it's obvious that the time was well spent. Touring has tightened her phrasing, which still needed work, and uncovered an inexorable womanly tinge that cuts through the determined girlishness of her vocals like a stiletto through a Prada jacket. Her multi-faceted brother, Benjamin Biolay, wrote most of the songs and among other contributions, supplies a host of partly unraveled, garage-scented guitar riffs. But it's Coralie's show all the way and bodes well for the future. --Christina RodenChamber Pop CDs
